Greetings to the whole community of farms, after so many months without publishing I have returned to this wonderful platform. I hope everyone is well and that this week is full of blessings for all. I tell you a little about myself: I am a housewife, a lover of agriculture, I have a small field, a wonderful place where I take advantage of all the benefits of nature to produce, cultivate and harvest many fruits, which I consume at home and I feed my family.

Today I will talk about a fruit that contains excellent medicinal properties that promote our health, I will talk about: The Guanabana or Graviola.

This fruit that has a delicious taste between sweet and acid, and is very used I have consumed a lot, I can attest that it is excellent, I tell you that 8 years ago I suffered a nervous crisis, I had medication for several months however a My friend told me how beneficial it was for the central nervous system to take tea from the soursop leaf, this helped me replace the drugs I was taking for a natural option, every night for 2 months I prepared a tea with 2 soursop leaves, I sweetened it and I took it warm, this relaxed me and eliminated my nerves and the depression that I felt at that moment, works as an antidepressant. They also say that it helps fight cancer if you need chemotherapy.

Irrigation

The soursop tree is tolerant to drought, since it has been found with fruits in places with a marked dry season. However, when it is prolonged, it is advisable to apply abundant watering before flowering, during and later during the period in which it begins to fructify until harvest.

The irrigation can be done by gravity, in furrows and the most convenient is to apply it once and twice a week, according to the dryness of the climate.
