It assists the body in assimilating the maximum nutritional value from food to provide energy and bodybuilding materials.

Papain in raw papaya makes up for the deficiency of gastric juice and fights excess of unhealthy mucus in the stomach and intestinal irritation. The ripe fruit, if eaten regularly corrects habitual constipation, bleeding piles and chronic diarrhea. The juice of the papaya seeds also assists in the above-mentioned ailments. Papaya juice, used as a cosmetic, removes freckles or brown spots due to exposure to sunlight arid makes the skin smooth and delicate. A paste of papaya seeds is applied in skin diseases like those caused by ringworm.
