Papaya Seeds For Healing & Detoxification

In my research on the health benefits of papaya, I found out that the seed were edible. Surprise, surprise. Of course this helped with my desire not to throw anything of value away so I continued the research and found out that the papaya (pawpaw)seeds are antihelmintic which means they are great for expelling worms and they are given with honey. It was said that you have to chew and swallow two teaspoonfuls of seeds after each principal meal (three times a day).

Now in my personal experience and what I've read also, the pawpaw(papaya) seeds are a bit bitter so we just decided to swallow them whole instead as we ate the pawpaw. Then I found out that since it tastes a bit like black pepper it can be blended with other ingredients and used as a dressing on salads. Interesting.

According to wikipedia, papaya seeds could be used as an antibacterial agent for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, although further research is needed before advocating large-scale therapy.  Wikipedia also stated that papaya seed extract may be nephroprotective (protect the kidneys) in toxicity-induced kidney failure.  Even more interesting.

According to healthdiaries.com here are 4 more health benefits of papaya seeds:

Antibacterial Properties
Research has found that papaya seeds are effective against E. coli, Salmonella, and Staph infections.

Kidney Protection
Research has found that papaya seed extract may protect the kidneys from toxin-induced kidney failure.

Eliminates Intestinal Parasites
There is evidence that papaya seeds eradicate intestinal parasites. In a study done on Nigerian children with intestinal parasites, 76.7% of the children were parasite-free after seven days of treatment with papaya seeds compared to only 16.7% of the children who received a placebo.

Liver Detoxifier
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that a teaspoon of papaya seeds will help detoxify the liver. Papaya seeds are often recommended by natural doctors in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver.

So please, don't throw away the papaya(pawpaw) seeds next time you eat a papaya.  It is extremely beneficial to the healing of our bodies and prevention of ailments.
