There is an interesting story: There was a man named Gu Anzhong in Guangde, Anhui Province. He suffered from severe athlete's foot, his tendons were sore and his legs were swollen. He could not walk, so he had to take a boat home. As the boat sailed in the water, he looked worried. In his upset, he accidentally put his feet on a sack of goods. When he got off the boat, he found that his swollen legs had lessened and the pain had disappeared. He was very surprised and asked the boatman what was in the bag. The boatman replied that it was papaya. After Gu Anzhong returned home, he bought some papaya slices and put them in a bag. He put his feet on the slices every day. Soon, his athlete's foot was cured. This record shows that papaya is indeed effective in treating rheumatic pain.
