Pharmacology
Carica papaya belongs to the plant family Caricaceae and is an economically important fruit crop all over the world. Many scientific studies have looked at the benefit of different parts of the papaya plant, including the fruits, seeds, leaves, rind, shoots, roots and latex. The leaf is considered non-toxic, as its lethal dose is >15 g/kg body weight. Preclinical studies in mice gave encouraging results for Carica papaya powder in increasing platelet count. More recently, an in vitro study showed that Carica papaya leaves extract significantly inhibited hemolysis, probably because of its membrane stabilizing potency.
