Papaya Leaves

Updated: Jun 13, 2018

Scientific name: Carica Papaya

Many people are aware of the strong digestive enzymes in the fruit of the #papaya. Much less well known are the intense digestive enzymes contained in papaya leaves. #Acetogenins found in papaya leaves have been shown to have dramatic biological activity against worms, parasites, some viruses, fungi and cancer cell lines. Therapeutic effects of papaya leaves include digestion of potentially toxic waste, killing off H. pylori bacteria, and breaking down protein and carbohydrates to sooth the GI tract and bowels. The digestion and elimination of potentially toxic wastes are essential in maintaining good overall health.
