I've decided to post soursop leaf tea recipe tonight since this is the time it is most beneficial. You see soursop leaf tea is a natural soporific so for those of you who have trouble sleeping this is a wonderful tea to make. But the medicinal uses of the soursop leaves does not stop there. The leaves also kills head lice and bedbugs. It is used as an analgesic (painkiller) and antispasmodic (supresses spasms) and in a number of ailments ranging from cough, fevers, indigestion and most of all cancer.
Soursop leaf Tea and Cancer
In my recent research online I came across some stunning evidence that soursop was effective against a range of cancer which included colon, breast, lung, prostate and pancreatic cancer. It was so effective against colon cancer that a certain chemical from the soursop had the ability to selectively kill colon cancer cells at almost ten thousand times that of Adriamycin, a common drug used as a part of chemotherapy. Wow, that is some strong stuff!
Soursop Is A Real Wonder
Further reading showed that soursop was a real wonder because of how it targeted only cancer cells and left healthy cells intact, unlike chemotherapy which destroyed healthy cells as well in its process and also had serious side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss and weight loss. The article on cancer is a great read for anyone seeking a more natural approach to healing cancer. This though, comes with a disclaimer attached and it must be stressed that before attempting any alternative treatments that you consult your oncologist or health care provider.
Look at that! Right here right in my backyard I have this tree growing and I never paid attention to it; only when it bears fruit. This is one tree I have to learn more about because it has many medicinal uses that could save you from a trip or trips to the doctor. Just think about it. Would you prefer to spend $400. for a doctor's visit plus an additional $200. to buy tablets or just boil some soursop leaf tea for your ailment? I know what I would do…..Yawn!! Sleep is here and (No, I did not drink any soursop leaf tea ) I have to go before I …strt… to… tipe ……………stup………………pid…………………..sllll . Here's soursop leaf tea.

I’m wondering if it’s fine to use leaves that turned brown? The leaves are very hard to get in Singapore. A malaysian friend gave some to me but alot had turned brown
You can buy the fruit, eat it and save the seeds. Wash them and plant them in pots, say two seeds per small pot until they are about 4 inches high. Then transplant in slightly bigger pots, one plant per pot. If you have limited balcony space just keep a few pots, and give away the others. I currently have 8 trees growing in pots on my roof terrace, and have grown many more and given to friends. It is satisfying to see them grow. When bigger you can trim our the top bud which will give a bushier tree, with more leaves. When a couple of feet high or more you can trim out a few leaves. I always wash them first then dry them. Crunch them up a bit and use them like tea leaves. However, fresh leaves can also be used. I collect several leaves, wash them and dry them with kitchen roll and store in ziplock plastic bag in the fridge, ready for use.
I was diagnosed with the c word i cant even bring myself to even say it. i want to try the soursop leaves but i cant find any here where i live would you like to help save a life. desperate
Unfortunately I have no means of sending the leaves from my country. They will have to be dried first then packaged then shipped with proper labeling.
Yes of course. It is not a problem. Now that it is dried you can store it for a longer time and enjoy more bay leaf tea 🙂
I am a cancer survivor and I also drink soursop leaves tea. I also find it hard to sleep and had been on medication for a loooooong time. Now, all I need is just this tea and by 9pm, I am already in bed. I also try to eat the fruit as much as I can. I posted the Triad Ritual for Cancer, which included the guyabano.
See Victoria’s Box ( Facebook ) for my shared postings.
Hi. Where can i possibly buy the guyabano leaves? Ive been sick since december last year and im still struggling til now. I cant sleep coz the moment i try, i just keep coughing. Ive been seeing doctors and specialists but im still not cured. I badly need help.. 🙁

2.Cut the leave

Hi Mary,
I am sorry to hear of your illness. It must be distressing to not find the leaves. I feel obliged to help somehow. I can get my hands on some soursop leaves. However, it would have to be dried before I ship it out to you. Customs will not allow green leaves out of the country. I hope dried is fine for you. Please, email me your address at . I will tell you when they have been sent. This is of no charge.
I could desperately use some as well. I will pay if I have too!!
Thank u for the great article. I think Guyabano leaf tea is best as is & without any sugar & milk. Esp for those trying to avoid or are already at any cancer stage, cancer cells thrive on sugar & anything dairy. So best one avoids those two. That’s all, but thank you again!
Do we need to dry the leaves before boiling?
No you don’t.
Where can I get a tree guanabana or a reliable source for the leaves?
