Notes:

Dengue fever, also called as breakbone fever, is a tropical infectious disease that is caused by the dengue virus transmitted by the bite of the Aedes mosquito. Dengue symptoms generally include fever, headache, joint and muscle pains, and skin rashes similar to measles The juice of the humble papaya leaf has been seen to arrest the destruction of platelets that has been the cause for so many deaths this dengue season. Ayurveda researchers have found that enzymes in the papaya leaf can fight a host of viral infections, not just dengue, and can help regenerate platelets and white blood cells.
