1. PAPAYA AND ALOE-
VERA

2. PAPAYA

3. About Papaya
Papaya is a fruit that is eaten in all parts of the
world because of its taste and health benefits.
Seeing yourself eating a papaya in your
dreams means that you have satisfactory
health and you will also get tangible benefits
in business and career.

4. Uses Of Papaya
• Being a good source of Vitamin A and Papain, this fruit helps
in removing dead skin cells along with breaking down the
inactive proteins.
• The best feature of papaya is its ‘Low Sodium Quality’, thus
resulting in very little retention of water. In simple words it
means, it helps you keep your skin hydrated.
• Papaya is actually a wholesome fruit as it contains more
Carotene when compared to other fruits like apple, custard
apple, guava and plantains. Not being an expensive fruit,
papaya is a common man’s fruit which is beneficial in many
ways.

5. Conti…
• The application of finely grounded paste of raw papaya on the
face for 25 minutes helps reduce those unwanted pimples and
other embarrassing blemishes on the face.
• Both, direct application and eating will help you achieve
smooth, supple and soft skin.
• Regular consumption or application of papaya also provides
shine to the skin, which comes from within and is long lasting.
• The mashed papaya can be used for treating the sore
and cracked heels.

6. Allergies and side effects
• Papaya releases a latex fluid when not quite ripe, which can
cause irritation and provoke allergic reaction in some people.
• The latex concentration of unripe papayas is speculated to
cause uterine contractions, which may lead to a miscarriage.
Papaya seed extracts in large doses have a contraceptive
effect on rats and monkeys, but in small doses have no effect
on the unborn animals.
• Excessive consumption of papaya can cause carotenemia, the
yellowing of soles and palms, which is otherwise harmless.
However, a very large dose would need to be consumed;
papaya contains about 6% of the level of beta carotene found
in carrots (the most common cause of carotenemia)
