Pumpkin seed oil found to reduce hypertension risk in postmenopausal women
An international study by researchers from the U.S. and Iran has found that pumpkin seed oil can potentially reduce the risk of hypertension in women. In their study, published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, the team looked at how supplementing with pumpkin seed oil can impact vascular function in postmenopausal women.
Pumpkin seed oil improves blood pressure after menopause
Menopause can bring many changes to a woman. In fact, she can experience these changes for up to a year before menopause – a period known as perimenopause.
Irregular periods. As the body produces less estrogen, the length of time between periods may either be longer or shorter. There may be times that she skips her period altogether. A woman who has a space of 60 days or more between periods is likely in perimenopause.
Hot flashes and night sweats. Hot flashes and night sweats are common and well-known symptoms of perimenopause. The intensity, length and frequency of hot flashes differ for each woman. In some cases, hot flashes can interrupt sleep.
Mood changes. Many women in perimenopause experience increased irritability and depression. Experts say this may be caused by sleep disruption; however, other factors that are not related to perimenopause may also cause mood changes.
Changes in cholesterol levels. For women in perimenopause, declining estrogen levels means changes in cholesterol levels. In particular, their low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol — also known as the “bad” cholesterol — may increase and put them at risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, their high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or “good” cholesterol, may decrease, which also puts them at risk of cardiovascular disease.
In their study, the team assessed the potential of pumpkin seed oil to prevent or treat hypertension in postmenopausal women. They recruited a total of 23 women for their small-scale study. The researchers asked the participants to take either a pumpkin seed oil supplement or a placebo three times a day for six weeks. The researchers measured the participants’ blood pressure and other parameters related to cardiovascular function before and after the trial.
The results revealed that women who took pumpkin seed oil experienced a significant decrease in their blood pressure and arterial stiffness. According to the team, this suggests that consuming pumpkin seed oil can lead to positive outcomes, especially in postmenopausal women who are at risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Here are some more benefits you can get from pumpkin seed oil.
Lower cholesterol levels. Pumpkin seed oil is packed with phytosterols that block cholesterol absorption and help lower cholesterol levels.
Improved urinary function. A study published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine revealed that consuming pumpkin seed oil can provide relief from an overactive bladder.

Heavy metal poisoning
Heavy metal poisoning is much more common than most people realize, and if you’re thinking that it doesn’t apply to you because you haven’t been exposed to any, think again. If you’ve eaten fish regularly, had amalgam fillings, received vaccinations, drank contaminated water, or done industrial or agricultural work or pharmaceutical manufacturing, there’s a good chance that you have a fair amount of toxic metals in your system..
We are here to help and to educate!
