How to Make the Perfect Soursop Tea

Several universities worldwide have found strong evidence for the healing and health-promoting properties of the soursop tree, the most potent of which are found in its leaves

But how can you take full advantage of these features? We delved into the best ways to prepare soursop tea by looking at the most promising recipes and methods.

In the process, we listened to the stories and recommendations of South American residents and tested various methods ourselves.

The result of our efforts is shown below in two methods that came out best in the test.

Important considerations before drinking soursop tea

It is important to note that soursop tea is not suitable for certain groups of people. Thus, it is not recommended for:

• Pregnant women
• Breastfeeding women
• People with liver or kidney problems
• People with low blood pressure

In fact, drinking soursop tea may affect these specific health conditions.

If you drink soursop tea for the purpose of curing an illness, it is a very wise idea to consult with a doctor about it first.

Although soursop tea has many health benefits, it is important to be sure that its use is safe and responsible for your particular health condition.

In addition, it is recommended that you choose wild or organic soursop leaves. This assures you of the highest quality soursop tea. This is because non-organic or farmed leaves have often been treated with pesticides, which can be found in your tea.

Therefore, make sure the leaves you use are organic or wild to avoid unpleasant side effects and achieve the optimal health effects.

Graviola Shop’s soursop leaves are 100% pesticide free, considering they come directly from the wild nature of Suriname.

The 30-day soursop tea protocol

If you want to experience the maximum effects of soursop tea, follow these steps for best results:

1. Drink a cup of soursop tea three times a day, ideally 30 minutes before each meal. This helps in the optimal absorption of the tea.
   
2. Drink the soursop tea every day for 30 consecutive days.
   
3. We do not recommend preparing the tea more than a day in advance, as the potency decreases after 7-8 hours.
   
4. If your symptoms disappear before the 30 days are up, it is important to complete the entire course of treatment.
   
5. After the 30 days, have yourself checked by a doctor to see if improvement can be seen.
   
6. If the results prove favorable, continue drinking soursop tea, perhaps to a slightly less strict regimen (for example, 1-2 cups per day).
   
7. Notice no difference after 30 days? Then it may not have sufficient effect. Consider quitting.
