Conditions Treated Using Pumpkin:
Name: Pumpkin
Other Names: Cucurbita pepo, squash
Description:
The pumpkin is botanically classified as a fruit (the ripened ovary of a flowering plant). Pumpkin is a gourd-like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae. It is a common name of or can refer to cultivars of any one of the following species: Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita mixta, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata.
Researches suggest that chemical compounds found in pumpkin promote regeneration of damaged pancreatic cells, resulting in increased bloodstream insulin levels. According to the research team leader, pumpkin extract may be "a very good product for pre-diabetic people, as well as those who already have diabetes," possibly reducing or eliminating the need for insulin injections for some type-1 diabetics.
It is unknown whether pumpkin extract has any effect on diabetes mellitus type 2, as it was not the subject of the study.
Pumpkin seed oil, long-believed to be a folk remedy for prostate problems, it has in fact been shown to combat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Pumpkin seed oil contains fatty acids which help maintain healthy blood vessels and nerves, and are loaded with essential fatty acids that help to maintain healthy blood vessels, nerves and tissues.
