Well it is officially that time of year, pumpkin spice where ever you look! Some people might be surprised to know I am not a fan of pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie at all (I’m a weirdo, I know). I do however enjoy a nice roasted pumpkin or pumpkin soup, but however you enjoy your pumpkin you might be surprised how beneficial the seeds of this amazing plant are.
If you have been following my blog, or have seen some of my YouTube videos, you know how I hold Cannabis oils in high regards for many things (including IBS and anxiety, just to name a few), but along my wellness journey I was surprised to find another amazing oil which has so many medicinal benefits, and has been used in traditional native medicine for as long as there have been pumpkins.
So what is so amazing about this oil? Well for starters I stumbled upon it when researching tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to serotonin (the feel good chemical) that has a direct correlation to anxiety (as well as IBS, depression and a slew of other things). As a matter of fact it was one of the original treatments for anxiety and depression before modern SSRIs. So this is what first caught my eye with pumpkin seed oil; its large quantity of natural tryptophan.
When doing further research into this simple yet amazing and underrated oil, I found so many other amazing benefits, such as reducing inflammation as well as being an amazing source of plant based omegas. It also greatly soothes GI conditions such as IBS, and paralyzes parasites in the digestive tract for evacuation (including candida). It helps with over active bladder, heart health, and diabetes and it is amazing for the prostate. It has been used successfully to help treat hair loss in men as well as a gentle, natural Viagra. With virtually no known side effects or interactions, it is a definite positive addition to anyone’s diet. Pumpkin seed oil can be found in liquid or high potency capsule form, such as https://amzn.to/3XtB0nI
