Locals have been using it in the north of Nigeria where it is called “gwanda”.

Boil paw-paw leaves in water and bring to cool. The liquid extract (or juice) is ready for drinking. A glass morning and evening is the required dosage.

Boil gwanda leaf or boil it in water and allow cooling. Drink it morning and night to treat malaria. You can also drink the juice.
