The pawpaw plant is a native of South America, where it was cultivated since Pre-Columbian times. There are 22 plants and trees in the pawpaw genus; the famous of which is carica papaya . Pawpaw is one of God’s wonderful gifts to humanity. It is a pharmacy in its own right. We all eat it and enjoy its sweet and pleasant taste but how many of us know the medicinal value of this plant?
Pawpaw improves the digestion of protein and expels worms. The ripe fruits are rich in vitamins A, B and C. Vitamin A is good for eyesight, Vitamin B for the nerves and muscles while Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and helps fight against illnesses. Form worms, chew 2 tablespoons of the seeds of ripe pawpaw fruit first thing on rising and last thing at night. Do this for 3 days. Take only fruits for breakfast and supper for those three days.
For chronic external ulcers or sores, cut a piece of unripe pawpaw fruit and tie directly to the wound. Do this four times daily. Continue till the wound has dried, which will be in few days or weeks. To make the wound heal faster, eat plenty of ripe pawpaw.

Are you saying it cures impotentence, or causes it? Unripe Papaya, and papaya seeds widely believed to cause miscarriage, and [b]known [/b]to have a contraceptive effect on certain animals during testing.

I am sure many of these remedies will need to be taken with a pinch of salt
I read somewhere for example ( wikipedia) that pawpaw leaves , seed , fruit can be quite toxic

Paw paw (papaya in Asia) seeds are widely used as male contraceptive in Asia. Seems like a contradiction to your suggestion for boosting fertility.

I don't think the poster mentioned anything on 'boosting fertility'. He only said 'impotence'
