The graviola, a tree growing in the Amazon River basin, has shown great promise as a cancer treatment, as its extracts are extremely effective at finding and killing cancer cells up to 10,000 better than regular chemotherapy. As well, its bark, fruit, and leaves are used as antidepressants, painkillers, antiparasitics, antifungals, and a host of other uses. Research, however, is very slow due to the fact that drug companies cannot patent natural products.

Native to Morocco, this “miracle fruit” is said to treat skin conditions from eczema to aging. Just ask the women who cultivate it: Argan oil, a luxury item, is hand-extracted at women’s co-operatives where female farmers are encouraged to work half-days in order to take care of their families.

Mornings in the field after nights with the kids giving you frown lines? No problem: Aveda Green Science Firming Face Cream ($55), Kiehl’s new Superbly Restorative Body Lotion ($35), and Babor Argan Cream ($70) are all rich with “liquid gold.”
