10 Health Benefits of Soursop
Soursop Benefit #3: Antimicrobial
Besides fighting inflammation, soursop has antimicrobial properties. This means that a regular helping of soursop can help kill disease-causing organisms and thus reduce your chances of getting infections. Soursop is also a safer alternative for keeping infections at bay during dental treatment procedures such as root canals.
Ordinarily, during root canal treatment, dentists use chemicals like sodium hypochlorite to prevent infection. Unfortunately, such chemicals may have dangerous side effects. Studies conducted in the use of soursop extract to irrigate root canals found that this natural treatment agent has similar protective effects to conventional chemical treatments, but without the side effects.
