I like to add, one proven healing properties of GUAVA TEA is the control of Blood Sugar (Diabetis). I gave a box of Guava Tea to one of our workers because her son is an inborn diabetic wherein the child have to be injected twice a month. But after 10 days of drinking the Guava Tea and the time came for another injection, I was told by the mother that the doctor was really surprised that her son didn’t need the injection after all because all of a sudden the child’s blood sugar was now normal.
And just last week, my brother told me that our worker used the Guava Tea leaves and applied it to her son’s wound, and believe it or not, her son’s wound was healed.
I bought the tea in one of my trips abroad and I am now looking into selling them in the Philippines. But I need more proof to be able to prove to the market that it really works.
There are a lot of Guava tea in the market today. But we are not sure if their kind of tea leaves and processing technique is good enough to have the same properties as what I had bought.
For your reference, I can give you the name of the attending physician (doctor) of the child and you can ask directly more info about it. Just email me at martini_con@yahoo.com
