Description: Latin NameCarica papayaAlso Known AsPaw Paw, Papaye, Curry Mathi, Fruta Bomba Parts UsedSeeds and powderTraditional Use and Health BenefitsYet another ancient superfood to grace us from South America, the Papaya fruit and seeds were especially revered by the Ancient Mayans who worshipped the tree, calling it “The Tree of Life”.Papayas have several medicinal properties and native inhabitants of South America have used them for centuries to treat numerous diseases and symptoms. Mayan Indians would use Papaya fruit in the form of a paste to heal skin rash or other skin problems such as cuts, rashes, stings and burns. The seeds were used to expel parasites and as a digestive aid.Papaya Seed BenefitsDigestive HealthPapaya seeds are rich in the enzymes papain and chymopapain, which are proven to enhance digestion, making it easier to digest proteins. Specifically, they help to break down tough protein fibres into smaller strings of protein. This improves nutrient absorption of high protein foods overall and is particularly useful for sufferers of digestive enzyme deficiency. Papain also helps the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal system, enhancing the functionality of digestive organs.Papaya seeds can also promote a healthy digestive system by fighting intestinal parasites. Research was undertaken in May 2007 to test the hypothesis that Papaya Seeds have powerful anti-microbial activity. Researchers gave a Papaya Seed preparation to children who tested positive for intestinal parasites, and the study which was published in the "Journal of Medicinal Food"; found that Papaya Seeds were effective at treating parasites without harmful side effects.Liver HealthThe liver and the digestive system are closely tied in that by promoting healthy digestion, the digestive load on the liver is greatly reduced.Papaya Seeds are rich in antioxidants that specifically prevent free radical production in liver cells, and as such they make an excellent addition to liver detoxification recipes.Kidney HealthThe potent anti-bacterial properties found in Papaya Seeds help to protect the kidneys from damaging toxins that can cause disease and failure in this important organ.Anti-InflammatoryPapaya Seeds contain flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory properties which have been shown to inhibit the production of messaging molecules that cause inflammation. They can be especially effective in easing the swelling and joint pain that comes with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Typical UsePapaya SeedsThe first time you eat Papaya Seeds try just 2 seeds taken with a protein based meal.If these are well-tolerated, then add another 2 seeds each time until you reach about a quarter of a teaspoon.After at least 3 days of taking a quarter of teaspoon without side effects you can move up to half a teaspoon of Papaya Seeds.After another 3 days you can choose to move up to a full teaspoon of fresh seeds, though this may be too much for some sensitive people, or just stay on half a teaspoon which is likely to provide similar health benefits.If at any point you experience side effects from eating Papaya Seeds then take a day off from them and start again at half the dose.ConstituentsPapaya Seeds are rich in the minerals; Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper and Manganese.
