The Power of Papaya Leaves

Papaya leaves can be used to cure dengue fever. I have recommended this usage since 2002 when there was an outbreak of dengue fever. A mother came to me asking for my assistance because her 10 year old son has contracted dengue fever. The son was warded in the General Hospital but the fever was still rising. The doctors have given him paracetamol to the maximum allowable but the temperature is still rising. I have a very worried mother here.

I told the mother to pluck some young paper leaves, make an infusion of it and let her son drink half a cup every half an hour until the fever starts to come down. Since her son is in the quarantined ward, she is the only person allowed in. She brought the papaya drink to her son and did as instructed. Within one hour, the temperature dropped and within 48 hours, her son was out of danger. This method and recipe was given to a lot of children who are suspected of contracting the dengue fever and it does bring the fever down quite quickly.

A simple cure for a transmittable vector disease. Trust the power of papaya leaves.
