Tropical evergreen tree Graviola is a medicinal plant found in Amazon valley is also known as guanabana and soursop. Graviola produces a tasty fruit that is sold in Caribbean,Africa, Southeast Asian, and South and Central American markets. Herbalists treat cancer, diabetes, anxiety, parasites, spasms and other medical conditions with graviola.

Medical Researchers are studying graviola's ability as an anti-cancer treatment. Seek advice from a physician before using graviola medicinally.

Description

Graviola privides delicious and subtle flavor several Desserts, liqueurs and drinks are made by this fruit, which is also called custard apple and Brazilian paw paw. Since graviola fruit does not ship well, it is mainly available in the United States as a canned nectar beverage, or sometimes as preserved or frozen pulp. Indigenous people of the equatorial area use all parts of the graviola tree medicinally.

Cancer

Test-tube and animal research finds that graviola have some definite anti-cancer agent, but human clinical trial research is still lacking. According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) graviola extract is an effective against liver cancer and breast cancers cells. 

Naturopath Leslie Taylor, author of "The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs," notes that studies show graviola has an inhibitory effect on enzyme processes in some cancer cell membranes. Interestingly, graviola only affected cancer cells membranes and not those of healthy cells. This research may lend support to the herb's traditional use against cancer.

Medical researchers think that photochemical called Annonaceous acetogenins, present in the leaves and bark, are the tree's bioactive constituents, according to Barrie Cassileth's article in the September 2008 published on "Oncology." In the laboratory, graviola extracts were successful against leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease caused by the protozoa leishmania. The extract of graviola also effectively combated the herpes simplex virus, which can cause genital herpes and fever blisters. Graviola supports the body's serotonin neuroreceptors and may work as an anti-depressant, writes Cassileth.

Another research suggests, the roots and seeds of the graviola plant have shown the initial toxicity to some neurons. MSKCC report that graviola's possible neurotoxic action may lead to symptoms of a condition similar to Parkinson's disease.

As per Taylor a researcher, the graviola plant can lower blood pressure and can led to vomiting and nausea when too much is ingested.
