Ancient Healing Fruit

Christopher Columbus called papaya the "fruit of the angels" after discovering its remarkable properties. The ancient Maya considered the papaya tree sacred, using it in ceremonies and traditional medicine. Spanish and Portuguese explorers later introduced this precious fruit to Asia and Africa, where it was quickly adopted into local healing traditions. In many tropical cultures, papaya remains a cherished remedy for digestive health, often prepared as a tea or added to therapeutic brews.
