Papaya leaf (Carica papaya) is a tropical herb, commonly consumed as tea, juice, or extract, known for supporting immune function, boosting low platelet counts (specifically in dengue), aiding digestion with the enzyme papain, and acting as an antioxidant. It is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and minerals. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for detoxification and to improve hair and skin health.
