    The constituents of Graviola are extremely varied and have an anti-inflammatory so as anti-microbial effect. Therefore, it is more interesting in the research and some studies that have been performed already.

Origin of Graviola
    The barbed Annonaceae tree originally came from the tropical rain forest and was based in the Caribbean and South America. Meanwhile the Graviola is however in almost every tropical rain forest tree. The Graviola shrub likes the location of lowland forests with semi-dry and arid climate.

    It does not tolerate soil with poor oxygen. Also, dry or saline soils are not their preferred location. All Annone plants are plants that are Woody but have very aromatic smelling bark, leaves and flowers. Here, but not all plants provide fruits, such as, for example, the Soursop.

    It belongs to the genus of Magnolia-like plants and the botanical name is Annona muricata. The tree can reach a height of about eight to ten meters when it's
not sophisticated. Still, the tree is an Evergreen plant.

    The Crown of the Graviola tree has very little branching. However, the foliage is dense and the leaves are similar to those of the Laurel. The flower of the Soursop is yellow-green and has very aromatic smell. However, many people do not like this fragrance and feel it rather distracting and unpleasant.

    Some even say that the flowers smell of carrion, which is but quite good, because as the flies are attracted to pollinate the flowers.

    The Graviola fruit is botanically a large berry. However, a very large because it can be more than 20 cm long. The weight is handsome and with one to four kilograms and it can be extremely difficult while the pericarp is with soft spines.

    Especially, when the fruit is ripe, it is very sensitive to pressure. The flesh is white, juicy and very soft. The black seeds which are in the flesh are toxic and must be removed before eating the fruit.

Harvest of Graviola
    The harvest takes place between January and March. It is important that the fruits are not yet ripe as they could burst due to their high weight when it falls and will therefore become useless.

    The Graviola spoils quickly and can not be stored. The harvest is only in a very small time window because the fruit must be almost ready. This has become more of art than science as the farmers know exactly when the time is right.

Barbed Annonaceae are usually available as frozen fruit pulp
    In North America and Brazil, however, there are also mixing juices which consist of different fruit varieties. Also Graviola is also processed into ice cream, pudding or jam or for cooking, baking and frying.

    You an take the advantage of not only the fruit itself but use the bark, roots, leaves and seeds. These serve as natural cure and help especially for fungal and bacterial infections.

    The Graviola, above all the leaves of the plant, also have a promising effects against cancer. The included Acetogenin in the leaves is much more effective than the artificially produced and toxic Adriamizine which is used in chemotherapy.

    There are lots of studies you should follow to really say more about it. It has already been proven in laboratory tests that the extracts could kill breast cancer cells through the change of metabolism caused by the constituents of Graviola.

    This affects a cell formation and on the other hand, the enzyme activity. This spurred the researchers to know that the plant would be a possible alternative to treating cancer.

Study on Graviola
    Scientists have discovered much health benefits of Graviola through the Graviola cultivation in the northern industrialized nations and there have been numerous experiments carried out. There are trials on cancer or tumor-inhibiting properties with Graviola test because quickly it became clear that the constituents of Graviola have significant effects on cell growth.

    In 1976, there was an Institute in the United States that found out that, the constituents of Graviola can have effects on the cancer cells. At this time, there was still no studies. Only in 1997, a study was carried out in Purdue University, USA; where it was noted that the Soursop is very effective against cancer.

    Graviola can have positive impact, in particular, if it is tumor cells, which have resistant against anti-tumor drugs and can spread faster. Therefore, scientists are hopeful that the Soursop is an alternative to combat cancer cells.

    Researchers are working now on using Graviola to treat tumors with high pressure, whether it is possible to treat tumours that are resistant to the drug after chemotherapy with Graviola. To do so, still individual agents must be isolated so the Soursop can specifically take up the fight against cancer and influence uncontrolled cell growth.

    In another study in the year 2013, it could also be shown that, cooking Viola can be helpful in many types of cancer. However, these studies were carried out only in the laboratory and the test on humans is currently pending. However, it's still surprise that the pharmaceutical industry had not developed much interest in exploring Graviola.

    Also, an article from the German economic news, published in the year 2013 clearly shows that, although the Graviola effect in cancer has been detected, further investigation has failed Thus, cancer patients have to still wait and hope that soon,  more research would be carried out.

    Even in 2016, a study was published which showed the good effects of Graviola on breast cancer. This study was also tested on mice and gives hope that maybe, if human studies are carried out on this, breast cancer and other types of cancer could be defeated with the help of Viola; I mean the cooked one.
