Organic Papaya Leaf

The benefits of papaya leaf are plenty, from correcting skin discoloration, to supporting a healthy scalp, to preventing cancer and supporting blood sugar levels with a particular affinity for the digestive system. 

• Papaya leaves contain the enzyme papain which helps break down complex amino acids (proteins) into simpler amino acids that the body can readily use
• Papaya leaf is full of antioxidants like flavonoids and vitamin E  which can improve hair growth. It can also support hair growth and scalp health by inhibiting the growth of dandruff causing fungus
• Topically, the enzyme papain present in papaya leaves acts as a natural exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and reduce the appearance of clogged pores, ingrown hairs, and acne
• The enzyme papain present in papaya leaves is known to be a cancer preventative 
• Papaya leaf promotes balanced blood sugar levels for those with diabetes

Papaya leaves can be prepared:

• As a bitter tea (best taken upon rising on an empty stomach or before a meal)
• As a tincture
• By infusing into oil for hair and skin applications
• As a capsule or powder by finely grinding up or blending the leaves
