Introduction:
Pumpkin seeds aren’t just a tasty snack—they’re gaining attention from holistic health experts and even renowned doctors for their potential to cleanse the body of harmful parasites. Traditionally used in folk medicine and now supported by emerging scientific interest, soaked pumpkin seeds are believed to be a natural remedy for intestinal worms and other parasites. This easy-to-prepare home remedy may help detoxify your digestive tract gently and effectively. Here's how to make and use it safely.
Ingredients:
½ cup raw, organic pumpkin seeds (preferably unsalted and shelled)
1 cup filtered water
Optional: a pinch of sea salt or a squeeze of lemon for taste
Directions:
Rinse the Seeds: Start by rinsing the pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any surface residue.
Soak: Place the seeds in a glass jar or bowl and add the filtered water. Cover and let them soak overnight (approximately 8–12 hours).
Drain and Rinse Again: In the morning, drain the water and give the seeds a quick rinse.
Consume: Eat the soaked seeds on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning. You can chew them directly or blend with a small amount of water to make a paste or smoothie.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: Consume around 2–3 tablespoons daily for 7–10 days, or as suggested by a healthcare provider.
Storage: Keep any leftover soaked seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid soaking more than you can use within this period to maintain freshness.
