A selection of medicinal herbs - papaya (carica papaya) - a superb remedy 2Although a certain German pharmaceutical company mentions the use of only ripe papaya in their product, the real medicinal effect is not obtained from ripe fruits. The curative properties, especially papain, are found in the unripe fruit, the seeds and leaves. Papain can be obtained by scratching the skin of unripe fruits. Immediately, a white juice oozes from the incision, similar to latex in a rubber tree. Left to dry, this milky juice becomes a yellowish rubbery substance - raw papain. This is an excellent remedy, employed to deal with two specific problems. First of all, it kills - or rather, digests - all intestinal parasites that usually settle in the large and small intestines. So if you eat a piece of papaya leaf after every meal, as I used to do, you will not be plagued by troublesome worms. You can also chew and swallow a teaspoonful of the black seeds for the same purpose. This simple preventative measure, if taken regularly, will keep you free from infections too. *734/28/1* Herbal «Viagra no Prescription» |
