PEPITAS

Pepitas (pumpkin seed) gathered from Cucurbita pepo, are useful if you have a zinc deficiency. Sometimes zinc deficiency causes an enlarged prostate. If an enlarged prostate is mild, a small handful of pepitas may help. If prostate surgery is necessary, pepitas may support gradual recovery. A heaped teaspoon of pepitas 3-4 times weekly should be adequate for the recovery process. Pumpkin seed oil, a teaspoon with the evening meal, might help improve kidney function, if urinating is a bit sluggish. The oil is also known by herbalists to help expel tape worms.
