Dunno. There's a papain ointment.

This article is about papaya leaf and not fruit and I don't know what are the respective benefits.

Thanks. Of interest to me and especially my wife, who is from the Asian world.

Be sure to tell her they stole papaya from the South Americans. ;-)

I have a papaya tree. Maybe it would be better if I smoke the leaves.

Is that the actual size of the bottle. LOL!!!

[decimon]

Thanks.

A quick search reveals there may be side effects like hypoglycemia. Caveat emptor.

They could always ask John McCain to sponsor a bill ensuring extensive FDA regulation of the papaya, including banning all homegrown papaya due to, oh, I don't know, say, a fabricated global salmonella outbreak.

Don't know about Graviola but I yesterday saw that there is a Paw Paw tree that is not the Paw Paw tree that is papaya.
