Extract of Graviola seeds, Annona muricata, in ethanol and purified water.
Traditional Use: Graviola, also known as Soursop, has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. This plant is highly regarded for its therapeutic properties, with various parts of the plant including the leaves, bark, roots, fruits, and seeds being utilized for a range of health purposes.
The fruit and its juice are commonly used to support the digestive system, treat parasites and worms, and help with cooling fevers. In some cultures, graviola is also used as an astringent for treating diarrhea and dysentery. The seeds, when crushed, are traditionally used to address internal and external parasites, worms, and even head lice.
The leaves, bark, and roots of the graviola tree are believed to have sedative, hypotensive, anti-spasmodic, and nervine qualities. An herbal tea made from these parts is frequently used to support relaxation, reduce spasms, and address issues related to nervous tension.
Throughout history, graviola has been employed in various cultures for its healing properties. In the Andes of Peru, locals prepare tea from the leaves to treat catarrh, or inflamed mucous membranes. In Guyana, native tribes use the leaf or bark to create a heart tonic and sedative. In the Brazilian Amazon, graviola leaf tea has been used to support liver health, while its oil and fruit are applied topically to ease joint pain and conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism.
In the West Indies, Haiti, and Jamaica, the fruit and juice of the graviola plant have been used for treating fevers, diarrhea, and parasites. Additionally, the leaf and bark are employed for their calming, anti-spasmodic, and nervine effects, making them useful in addressing heart problems, hypertension, and respiratory concerns such as coughs, flu, and asthma.
Studies have shown that soursop supplementation can reduce both blood pressure and serum uric acid levels.
