While the papaya fruit is a beloved tropical delight, its leaves contain a unique and potent concentration of alkaloids and phenolic compounds. The enzyme papain, found in the leaves, is a powerful protease that helps to break down proteins, aiding digestion. Their use in modern wellness has focused on their remarkable ability to support the body’s natural platelet production.

Papaya leaves have gained significant attention for their powerful medicinal properties, particularly for supporting platelet count. In traditional medicine, a juice or extract of the leaves is a primary remedy for managing dengue fever. They contain enzymes like papain and chymopapain, which aid digestion. The leaves also exhibit strong anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
● For a Wellness Decoction: Boil 1 tsp of Papaya leaf powder in 2 cups of water for 10-15 minutes. Strain the liquid and consume as directed by a health practitioner, especially for platelet support.
● For a Digestive Aid: A small amount of the powder can be taken with water before a heavy meal to help with protein digestion.
We select fresh, healthy leaves from organically grown Papaya trees.
The leaves are carefully dried and ground into a fine powder, preserving the potent enzymes and compounds that give them their therapeutic power.
