Papaya is sour in flavor and warm in nature; it belongs to liver, spleen and stomach meridians. It has the effect of relaxing the tendons and activating the collaterals, harmonizing the stomach and removing dampness. It is mainly used in the treatment of soreness of limbs, contracture of tendons and veins (continuous tension and stiffness of muscles), vomiting and diarrhea (continuous tension and stiffness of muscles after vomiting and diarrhea), edema, etc. It is also used in the treatment of pain and stiffness of muscles and veins. Clinically, papaya is often used together with qiangwu, duhao and qianjian in the treatment of contracture of muscles and veins.
