Why chew Papaya seeds and not swallow whole in the treatment of parasites:
Chewing papaya seeds breaks the outer shell, releasing the active compounds inside such as papain and carpaine. These compounds are responsible for their antiparasitic and digestive benefits.
When you chew the seeds, your body can absorb the enzymes and nutrients more easily. Swallowing them whole may cause them to pass through the digestive system without breaking down, which reduces their effectiveness.
Chewing also allows the seeds to start working in the mouth and stomach, where parasites can begin their life cycle. This helps target them earlier in the digestive process.
