Papaya is a plant.

It is a fruit whose leaves are folk 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 often used as a meat tenderizer..

Papain breaks down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

That’s why it works as a meat tenderizer.

Papain is changed by digestive juices, so whether it may not be effective as a medicine when taken by mouth.

Papaya also contains a another chemical, carpain.
