Annona muricata

Soursop aka Graviola, awakens and activates every single cell in our body. This rainforest tree is deeply rooted and anchored in vitality, bringing light into dark and stagnant places. It is a true tonic and is revered for its high antioxidant, free-radical fighting capabilities.

Here are some ways Soursop is being used today:

• Promote healthy bladder and liver function

• Supply the body with Vitamin C and other crucial B vitamins and antioxidants 

• Activate and awaken the immune system 

• Detox and clear out stagnation in the lower digestive tract

• Support a calm and happy mood

There are many reviews and studies being done on the possibility of using Soursop as a chemopreventive agent. The Soursop plant produces molecules called acetogenins which are known to have a special affinity for resistant cancer cells. Lab studies continue to show promising results and are inspiring scientists to continue to dive into the secrets of Soursop to support and invigorate the immune system.

Soursop Detoxifies the Liver due to its Alkalinity

Soursop is considered one of the best alkalinity-producing foods. Most of the studies involving Soursop have focused on Annonaceous acetogenins, a naturally occurring compound produced in the leaves of Soursop. These compounds are a natural booster for immune function and detoxify the liver. Why is this important? 

The liver is responsible for breaking down most of the drugs and chemicals that enter the body, leaving it highly exposed to acute or chronic liver problems. Another common factor in the development of liver problems is cancer. Many forms of cancer metastasize in the liver. Therefore, the use of Soursop could prove to be invaluable.

Soursop in the Spotlight

At Kauai Farmacy we integrate Soursop into many of our tea blends. It has a sweet and deeply nourishing effect on the body. Many people have requested that we create a product that really spotlights Soursop and provides an easy and effective way to integrate it into their lives.

Soursop tincture is the newest product to come out of our jungle gardens. A tinctured form of Soursop is the foremost method of transport because the concentrated liquid allows for quick absorption. Tinctures also capture essential compounds that take time to extract from the plant that aren’t available in a cup of tea. Start with 10 drops, 1x a day with the option to work up to 20-30 drops per day.
