Soursop Leaf
Annona muricata · Corossol / Graviola
The Caribbean's most powerful immune and anti-tumor leaf
Soursop leaf is one of the most revered medicinal plants across the Caribbean. Used for generations in Saint-Martin, Guadeloupe, and Martinique, the leaf (not the fruit) carries the strongest therapeutic concentration. Modern research has confirmed its anti-proliferative, anti-parasitic, and immunostimulant properties — making it a cornerstone of Kenan's naturopathic protocols.

🌴 Caribbean traditional use
In Saint-Martin and across the French Antilles, soursop leaf tea ('tisane de corossol') has been drunk for generations to fight fever, calm nerves, and treat worm infestations in children. Grandmothers in Martinique pass down the tradition of steeping 3 leaves at night for sleep and 'cleansing the blood.'
