Typhoid fever, a bacterial disease caused by Salmonella typhi, remains a public health problem. Generally transmitted through contaminated water or food, it manifests itself through high fever, abdominal pain, general weakness and sometimes serious complications if not treated in time. While antibiotics remain the standard treatment, certain natural solutions, such as papaya seeds, are attracting increasing interest for their antimicrobial properties.

Papaya (Carica papaya), often eaten for its digestive benefits and vitamin content, hides precious medicinal virtues in its seeds. Traditionally used in natural medicine, papaya seeds have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic properties. Several studies have shown that these seeds contain active compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins, which can help fight certain bacterial infections, including Salmonella typhi.

Antibacterial effect

Papaya seeds have demonstrated inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella typhi, the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever. They prevent the proliferation of the bacteria responsible for typhoid fever. In 2008, the University of Gondar in Ethiopia conducted research showing that papaya seed extracts can inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi and other pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Traditional practices in Togo and Nigeria involve eating papaya seeds mixed with milk or boiled to treat typhoid fever.

Recipe: Dry the seeds, then grind them to a powder. Add 1 teaspoon of this powder to 1 glass of warm water or porridge. Drink twice a day (morning and evening).

Detoxifying the liver and intestines

Typhoid fever often affects the digestive system. Papaya seeds are renowned for their ability to purify the liver and improve digestion. This can help relieve some of the symptoms of the disease. The valuable active ingredients in papaya seeds are even useful in cases of cirrhosis of the liver. Reports recommend eating 5 to 6 dried papaya seeds a day. The seeds should be finely ground and taken with juice. After just 30 days of use, such a cure produces surprisingly positive results in terms of liver health, due in particular to the papain it contains.

Papain activates the growth hormone somatropin via various detours. This is extremely important for the renewal and regeneration of liver cells, and it has long been known that an overworked liver recovers more easily if the body can produce sufficient somatropin.

Therefore, include papaya seeds in your liver cleansing diet or in measures to regenerate the liver. The effort is minimal. Simply chew 5 papaya seeds several times a day or apply the recipe below.

Recipe: Take 1 tablespoon of fresh seeds. Crush and mix with honey or the juice of 2 limes. Take twice a day for one week.
