Medicinal methods of consuming Papaya
- Papaya should be eaten everyday before breakfast. Eat a large plate of it or drink it in a juice without adding sugar. A bit of 100% pure honey is better.
- It is important to eat papaya 30 minutes before a meal or two hours after eating. You should not mix it with food because this lowers the healing effect, and it isn’t properly used completely. This also creates alcohol when combined with other foods, which damages the liver.
- If you have arthritis or a skin condition, you can make a papaya paste with a big piece of papaya and half a cup of plain yogurt. Apply it on top of the damaged area or as a mask, and let it set for 20 minutes before rinsing with plenty of water.
- If you have constipation, cancer, arthritis, or if you want a general body and intestinal cleanse, you should prepare a papaya smoothie and add a few seeds to the smoothie. Blend with a bit of water and juice from half a lemon. Drink daily before breakfast.
- If you have parasites, you need to blend papaya seeds with a small piece of papaya, one small, raw close of garlic (optional, the garlic strengthens the parasite removal effect), and half a glass of water. Blend well and drink without straining, on an empty stomach, for one month straight.
When you are selecting your papaya, make sure it is fresh, that it isn’t bruised or old. The papaya should have a smooth skin and bright, smooth color.
