More Benefits of 'Miracle Soursop'

Overwhelmed!

That’s how the readers’ reaction last week’s Save By Miraculous Soursop left me after they expressed their deepest shock on reading and digesting that new knowledge.

My “privacy policy” hinders me from disclosing details about the responses made after that article circulated last week.

Today, the focus will remain on soursop.

Soursop is scientifically called Annona Muricata. It also goes by the other names, including Graviola or Brazilian pawpaw. It contains vitamin B1, B2 and C, calcium, iron, dietary fibre, protein, potassium, magnesium, copper and carbohydrate.

Last week, I explained which part of the soursop I used to heal my depression and other challenges. Now I will list what other researchers have discovered:

The seeds can be employed in the treatment of vomiting.

A decoction made of dried leaves can treat bed bugs, inflammation, swollen feet and head lice.

Pounded green leaves can assist with some skin challenges and rheumatism.

The soursop itself can be consumed to treat urethritis, haematuria and liver ailments.

Some wounds will heal by applying the juice or flesh of the ripe soursop daily.

Gall bladder challenges and catarrh fever, indigestion, coughs, diarrhea and dysentery can be treated using a decoction of the young shoots or leaves.

Mashed leaves are used as a poultice to alleviate aczema and other skin problems and rheumatism.

According to budubelacan.com, “a study conducted at the Catholic University of South Korea and published in the Journal of Natural Products stated that one chemical in soursop was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10000 times the potency of a commonly used chemotherapy drug.

That most significant part of that study is that soursop was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. The side effects when compared to other forms of treatment meant hair loss and nausea were absent.
