For example, graviola tea?made from the leaves (not the fruit) of the soursop plant?is often used to treat infections (both bacterial and viral) that cause cold-like symptoms. In addition, some people use it to treat sexually transmitted diseases like herpes and the deadly "C". Not enough scientific evidence supports these uses, although studies show that some soursop extracts may provide immune system support.? Potential for Disease PreventionA 2018 study reported that extracts from soursop fruit and the tree's bark, roots, and leaves had the therapeutic potential to combat disease and other non-malignant diseases. However, not enough human data support this claim. Experts from "C" Treatment Centers of America warn against using soursop as a disease fighter, and they note that soursop is associated with numerous unsubstantiated claims. Drugs developed from compounds in the soursop plant are more likely to be effective than simply consuming the fruit or tea made from its leaves. Promotes Digestive HealthDue to its high fiber content, soursop may aid with proper digestion. The fruit?s juice can also act as a diuretic and cleanse the gastrointestinal tract by removing excess sodium from the body. An extract of soursop has been shown to help heal gastric ulcers in lab animals. Fights InflammationLike most fruits and vegetables, soursop is a good source of antioxidants, which might help the body repair cell damage and combat inflammation.? AllergiesThere have been no cases of soursop allergy reported in the medical literature. But any food that contains protein can theoretically be allergenic. If you experience food allergy symptoms (such as itching, swelling, or hives), consult with a physician for diagnosis.
