Health benefits of papaya leaf tea

Good teas, made from young leaves, are more expensive but also more concentrated and come from biological plantations.

The leaves are richer in protein with approximately 15 times more than the ripe fruit.

For pleasant-tasting infusion to aid digestion, use 1 to 2 teaspoon of dried, powdered leaves per cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes, then strain. Drink during or after meals, especially those high in protein.

In herbal medicine, papaya leaves are infused as a tea for malaria and dengue fever.

The leaves, dipped in hot water or warmed over a fire, are applied to painful parts in nervous pains. Bruised leaves are applied as poultice to reduce elephantoid growth.
