Harvested by Tsáchila tribes people
Our leaves have been carefully selected by a family of the Tsáchila tribe in Ecuador. In their reservation of almost 2000 hectares, they plant and cultivate the guanabana trees for their households consumption. They traditionally eat the fruit, and the leaves are believed to help in threatening different ailments.

 They believe the tea of the leaves when taken regularly can help regulating the sugar blood levels and diminish back pains. They also believe that the leaves could protect you from the disease associated with uric acid, such as gout. And when rub directly on the skin they could help threatening Eczema and Rheumatics.
Content
Research suggest that Guanabana leaves can be rich in several compounds including protein, calcium, fructose, fat, and vitamins A and B.
Soursop is widely promoted (sometimes as “graviola”) as an alternative cancer treatment. There is, however, no medical evidence that it is effective. Some studies have suggested that graviola leaves could help in anti aging treatments and could controle the bad cholesterol.
