papaya leaf

Papaya is a plant. The leaves are used to make medicine.

 

Papaya is used for preventing and treating gastrointestinal tract disorders, intestinal parasite infections, and as a sedative and diuretic. It is also used for nerve pains (neuralgia) and elephantoid growths. Elephantoid growths are large swollen areas of the body that are symptoms of a rare disorder of the lymphatic system caused by parasitic worms.

 

Papaya contains a chemical called papain, which is commonly used as a meat tenderizer.
