Guava leaves are just as medicinally useful as the nutritional powerhouse fruit they grow with. The leaves of the guava tree are full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, antibacterials, and even tannins that can have significant health benefits, from treating stomach troubles to chronic diseases like cancer.

Obesity

While guava is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index, making it a useful supplement for weight loss, guava leaves may help. They do this by inhibiting complex starches from converting into sugars. Typically, the sugar is metabolized by the liver where it gets turned into fat, and then secreted into the blood. This is what contributes to weight gain.

Diabetes

The high fiber content in guava can help manage diabetes by slowing down sugar absorption in the blood. But guava leaf can prevent type 2 diabetes from developing.

High Cholesterol

Regularly taking guava leaf for months can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides without any side effects, according to the aforementioned 2010 study from Nutrition and Metabolism.

Gastric Cancer

Guava leaf extract is so potent that it has the potential to treat patients with gastric (stomach) cancer. Its anticancer and antitumor properties come from compounds, like lycopene, quercetin, and vitamin C, which work as antioxidants to neutralize free-radical damage in the body.

Prostate Cancer

Guava leaves’ high lycopene content is vital to fighting cancers, such as breast, prostate, and oral. Its cancer-fighting properties help inhibit the production of androgen, which is the male hormone responsible for the growth of cells in some types of prostate cancer, according to a 2012 study published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.
