The fruit of the Papaya is well-known for the digestive enzymes that it contains. The leaf, while vastly different from the fruit, shows great promise as a digestive aid, also. Papaya Leaf reduces inflammation of the stomach lining and, reportedly, heals gastric ulcers by killing H. pylori bacteria.
