Urdu: پپیتا، ارند خر بوزہ (عام مستعمل: پپیتا)
Hindi: पपीता
English: Papaya
Botanical Name: Carica papaya L.

Introduction

Papaya is one of the most valuable tropical fruit plants and has gained an important place in Unani medicine because of its digestive, hepatic, anti-inflammatory, vermifuge and nutritive properties. Although it is not described extensively in classical Unani literature due to its introduction into the Indian subcontinent after the medieval period, modern Unani physicians have incorporated it into practice based on its temperament (Mizaj), pharmacological actions, and clinical usefulness.

Almost every part of the plant—including ripe fruit, unripe fruit, leaves, seeds, flowers, latex, and roots—possesses medicinal value.
