Herbs have tremendous impact on health care. 

Whether you add them to your food as spices or add them to your tea and juices, herbal products provide the body with tremendous health benefits.

One herb with tremendous benefits in wellness is soursop fruits. Belonging to the Annonaceae family (custard apple family), Soursop’s flavour is a cross between mango and pineapple. 

Not as popular as green or chamomile teas, the amazing health benefits of soursop fruit makes it a worthy addition to every diet. Here’s all you need to know about the excellent benefits of Soursop in health care. 

• It Boosts Your Immune Health 

The most sought-after benefit of Soursop is its ability to build and improve immune systems. A great source of vitamin C, Soursop helps the body fight pathogens, protecting the skin from oxidisation damage. Soursop fruit is also a great source of Phytosterols, which helps reduce blood cholesterol levels; tannins, a source of antimicrobial effects and Flavonoids, which help regulate cellular activity and fight against free radicals. 

Drinking soursop tea acts as a preventative measure, defending the body against viruses and bacteria. 

• Fight Inflammation 

Free radicals in the body are not only a cause of illness; they are also a cause of stress and inflammation. The antioxidants contained in soursop fruits help with immune health and the treatment of inflammations and stress conditions, including

• Asthma
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Alzheimer’ disease
• Arthritis 

By drinking soursop tea, you would enjoy relief from tensions and spasms caused by inflammation. 

• Improve Digestive Health

Soursop helps improve constipation by slowing down digestion while also maintaining blood sugar levels. It has also proven to be a great preventive treatment for heart disease by lowering high cholesterol levels.  

Soursop fruits’ antiviral and anti-parasitic properties prevent intestinal worms and parasites that infiltrate the GI tract. The fruit’s juice acts as a diuretic, cleansing the gastrointestinal tract and removing excess sodium that often causes bloating. 

• Stabilises Your Blood Pressure

With high levels of potassium and iron, soursop fruits help lower blood pressure levels. Potassium promotes blood circulation, while iron helps in the regulation of heartbeat and tension. 

Consider adding Soursop to your diet to enjoy the health benefits of these plants in wellness fully. Remember to always check with your doctor before adding or removing new foods from your diet to ensure it does not leave adverse reactions or mess up your medications.
