Local harvest soursop leaves (graviola, annona muricata,) from South Florida Organic Farms. (NOT LOW QUALITY IMPORT)
Each Package contains 15 grams of leaves, sun dried in the Florida Sun and the leaves can be reused.
 
 
The therapuetic dosage of graviola leaf, is reported to be 2-3 grams taken 3 or 4 times daily.  As one of graviola’s mechanisms of action is to deplete ATP energy to cancerouss cells, combining it with other supplements and natural products which increase or enhance cellular ATP may reduce the effect of graviola. The main supplement which increases ATP is a common antioxidant called Coenzyme Q10 and for this reason, it should be avoided when taking graviola.

ABSTRACT 
In the present review, an attempt has been made to 
congregate the traditional, phytochemical and pharm
acological studies done on an important 
medicinal plant 
Annona muricata, 
(Family annonaceae). Cyclo hexapeptides, acetogenin
s, annonaceous acetogenins were the major phytochem
ical 
compounds studied from this medicinal plant. The fr
uit is of economic value and hence cultivated and u
sed widely as an edible food. The plant 
possess  the  major  pharmacological  activities  includ
es  cytotoxic,  antileishmanial,  wound  healing,  anti-
microbial  activity.  It  also  has  the  anti-
carcinogenic and genotoxic effect. Phytochemical an
alysis of the plant revealed the presence of tannin
s, steroids and cardiac glycosides which are 
the major phytochemical compounds. The pulp obtaine
d from the plant shows the thermal diffusivity prop
erty. This review encompasses the 
potential application of the above plant in the pha
rmaceutical field due to its wide pharmacological a
ctivities. As the fruit of this plant is highly 
nutritious this paves the ways to work in future on
 its potential to serve as an edible vaccine. 
Keywords:

INTRODUCTION 
All over the world the herbal medicine acts as the 
representative of 
the most important fields of traditional medicine. 
The study on the 
medicinal  plants is  essential to  promote  the  proper
  use of herbal 
medicine in order to determine their potential as a
 source for the

. Medicinal plants have been used for the treatment
 of 
illness since before recorded history. The sacred Ve
das dating back 
between  3500  B.C  and  800  B.C  gives  many  references 
of  the 
utilization of the  medicinal  plants. “
Virikshayurveda

remotest  works  in  the  traditional  herbal  medicine  w
hich  was 
compiled even before the beginning of Christian era
. “
Rig Veda
” is 
one of the oldest literatures which was written aro
und 2000 B.C. and 
mentions  the  use  of  Cinnamon  (
Cinnamomum  verum
),  Ginger 
(
Zingiber officinale
), Sandalwood (
Santalum album
) etc was used not 
only  in  the  religious  ceremonies  but  also  in  the  me
dical 
preparations
