Paw Paw Leaf
Studies have demonstrated that it may have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actions.
I do have cancer but its in remission and has been for a few years. I try to have a good diet and I know people who have been on paw paw leaves and their cancer has been in remission as well. I not saying this is a cure but there is evidence to suggest these may work in in some people.
The leaves are nicely packaged and the tea is easy to make. I,m not on them all the time but fairly regularly.
