Pumpkin Seed Oil For Prostate Problems
by GiGi
Chances are if you are a male over 50, you’ll probably be having some prostate problems soon. Pumpkin Seed Oil is a relatively new supplement that shows some promise for age-related prostate problems. What are the symptoms?
BHP (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) is a common condition affecting aging males. The symptoms include frequent urination, a weak or hesitant urinary stream and urinary leaking. Many men complain about having to get up several times during the night. An enlarged prostate may also give you painful urination.
What’s amazing is that 60% of men between the ages of 40 – 59 already have an enlarged prostate. About 75% of the men at 60 have it.
As the disease progresses, the symptoms become worse and it can lead to chronic kidney problems, so it’s definitely something that should not be ignored. There are drug therapies you can take – check with your doctor.
In the 1960s, there were several German studies done using pumpkin seed oil for prostate problems and in the 1990s, there was a Swedish study done. Although the results were positive, there have been so few studies done that it is not a widely used therapy here in the U.S. However, it is more common in Europe and is an approved over-the-counter treatment for an enlarged prostate in Germany.
So far, there have not been any reported side effects from using pumpkin seed oil, so if you are having prostate problems and getting up several times in the night to urinate, you might want to try taking some pumpkin seed oil and see if it helps you.

Very informative article on pumpkin seed oil. My dad who is 78 now has had prostate problems for years. He’s been on and off of various prescription medications, but I prefer the natural route when it comes to health. I will be sure to have him read your article!
Thanks!

Thanks GiGi!
No problems of this type as of yet.(67 but still play tennis harder than when I was 25 and the only health problem is an occcasional tennis related injury).
Pumpkin seed oil has a near perfect ratio of Om 6 to Om 3 EFA’s so should be extemely beneficial in many anti-aging respects.
I want to share some powerful discovery: go to http://www.brianpeskin.com and read his info/research . Then take the Ultimate EFA’s (pumpkin seed oil is one of the ingredients )with ozonated water to immediately get incredible energy, better sleep, ,etc. –an incredible discovery I was fortunate enough to luck into.
Keep up the great work!! Dave
Interesting find. I wonder how Pumpkin Seed oil stack’s up against the more common EFA’s? I hope we see more research carried out into Pumpkin Seed oil’s health benefits.
Cheers

My father actually had prostate cancer last year and recovered from it thanks to a couple of natural products, of which pumpkin seed oil was one.
Personally, I think more people need to know about the benefits it can bring and to actually consider adding more nutrients in their diets. Imagine how much our healthh spending would drop if people were educated on how and what to eat to stay 100% healthy!
