Papaya Leaf Extract

for Jaundice

Fresh papaya leaf juice (20–30ml daily) or papaya leaf extract — used traditionally across South and Southeast Asia to support liver health in jaundice.

How it works

Papaya leaves contain papain, chymopapain and various alkaloids with hepatoprotective properties. Studies suggest they may reduce liver enzyme levels and support platelet production in hepatitis-related jaundice.

What to watch for

Pregnant women should avoid papaya leaf as it may cause uterine contractions. Consult a doctor before use in children or with medication. Fresh leaf juice is bitter — often taken with honey.
