Traditional Background

Paw Paw is a North American tree whose leaves and fruit have a long history of traditional use among Indigenous peoples and in folk herbalism. The leaves are rich in unique compounds that have been studied for their effects on cell health, parasites and general wellness. Traditionally, Paw Paw leaf has been used as a cleansing, balancing herb, often in small amounts as part of broader wellness protocols.

Alkaloids & Bitter Constituents: Support digestive and liver function and contribute to Paw Paw’s traditional “cleansing” reputation.

Antioxidants: Plant pigments and phenolic compounds providing general antioxidant support.
