Papaya leaf juice, Cure for Dengue

Posted on time September 7th, 2010 by user Prem flag No Comments

You may have heard about this natural cure for dengue fever, if not I am glad to inform you that papaya leaf juice has been effective against dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it is good to share this info with all.

Here is how you do it, you need to get some fresh papaya leaves, pound or blend them and squeeze the juice out of the leaves and consume the same.

When a person has dengue fever, the platelet count drops. In severe cases you need to have blood transfusion and wait for her body’s immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. It is said that if you have papaya leaf juice, the platelet count will start increasing. May be because when you have fever, your body would be overheated and papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one’s body, which helps fever to go away. It is said that papaya leaf juice is also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It’s great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it’s so easily available. Blend them and squeeze the juice! It’s simple and miraculously effective!!

As always, none of this can guarantee the care and attention you get in a hospital. Use them as supplementary than main medication if you suspect dengue fever.
