Foods have a long history of being used as medicines.

With our 24/7 news cycle and constant health discoveries and research studies one important healthy food keeps flying under the radar — the pumpkin.

More precisely, the seed and extract of the pumpkin.

You've probably seen pumpkin seeds for sale in the nut section of your local grocery or maybe as a part of a trail mix blend. Though they've caught on, they're still severely under-appreciated for their role as medicine. In my practice we've used pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil in a capsule and pumpkin seed extract to treat many bladder-related conditions; not infections but bladder-related complaints such as an overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, too many nighttime trips to the bathroom and bladder spasm. Herbalists traditionally used pumpkin seed extract and pumpkin seed oil to strengthen bladder tissue and help the bladder expand and contract. It helped the nerves of the bladder to regain control after childbirth and helped with the many trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night for people over age 50. It’s also known to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by blocking certain enzymes. It’s also used to regulate and maintain prostate health. Those uses are still applicable today. Many herbal companies tout excellent research into the benefits of pumpkin seeds. If you suffer from a weak bladder you may do well to add pumpkin seeds to your diet. They're most helpful in the raw state and especially absorbable if they've been sprouted like those sold by the company All Raw, available at many stores and in large bags from Costco. A current trend is to make pumpkin seed butter out of them, just as you would peanut butter. For a more medicinal approach you may want to try adding pumpkin seed oil to your diet in the form of a capsule or as an edible oil for salad dressings, etc. A typical dose is 1 to 3 1,000 mg capsules a day. You can find these at your local health food store. For the deepest healing you'll need pumpkin seed extract. This is found online and for a strong enough product plan to spend about $30 to $50 a bottle. So, pumpkins aren’t just for carving at Halloween or making holiday pies. They can be part of your everyday health regimen. Trudi Pratt has a chiropractic and clinical nutrition practice in Redding. Reach her at www.drtrudipratt.com or at 244-7873.

You can eat pumpkin seeds raw or cooked, depending on your preference. If you eat them raw, eat them with the shell or break it off with your teeth and spit it out like you would with a sunflower seed. If you want to cook pumpkin seeds before you eat them, spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 20 minutes at 375 °F. You can also season pumpkin seeds with things like cinnamon, sea salt, pepper, and nutmeg to give them more flavor.
