Graviola Leaf Powder

 
Graviola leaf powder is a true miracle from the rainforests used traditionally to ward off illness and disease. Currently well known for its cancer fighting abilities, graviola Leaf has also been praised for its antiviral, antibacterial and anti-parasitic qualities as well as its ability to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression as well as lower blood pressure.

Graviola leaves have been used for centuries by the indigenous tribes of Brazil to relieve spasms and convulsions. Teas made from the graviola leaf were used as a heart tonic and to elevate mood and fight the flu virus, coughs and other inflammatory illnesses. Mixtures made with the graviola leaf were often used externally to ease the pain of arthritis, rheumatism and neuralgia. Crushed leaves were even spread onto beds to promote relaxation and sleep. A recent study confirms the antiviral activity of graviola leaf extract by which it inhibited the cytopathic effects of the herpes simplex virus.

Today scientists are most fascinated with the anti-cancerous and anti-tumor properties of the graviola leaf. This is due to its high level of annonaceous acetogenins, chemicals which are believed to slow down the unique process that takes place in cancerous cells. The acetogenins only attack these cancerous cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed. Acetogenins may have the ability to destroy cancer cells that did not respond to traditional cancer treatments. One clinical study demonstrated that one of the acetogenins in graviola was selectively cytotoxic to colon adenocarcinoma cells. In this study the Annonaceous acetogenins were shown to possess 10,000 times the potency of the chemotherapeutic drug adriamycin. Graviola Leaf may be especially beneficial to those with colon, lung, pancreatic and ovarian cancers as well as leukemia and lymphoma.
