Note :
Ø As we see, the usage of Papaya leaves extract (in the form of fresh juice / tabs / caps / syrup etc) is not the right way to treat Dengue as per Ayurveda principles. It is better to decide the medicines based on the analysis of internal pathology (as per Ayurvedic guideline).
Ø Talam – with appropriate drug(s) when planned along with internal medicines possess quick action in controlling many of the medical emergencies.
As this is a very simple procedure to execute, even a common man can do it at home with the proper medical advice. It acts as a safety measure, until you reach your physician.
