The Virtues of Pumpkin
The falling leaves mean it is pumpkin season again! Pumpkin isn't only for pie. The flesh of pumpkin helps relieve "damp" conditions such as loose stools, eczema, and edema. It also helps regulate blood sugar balance and promotes discharge of mucus from the lungs and throat. Adding pumpkin to your diet on a regular basis has been found to benefit bronchial asthma.
Pumpkin seeds have their own set of benefits. When unroasted, they are a valuable source of zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also used for impotency and swollen prostate. Eat 1-2 ounces daily for therapeutic benefits.
Add pumpkin to your table this Thanksgiving as a side dish. Try baking it as you would any other squash! Enjoy!
