SOURSOP JUICE

E the suorsop tree

1. The soursop tree is an evergreen flowering tree of the genus Annona and the
family, Annonaceae. It is also known by the name of Graviola. The scientific name
of soursop is Annonamuricata, and it is native to the regions of Mexico, Central
America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Today, it is grown in some
other parts of the world, especially in Southeast Asia.

2. The soursop tree is known for its delicious fruits. The fruit is large with a thin,
greencolored skin covered with conical nibs. The pulp is white and soft, and quite
delicious. It has both sweet and sour taste. The fruit can be eaten directly, or its
pulp can be pressed and strained to extract the juice, which is not only delectable,
but also rich in many essential nutrients.

3. The flesh or pulp of the fruit, from which the juice is extracted, is very rich in
fiber, carbohydrates, and other nutrients, like vitamin B1 and B2, vitamin C, and
potassium. On the other hand, it is quite low in saturated fats and sodium. About 1
cup of undiluted juice or nectar contains 160 calories.

4. The soursop tree is mainly known for its medicinal properties. Certain
compounds found in the extracts derived from the fruits, seeds, bark, and the
leaves of the soursop tree have been observed to be effective in destroying
cancerous cells in some laboratory studies. The leaves of this tree have been found
to be particularly effective in killing cancer cells without harming the healthy cells
of the body. Moreover, the extract derived from the leaves does not affect the
immune system adversely, unlike the chemotherapy drugs.

5. Apart from the ability to kill cancer cells, the soursop tree has several other
health benefits. The seeds of this fruit can be used for inducing vomiting, while the
juice can be immensely beneficial for treating urethritis. It can also help treat
hematuria which is a condition characterized by the presence of blood in urine.
Soursop juice can help alleviate liver ailments as well. The juice is usually taken
while fasting in order to cure liver problems. It may also prove beneficial in
conditions like leprosy.

6. The various parts of the tree, including its leaves and the young shoots have
been used for conditions, like cough, catarrh, fever, gallbladder problems,
inflammation and swelling, diarrhea, indigestion, rheumatism, dysentery, eczema,
and some other skin problems. The pulp of the fruit, as well as the crushed leaves
of the tree, can be used as a poultice to ensure fast healing of wounds.
B

7. To sum up, soursop is not only a delicious, but also a very nutritious fruit.
However, it is imperative to talk to a physician before considering to use it for
medicinal purposes. If taken in large dosage, it can induce vomiting and depress
the cardiovascular system. It can also induce uterine contractions, for which
pregnant women should not use this fruit for medicinal purposes. All these possible
side effects need to be considered before using this fruit, or any other part of the
tree for the treatment of cancer and other ailments.
