Description

Pumpkinseeds-Styrian- Health Benefits and Nutritional info Medicinal Properties: The Styrian pumpkin itself is not used as a food item. It was- if at all - considered suitable for animals only. The vegetable part of its fruit was never a favoured over pumpkin varieties that produce more and better fruit pulp than the Styrian pumpkin. However, the seeds of the pumpkins have been used for ages as "snack-food" especially in the mediterranian area with the known " side-effect" of easing and preventing bladder and prostate problems. This effect makes the Styrian pumpkin seeds so valuable today, since the amount of this beneficial component is significantly higher than in any other variety.The medicinal benefit is so extraordinary that this Styrian variety is grown for the seed's ingredients alone, hence only the seeds are harvested and the pumpkin pulp is discarded as "fertilizer" on the field. The specific components are known to prevent bladder and prostate problems, even to shrink enlarged prostate glands in early stages. Small amounts are needed. Pharmaceutical capsules contain only minuscule amounts (e.g. 5000 mg = 5g ) of pumpkin seed oil . Chewing a handful of the seeds every other day can easily give a similarly sufficient preventive supply. Pumpkin seed oil is most commonly used to treat irritable bowel syndrome. Small studies have also shown that pumpkin seeds, which contain amino acids, steroidal compounds, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, may lower the risk of certain types of kidney stones and improve symptoms associated with enlarged prostates. Additionally, pumpkin seeds reportedly contain significant amounts of tryptophan and lysine.Some studies have also found pumpkin seeds to prevent arteriosclerosis and regulate cholesterol levels. Pumpkin seed oil, commonly prescribed in German folk medicine, remedies parasitic infestations of the intestinal tract such as tapeworms. The healing power of pumpkins and pumpkin seeds was discovered a long time ago. For thousands of years the flesh was used for treatment of skin irritations, ulcers and tumors. Pumpkin seeds have made the news in recent years for their preventative power in relation to prostate conditions and prostate health. Studies now show that prostate enlargement may be slowed, stopped and even reversed. Styrian pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, and essential fatty acids- all of which are in short supply in most men suffering from prostate enlargement. For centuries, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil have been used as a natural remedy for irritation of the bladder and kidneys as well as for prostate irregularities. Now considered a superfood, the active ingredients in pumpkin seeds normalize and strengthen the musculature of the bladder and have a positive and prophylactic effect on benign prostate growths (benign Prostatahyperplasie BPH) in the first and second stages. If used as a preventative measure early enough or as a supplement to a regular diet, the nutrients in pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil could contribute to avoiding urinary tract and prostate issues later in life especially in men over 40 years old. There hasn't been any indication that eating pumpkin seeds or pumpkin seed oil, even in higher doses, has any side effects. Neither does it produce any complication when taken in combination with other foods or medicines.
