Introduction
Soursop leaf tea, also called graviola or guanabana leaf tea, is a traditional herbal infusion prepared from the leaves of the soursop tree (Annona muricata). It has become popular online as a natural wellness drink, but many claims about its ability to cure cancer, eliminate cancer cells, treat diabetes, improve circulation, or reduce swollen feet are not supported by clinical evidence. Laboratory and animal research has investigated compounds in graviola, but human studies are lacking.
This recipe presents the traditional preparation as a simple herbal tea—not as a treatment for any medical condition.
