Graviola is a small evergreen tree found in the warmest parts of the tropics, especially the Amazon. Through the years, the indigenous people have used all parts of the graviola for medicinal purposes. Scientists began studying it in the 1940s and confirmed many of its uses as legitimate. A number of active compounds and phytochemicals have been isolated in graviola. Research has shown it to have hypotensive, antispasmodic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, but further study is needed.
Healthy Cell Growth and FunctionIn 1976 during a screening program by the NCI, graviola showed promise for fighting more serious conditions. Scientists isolated phytochemicals called Annonaceous acetogenins. Graviola produces these chemicals in the leaf, bark, and twig; they are documented to support healthy cell growth and function.
