Pumpkin Seeds

The pumpkin is native to North America and has long been known for its diuretic properties. Pumpkin seeds are consumed to treat urinary tract conditions, bedwetting and bladder infections. The nutritional value of the pumpkin seed is impressive: these seeds are rich in zinc, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. They are an excellent source of proteins and have deworming capabilities. They also help to protect the prostate and improve thyroid gland function. Because of their richness in iron, they are also used to treat anemia.
