When you hear the word “soursop”, you can easily picture a fruit with a sweet and tangy taste that is a cross between the corresponding flavors of a pineapple and a strawberry. You don’t really imagine the medicinal herbs that your grandmother keeps in her wooden cabinet – the ones that you try to avoid as much as possible. Moreover, for the soursop, you don’t really need to pinch your nose just before you can drink up a glass of its juice extracts.
Despite the fact that the soursop has a pleasant taste, it is a powerful medicinal herb. In fact, it has managed to earn the reputation of being a means of preventing cancer. However, the leaves are the real lifesavers in a soursop (annona muricata). When boiled, the extracts of these leaves can do wonders. The tasty fruit also treats and heals, but in a more limited manner.
What conditions/illnesses can soursop treat?
The leaves of the soursop are known to treat several skin conditions, such as eczema and boils. Leaves may be boiled and mashed before being applied on the affected areas. A mix that includes extracts from soursop leaves will also help you get rid of lice. Just use the mixture as a shampoo. You may add aloe vera extracts or other fragrant oils to help you end up with clean and sweet-smelling hair.
The extracts from the soursop leaves may also be ingested, not just applied topically. When taken by mouth, the extracts can treat gout and back pain. Soursop can also inhibit cancer cells in this manner.
For those of you who are more eager to drink the fruit’s juices, you may be glad to know that even that could provide you with medicinal benefits. The fruit juice can act as a sedative, and can help treat conditions, such as diarrhea and diabetes.
How can you use soursop (annona muricata) to treat anal fissure?
So, how does soursop treat anal fissures? For you to use soursop (annona muricata) to treat anal fissure, you can drink its fruit juice. The fruit juice has an antimicrobial capability that helps prevent diarrhea and helps prevent infections. With diarrhea prevented, you don’t have to worry about further aggravating the anal tear. Also, preventing infections will speed up your healing process. You do not really want to leave your condition to chance. An anal fissure can provide much discomfort with its stinging, painful, and sometimes even bleeding symptoms.

Contraindications and effects on infants and pregnant women have not been properly investigated yet. Still, caution must be practiced as soursop has revealed some toxic neurological effects when given to lab rats in large amounts.
