Butterfly Pea Flower 🪻

Every Sunday I boil a big pot of RO water.

I turn it off- add soursop leaves and butterfly pea flower then let it cool completely.

I then pour it into mason jars and drink it throughout the entire week. Basically all day every day.

Here are the health benefits I have come to witness and understand about soursop and butterfly pea flower. I am very blessed to have both plants in my yard currently.

Soursop leaves contain naturally occurring compounds that have demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in early laboratory and animal research. Because inflammation is one of the processes involved in endometriosis, researchers are interested in whether these compounds could eventually contribute to new approaches to managing inflammatory conditions.

Researchers have reported that soursop extracts can kill or inhibit the growth of certain breast, prostate, liver, lung, pancreatic, and colon cancer cells in laboratory settings. These experiments help researchers identify compounds that may warrant further investigation.

Butterfly pea flower is an anti-inflammatory & contains anthocyanins and other plant compounds with antioxidant activity. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress, making this flower an appealing addition to a balanced wellness routine. 

When it comes to women’s health and cancer awareness, both plants have attracted scientific interest. Some laboratory studies suggest that compounds found in soursop may affect cancer cells. Butterfly pea flower is similarly being investigated for its biological properties, aiding in ovarian cancers primarily.. but it is not yet an established cancer treatment.
