The fruit of the Papaya is well-known for the digestive enzymes that it contains. The leaf, while vastly different from the fruit, shows great promise as a digestive aid, also. Papaya Leaf reduces inflammation of the stomach lining and, reportedly, heals gastric ulcers by killing H. pylori bacteria. Because Papaya leaves are anti-inflammatory, drinking a warm tea made from Papaya Leaves can soothe colon inflammation from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other inflammatory bowel diseases. Papaya may help metabolize wheat gluten, making it easier to digest.
