Graviola / Soursop Oil (Annona Muricata)<br />
Soursop is the fruit of the evergreen tree, Annona muricata; native to the tropical regions of<br />
South America and Africa. The fruit is most popular for its anti-cancer effects, although, it is very<br />
effective against many other health problems. The oil is replete with antioxidants. These<br />
antioxidants, especially vitamins C and E, zinc, and beta-carotene, have been found to<br />
decrease the risk of eye disease. The antioxidants also reduce oxidative stress, which can<br />
otherwise cause cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. The oil can treat a wide<br />
range of infections, both bacterial and fungal infections, as well as internal parasitic worms. As<br />
per a report by the University of Connecticut, soursop can be used extensively for the treatment<br />
of stress and other issues like depression as it reduces high blood pressure. Moreover, the oil is<br />
widely used to enhance immunity. Soursop is also rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that<br />
strengthens and boosts the immune system and beta-Carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, that<br />
also contributes to an enhanced immune system.<br />

and vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, niacin (B3) and super-rich in vitamin C, which are good antioxidants<br />
and detoxifiers. Guava Seed oil has an impressive content of linoleic fatty acid. Pink guavas<br />

diseases. They're the most consistently rewarding nuts, important nutrition source in a wellbalance<br />

and minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and potassium. Hazelnut oil is the best-known sources of<br />
vitamin E, important in maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails. The B vitamins are important in<br />

development of the body. However, hazelnuts are also a good source of oleic acid. Oleic acid<br />
can help to lower levels of bad cholesterol, LDL, and can raise levels of good cholesterol, HDL,<br />
in the body. There were various researchers found that those who consumed hazelnuts twice or<br />
more in a week had an approx. 50 percent lower risk of sudden cardiac death than those who<br />
rarely or never consumed hazelnuts.<br />
