Are you aware of the benefits of Sirsak | Soursop leaves?
SIRSAK
- Natures Offering of Help and
Hope
The
leaf of the Graviola tree set in resin for you to wear -
A potent symbol of Mother Natures
ability to provide for your every need.
The
fruit, leaves, roots, bark and stems of this plant (also known as sour-sop),
found in the ancient rain-forests of Indonesia and the Amazon have been used
for centuries by native medicine men to treat heart disease, asthma, liver
problems and arthritis.
Initial
clinical tests showed extracts from this plant to contain powerful agents that
:
- Act as broad
spectrum anti-microbials against bacterial and fungal infections, intestinal
parasites and worms
- Work to
lower high blood pressure and alleviate depression, stress and other nervous
disorders.
Further
tests conducted in 1976 by The National Cancer Institute of The United Sates
gave stunning results:
The
Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and
destroying malignant cells."
10,000
times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than commonly used
chemotherapy drugs, this trees natural medicine selectively destroys cancer
cells only, with no harmful side-effects for healthy cells.
The medicine
and message of the sirsak (as it is known in Indonesia, home of Nagicia) are
brought to light beautifully in the Kupu-Kupu & Bambu Laut collection.

Time to give thanks
In lieu of Sandy's destruction, we will be donating 15% of all sales made this month to http://www.redcross.org/sandy. Our thoughts go out to those in need.
My parents are still without power in their home. Fortunately they do have places to go to with power and internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really miss autumn, when all the leaves are ablaze, the air is crisp and clear, the sound for crackling leaves under the feet. Enjoy for us here living 3 degrees south of the equator.
