Green Papaya Pur Er Tea

is a natural remedy for joint pain 

found in http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/363878

I have tried this recipe for my knee pain 

and osteoarthritis in both my middle fingers.

I find that the pain has been reduced after drinking daily for 2 weeks.

When the pain stopped, I also stopped boiling.

Now, whenever the pain comes back, I will boil again.

You may like to try if you have some pain in the joints.

The papaya should be green and firm to the touch.

Once cut, there will be 'papaya milk' 

 known as papaya enzymes

on the cut surface.

3) new mothers drink green papaya soup boil with fish
