Effects of Boiled Guyabano Leaves Tea Health Benefits

Thanks for stopping by Mavic. Guyabano has fewer side effects than the drugs that are used for chemo as well.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for sharing that recommendation. Fortunately, I have access to the fresh fruit and am able to make my own juice using that. I will keep Markizza in mind.

Yes, it is quite effective in fighting cancer.

Thanks for stopping by Kevin.

Yes it is. Quite delicious.

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for sharing your experience with the benefits of guyabano leaves for blood pressure.

Hi,

Personally, I usually drink the tea fresh. I would not recommend that you keep in in the refrigerator for too long. I wouldn't keep it in the fridge beyond two days.

Hi Lourdes,

I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I wish you all the best in the fight. Don't sweeten the tea. Just have her drink it as it, without milk or any other additives.

All the best for the future,

Jtrader

Hi Rebecca,

It's good to hear of your positive experience with using guyabano to help treat cancer. All the best.

That's good news Linus. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cris,

The research done on Guyabano to date has focused on its effect on cancer cells. Who knows what effect it can have on heart disease?

Research shows that vegetable protein can help to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Hi Elizabeth,

Some doctors advise that people who have movement disorders should be careful with using Guyabano. Since you have muscle spasms, I would not recommend that you start drinking the tea without your doctor's supervision.

When making a pot of tea for use as an herbal supplement with cancer, add 15 dried Guyabano leaves to every liter of hot water. Drink one cup three times a day.

If a person feels hungry after having a cup of guyabano tea, it is usually recommended that they wait about half an hour before eating.

Hi Victoria,

Thanks for sharing your experience with drinking Guyabano leaves tea.

Hi Myrna,

It is my understanding that Omprazole actually helps people who are on chemotherapy and are using guyabano leaves tea or juice to help kill cancer cells. This is because Omprazole helps to prevent injury to gastroduodenal mucosa.

Remember that guyabano juice is not a substitute for the cancer treatment that your doctor may have prescribed. If you are on chemo and are using guyabano, Omprazole can help to reduce some of chemo's side effects.

Sodium bicarbonate and guyabano are both alkaline. Sodium bicarbonate helps to reduce acid and there is some evidence that it can help to kill cancer cells. Dr. Tullio Simoncini in Italy has done research on this and has managed to eliminate tumors with the help of sodium bicarbonate.

Please discuss this further with your doctor. Best wishes for your health.

Your doctor would have to determine the underlying cause of the heavy bleeding. It would not be good for you to start drinking guyabano leaves tea or using any other herbal remedy, without finding out what was causing the heavy bleeding.

You haven't made it clear if it's heavy menstrual bleeding or rectal bleeding associated with the constipation.

There are herbal remedies which help with heavy bleeding that is due to fibroids, for example echinacea. However, you need to know why you are bleeding so heavily. Sometimes heavy bleeding during menstruation is caused by anemia.

Eating guyabano fruit can help to prevent constipation, since it's a fruit and is high in fiber. However, it is not used as often as a treatment for constipation.

Hi Jane,

Metformin has a lot of benefits for you. It helps to reduce the amount of insulin that you have to take. It also helps you to lose weight - a plus if you have diabetes.

The drop in your FBS shows that the medication is working. Do not stop taking Metformin without speaking to your doctor. It really helps with keeping your blood sugar low.

According to the Department Of Science and Technology in the Philippines, guyabano has a similar effect to Metformin. You don't want your blood sugar to drop too low because you are taking both. If you wish to take the tea along with Metformin, start with a low dosage of 5 dried Guyabano leaves to every liter of hot water. Drink one cup three times a day.

If you have access to Moringa (Malunggay) you can use that with the Guyabano leaves as well.

Hi Mavic,

Thanks for your question. Could you restate it in English.

Hi Mae,

When you are making a pot of tea for use as an herbal supplement with cancer, add 15 dried Guyabano leaves to the equivalent of 4 eight ounce glasses of hot water. Drink one glass three times a day.

Take care

Hi Emma,

Guyabano is not known to interfere with electrical impulses within the body. As such, the bradycardia shouldn't be made worse by the tea.

It is worthy of note that some people drink guyabano to expand the blood vessels.

Hi Avon,

Sorry to hear about your mom.

To make the tea, use 15 dried Guyabano leaves to every liter of hot water. Also speak with your doctor about your maintaining your ideal weight and other factors that will reduce your risk of developing breast cancer.

God bless

Hi Eric,

Guyabano is a powerful medicinal herb. I wouldn't drink it every day in place of coffee. With most medicinal plants, you try not to use them every single day, unless it's a case where you have had cancer, for example and it is in remission and you want it to stay in remission.

Many people who drink herbal teas tend to rotate them. So, for example, if you have problems with nausea and drink ginger tea for 2 weeks, you would switch to mint tea for the following two weeks.

Some people prefer the dried leaves- they think it is better to make herbal tea with dried leaves than green leaves. By all means, use your dried leaves.

People who are using ground dried leaves should keep in mind that when compared by weight or even teaspoon for teaspoon, a teaspoon of ground dried leaves will be stronger than a teaspoon of green leaves.

Hi MannyC,

I am glad that your BP and sugar are now normal. According to the Department Of Science and Technology in the Philippines, guyabano has a similar effect to Metformin. You don't want your blood sugar to drop too low because you are taking both.

You can cut back on your consumption of guyabano tea. Drop it to every other day and make a note of your BP and sugar with that. Take a copy of those records when you go to see your doctor and let them know of the supplements that you are using.

The aim is not to take guyabano every day. People who take it every day usually do so to help in their fight against cancer, so they only do so until the cancer goes into remission. After that they adjust how often they take it.

You can also consider alternating guyabano with other herbs that are known to reduce blood sugar levels, such as bitter melon (Jamaican cerasee).

Metformin can gradually irritate the intestinal wall. Talk to your doctor about steps you can take to help keep the lining of your intestines healthy.

Hi Manny,

I don't think you should have stopped the other medication cold turkey. I would recommend that you talk to your doctor about other ways you can adjust your dosage.

No, you shouldn't be taken guyabano tea for years straight without a break. I do not recommend that you use any herbal remedy for such a long period like that. Consider taking a break every three months and using bitter melon instead.

Hi Marylee,

Are you diabetic? What reason did your doctor suggest for the elevated creatinine levels? Do you have kidney damage because of diabetes?

Hi Leung,

Best wishes for your father. Herbal supplements like guyabano and Jamaican guinea hen weed should help his body to fight the cancer.

My prayers are with you.

Hi Clyde,

Guyabano contains Beta-sitosterol, which increases the number of white blood cells in your body. Those cells help to fight the bacteria in tuberculosis.

Hi Kilay,

Some people use guyabano to help regulate menstruation. There is not a lot of research on that aspect of it yet.

Yes it is.

Hi Jumar,

Add 15 dried Guyabano leaves to every liter of hot water. Drink one cup three times a day.

Hi Selina,

Dried leaves are better than green leaves. That's better for the liver. The teabags usually contain dry leaves so they would be the same as drinking leaves you dried yourself. Stick to the regimen that has already been working for you in terms of drinking the tea several days after receiving chemo.

God bless

It is better to used dried guyabano leaves. Why are you using guava leaves- for pain?

Yes, you can.

There isn't as much research to show it helps with UTI. Speak to your doctor about using probiotics to help reduce the occurrence of UTIs.

Rose Ann,

Sambong leaves help many people with UTI. Learn more about that here: https://hubpages.com/health/Benefits-of-Sambong-Te...

Hi Selina,

Both are Annona. Soursop or prickly custard apple is annona muricata. Sweetsop is annona squamosa. There has not been as much research done on the benefits of annona squamosa for cancer. Can you buy the soursop online in HK?

Glad to hear that Selina.

Hi Bang,

Take the full course of antibiotics as directed by your doctor.

Hi Amelia,

Yes, they will still help. However, it is usually healthier to dry herbs before using them in teas.

Thanks for sharing your experience Dave.

You should see your doctor. Yes, guyabano leaves can help you.

Research has not been done on its effect on thyroid conditions. Please talk to your doctor about treatment.

All the best Yssa

Thanks for sharing your experience with using guyabano leaves for coughing Annie.

Hi Ann,

Blood in your stool is serious and you should see your doctor about it immediately.

Guyabano does not hinder some types of medication. While at your doctor, speak to them about the type you are taking and which herbal supplements may be safely used.

God bless

Hi Alyssa,

Please talk to your doctor about the best way to use both.

Hi estella secuya,

There is not a lot of research on Guyabano's effectiveness for ovarian cysts.

Hi Joven,

Guyabano helps with inflammation generally. Let us know what you experience with guyabano tea for tendonitis.

Hi Joven,

Guyabano dried leaves are better.

Not to my knowledge.

Thanks for sharing your experience Mary.

It may help totnak02. Speak to your doctor about including it.

Hi Maria,

It has a relaxing smell as well.
