Papaya is a delicious tropical fruit native to northern Mexico, which is also called the “orange sun”. The tree on which it grows is called a “melon” or “bread” tree.
This is a low (up to ten meters) palm tree with a thin trunk without branches. Its top is adorned with a “hat” of huge cut leaves. The period from planting a seed to the first harvest is only a year and a half. In addition, it is very unpretentious and bears fruit all year round.
Ripe fruits are an excellent low-calorie, easily digestible food. Due to its composition, papaya helps in the treatment of duodenal ulcers, heartburn, colitis, bronchial asthma, liver diseases, and improves digestion. Papaya is also recommended for people with diabetes – its juice helps normalize sugar.
Papaya juice is used for medicinal purposes, in treating vertebral hernias. It is also an effective anthelmintic. Externally, it is used to relieve pain from skin injuries and burns, to treat eczema and insect bites.
In cosmetology, papaya juice has also shown its effectiveness. It is often found in creams for depilation, lightening freckles, even skin tone and relief products.
The papain enzyme breaks down protein, which is why it is used to break down the fibrin cancer cell wall. It makes the cancer cell more vulnerable to treatment such as chemotherapy. If the cancer wall is broken down, the immune system can start actively fighting it.
This is why several published research studies mention papaya as a cancer remedy. Its properties work against different kinds of cancer cells. They all have a common denominator of a protective cell wall made of fibrin. Moreover, papaya does not have any negative effects on normal human cells.
