I recently read an article on the anti-cancer properties of the papaya leaf. One can boil the leaves to make tea.

Is this the same as papaya plant? The photo did not look like a papaya plant to me.

Does papaya leaf grow in Jamaica?

Papaya does groes there, they call it I think papa.

Upful you may find these articles helpful;the first 2 relate to the soursop plant which grows in jamaica and its anti-cancer properties. The third is an article about the papaya plant-this also grows in jamaica.

More evidence of paw-paw's unusual properties. It is perhaps best known as the source of papain (papa-een), an enzyme that "eats" protein -- which is why papaya or its juice extract is the main ingredient in commercial meat tenderizer, the fluid used to keep contact lenses clean, and others. It is also the only fruit or vegetable that is approved to bring into the United States.

I was amazed when I read this story...I can testified of the goodness of the Soursop Leaf..I had a very bad nerve problem, I had taken medication from the doctor, and I had stopped and went on the Soursop leaf, and it had heal my nerves.

Hi Sue, cucumber juice is good for High Blood Pressure...Wash and cut the cucumber in bite pieces, put in Blenda add wather and blend add a littl lime juice and sweeten to taste...Have 1 8oz glass per day...It can be after breadkast or b4 Bed time...enjoy and watch ur Pressure come bak to normal...Warning!!! too much can give u a low Pressure, so ONLY hav it once per day!!

R is quite right you can use either celery or cucumber juice or mix the two. Both are considered good for reducing high blood pressure.Fortunately I don't suffer with hypertension or high blood pressure but I know people who have found this hugely beneficial.

On importing papaya...always check with the U.S. FDA or Customs before bringing pawpaw back with you. Rules change all the time. Right now, they are not allowing in pawpaw from Mexico.
