    What is it? Papain is an herbal medicine used to treat burns and to help treat cancer.
    Other names for Papain include: Papaya Extract.
    Papaya Extract, See |PAPAIN |

    Never used it myself so I can't tell you if it works or not.

    Papain is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down proteins). And can be used as a meat tenderizer.

    Bromelain (from pineapple) is similar. Also Actinidain (from kiwifruit).
