Traditionally the dark leaves are considered sedative and antispasmodic. They are used for headaches, insomnia, cystitis, liver problems, diabetes, hypertension and as an anti-inflammatory and antidysenteric (to prevent dysentery). A decoction of the leaves has parasiticide, antirheumatic and antineuralgic effects when used internally. The cooked leaves, applied topically, fight rheumatism and abscesses.

Constituents: Phytochemical studies reveal that annonaceous acetogenins are the major constituents of graviola. More than 100 annonaceous acetogenins have been isolated from the leaves, barks, seeds, roots and fruits of graviola. The leaves are also rich in secondary class metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins and lactones, anthraquinones, tannins, cardiac glycosides, phenols and phytosterols. The alkaloids (reticulin, coreximine, coclarine and anomurine) and essential oils (beta-caryophyllene, beta-cadinene, epi-beta-cadinol and beta-cadinol), mainly sesquiterpenes derivatives stand out. Phenolic compounds include quercetin and gallic acid.
