It is a good, not so wintery day. I have been away for a
long time and feel good to be back. The reason of my chhutti was my son’s
coming down with dengue. The dreaded disease had taken epidemic proportions in
the last few months all over the country. The following is a home remedy to
bring up the platelet count. It helped my son in recovering well. Accompany this
with the prescribed medication and lots and lots of fluids. Daabh (tender
coconut water), soups, juices, nimbu paani consumed by the litres is very good.
Colas and other aerated drinks should be avoided, so should be any food with
preservatives.
RAW PAPAYA LEAVES – This is a natural cure for dengue fever.
The juice of Papaya leaf is a sure cure for platelet deficiency. Research shows,
papaya leaf juice helps increase white blood cells and platelets, normalizes
clotting, and repairs the liver. There is a condition to this remedy; however,
the papaya leaf juice will not be as effective during the final stages of
dengue fever since, by then, the patient’s organs are already badly affected by
the disease.
PREPARATION:
-You need 2 pcs. Of tender raw papaya leaves
- Wash thoroughly, pound and squeeze with filter cloth.
- one normally gets 1 tablespoon juice per leaf. The standard dose is 2 tablespoons
which should be administered once a day.
- Do not dilute, cook or rinse with water, it will lose its curative value.-stop it once the platelet count is
satisfactory
