Papaya is a wonderful fruit for overall human health, as it contains many different minerals, nutrients, organic acids and antioxidants that promote proper function of our organ systems. In the case of burns, papayas are particularly useful, as they can stimulate the loss of dead cells, clearing the way for the healing process to take over and regrow healthy skin. Papaya pulp can be applied directly to the site of the burn 2-3 days after the incident first occurs. This will also help to reduce the appearance of the scar and prevent any residual pain or inflammation during the healing process.
