The Top 6 Pumpkin Seed Oil Benefits.
Pumpkin seed oil is an oil pressed from raw or roasted pumpkin seeds with many health benefits. It has a rich and nutty flavor and is a potent source of beneficial fatty acids, antioxidants and DHT blocking compounds such as beta-sitosterol and delta-7-sterine.
The hight quality Pumpkin Seed Oil of Ringing Cedars of Russia company is extra virgin oil pressed from raw shelled pumpkin seeds.
High quality pumpkin seed oil is often used as a salad dressing mixed with fresh lemon juice or a good apple cider vinegar. It can also be used to add flavor and nutrition to soups, sauces and many other recipes. It should not, however, be used as an oil for frying or in baking as high temperatures can damage its delicate structure.
Here are 6 of the top health benefits of pumpkin seed oil.
1. Pumpkin Seed Oil and BPH
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects many men around the world, particularly men over 50. BPH is believed to be due to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) promoting proliferation of prostate cells. This results in an enlargement of the prostate gland and can lead to problems and discomfort when urinating.
The phytosterol beta-sitosterol is found in significant concentrations in pumpkin seed oil and helps block the damaging effects of DHT by inhibiting its conversion from testosterone. Pumpkin seed oil also contains the mild steroid delta-7-sterine that specifically competes with DHT in the prostate and seems to help prevent prostate cell multiplication.
Alongside these two DHT blockers, pumpkin seed oil has high levels of antioxidant carotenoids, omega 9 fatty acids and zinc, all of which may help reduce a man's risk of developing BPH. This study found pumpkin seed oil supplementation reduced symptoms and pain for men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia without negative side effects.
2. Hair Loss
Both an enlarged prostate and male pattern baldness are believed to result, at least in large part, from an overproduction of DHT. The same beta-sitosterol, delta-7-sterine and perhaps yet unidentified compounds in pumpkin seed oil that reduces DHT's effect on the prostate cells, may also help prevent it having a negative effect on your hair follicles.
Some people even recommend applying pumpkin seed oil directly to the scalp for its DHT blocking properties. If you don't want green hair then taking raw pumpkin seed oil by the spoonful or drizzled over a salad seems much more enjoyable.
3. Intestinal Parasites
Pumpkin seed oil has been traditionally used as a treatment for intestinal parasites. Taken on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning, it seems to have the unusual ability to paralyze parasites like the common tapeworm.
Importantly, this paralysis is temporary and is therefore followed with a laxative such as castor oil an hour later so the worms can be expelled in a bowel movement. Without a bowel movement they will recover.
It is generally recommended to continue this treatment for several days, with several days break and then repeat over the course of a couple of weeks.
Intestinal parasites are tenacious little things that can have a very negative effect on your health and energy and it seems many people are unknowingly infected with them. If you suspect a problem, consult a knowledgeable healthcare professional who understands how serious a problem parasites can be.
4. Cholesterol and Heart Disease
Pumpkin seed oil has high levels of phytosterols which are believed to help reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad type of cholesterol) by lowering its absorption when taken with a meal containing cholesterol. Research, such as this study by the Department of Internal Medicine at Washington University, has shown high levels of phytosterols in the diet significantly decreased cholesterol absorption and may be of benefit in lowering a person's risk of heart disease.
5. Arthritis
Taking pumpkin seed oil benefits your joints and the capsules are a popular supplement for the treatment of arthritic pain. The high levels of antioxidants, fatty acids and other compounds in pumpkin seed oil are often reported to help reduce inflammation in joints for sufferers of arthritis.
In fact, some research has shown the positive effects of pumpkin seed oil on arthritic inflammation is on a par with the anti-arthritis drug Indomethacin, without the negative side effects like elevated liver lipid peroxides.
6. Pumpkin Seed Oil Benefits for IBS Sufferers
Pumpkin Seed Oil for healthPumpkin seed oil may also help with the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The high fatty acid content is believed to reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and many people report a lessening of symptoms when they take pumpkin seed oil regularly.
Calories in Pumpkin Seed Oil
A tablespoon of pumpkin seed oil has around 120 calories, primarily from omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. We need these kind of fats in our diet though and the health nutrient content of foods like pumpkin seed oil should generally always come before considerations about calories.
A good pumpkin seed oil should be 100% pure, cold pressed and preferably organic grade. Pumpkin seed salad oil is a mixed product that may be of questionable quality, especially if it is blended with other unhealthy vegetable oils.
Pumpkin seed oil is very sensitive to light and heat so it's best to keep the bottled oil in the fridge. Stored this way, it should last for several months. Pumpkin seed oil capsules are also best kept in away from light and heat but are better kept in a cupboard.
Taken regularly, pumpkin seed oil benefits many aspects of our health. While it is best known for its positive effect on prostate health and hair loss, the wide range of nutrients in pumpkin seed oil are likely to be beneficial in other important areas, like enhancing our immune systems, improving skin tone and preventing inflammation.

Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Siberian Cedar Nut Oil is one of the most effective products for the prolongation of life. Just why is it so beneficial? The fact is that Siberian Cedar Nut Oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
It turned out that Cedar nut kernels contain more protein than in many types of meat. Moreover, the protein from the Cedar nut is assimilated by the body almost completely, which is also a great rarity. In addition, the nut contains almost all the amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins necessary for our body, as well as a wonderful collection of mineral substances and trace elements.
1. Unsaturated fatty acids constitute a prophylactic measure against atherosclerosis (the cause of one out of every two deaths!).
In the course of our entire lifespan a fatty substance is deposited on the walls of our vessels: bad cholesterol. At first, this results in the tissues and organs of our body receiving an insufficient amount of fresh blood, and the body begins little by little to become decrepit. In the end, the process may terminate with the complete obstruction of the vessels. At worst, the obstruction of the coronary arteries can lead to death from a heart attack; the obstruction of the vessels of the brain can lead to a stroke (cerebral hemorrhage); and the obstruction of the vessels of the extremities can lead to gangrene with the possibility of amputation. Unfortunately, heart attacks and strokes are affecting ever younger individuals.
You have no doubt heard that "like is dissolved by like." And so, there is a way to dissolve cholesterol deposits and to prevent cholesterol from being deposited in the future. To accomplish this, we need only to act on the fatty cholesterol with another, more active fat! These super-active fats include precisely polyunsaturated fatty acids.
In childhood I played table tennis. The success of the player in this sport strongly depends on the ability to put a spin on the ball - it makes it very difficult for the opponent to return. It is important here that the rubber covering on the paddle is perfectly clean and "clings" well. Over time, the covering becomes dirty and greasy, and putting a spin on the ball becomes impossible. My older friends suggested that I rub the covering with Siberian Cedar Nut Oil (an active fat), place the paddle in a plastic bag overnight, and in the morning wash the covering with soap. Indeed, after this procedure, the coverings were like new. This made a strong impression on me at the time, all the more so because good coverings were very expensive, and the ability to transform them in such a simple way seemed to be a miracle. But in principle, it was all very simple: the more active fat dissolved the fat on the coverings and, together with it, all the dirt. The situation is exactly the same with our vessels. The active polyunsaturated fatty acids of Siberian Cedar Nut Oil (omega-3 acids), taken regularly, dissolve cholesterol deposits on the walls of our vessels, and a person will never be taken ill with atherosclerosis!

2. Unsaturated fatty acids are the building material of the cells.
The casings of our cells, that is, the membranes, mainly consist precisely of polyunsaturated fatty acids. During the course of our vital activities, the membranes wear out, but are constantly renewed with the help of the "building materials" present in the organism. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are the most important of these. It is clear to everyone that, in the event of a lack of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the cells regenerate more poorly, and are more quickly destroyed and age. Especially dangerous is a deficiency of unsaturated fatty acids for the most delicate and vulnerable cells of the vessels of the brain and heart, and the heart itself.
3. Unsaturated fatty acids are prophylaxis against sudden death from cardiac arrest.
Scientists from the National Institute of Gerontology write: "At the present time, a connection has been demonstrated between the use of polyunsaturated fatty acids from natural products (Siberian Cedar Nut Oil contains unsaturated fatty acids - note R.D.) and so-called sudden death, which is usually regarded as a manifestation of acute cardiovascular pathology. In the USA, for example, it is well known that more than half of those who die suddenly did not have a history of cardiovascular disease, so therefore a practically universal prophylaxis is the most expedient course. It has been proven that even one dose of polyunsaturated fatty acids from natural products per week reduces the frequency of sudden death more than twofold. The presumptive influence of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet is a prophylactic measure for ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial hypoxia, and balancing the electrolyte metabolism and acid-base equilibrium."
Indeed, numerous sources indicate that a large number of people who died suddenly from cardiac arrest did not have any suspicion about possible problems with their heart. It is evident that, if the one-time use of polyunsaturated fatty acids from natural products in a week reduces the risk of sudden death more than twofold, the regular use of Siberian Cedar Nut Oil will provide much more benefit!
In addition to the three effects listed above, polyunsaturated fatty acids possess an entire range of remarkable beneficial properties:
- polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of many cancers;
- polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce arterial pressure (prophylaxis against dangerous hypertension);
- polyunsaturated fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect;
- polyunsaturated fatty acids strengthen the immune system (immunity is responsible for rejuvenation, etc);
- polyunsaturated fatty acids improve the viscosity of the blood (prophylaxis against blood clots, etc.);
- polyunsaturated fatty acids improve the condition of the skin, hair, etc.;
- finally, unsaturated fatty acids possess a moderate anti-oxidant effect.
|
In a word, the use of Siberian Cedar Nut Oil is extremely important, beneficial, and vitally essential for us. Many specialists regard Siberian Cedar Nut Oil as one of the most effective substances for the prolongation of life and preventive treatment for a variety of diseases! I will only add that polyunsaturated fatty acids are not synthesized in the body and, just as several dozen other elements, must necessarily come from the outside.
Siberian Cedar Nut Oil may be used at any age (the earlier, the better). The effective dose is up to several grams in a twenty-four hour period. There are no side effects or contraindications - this is, after all, a natural product. A course of treatment should last one to two months, with two to three courses of treatment in a year.

I cant recommend the cedar oil enough! I work strenuous hours and need to wake up in early hours of the morning with only a few hours of sleep for few days in a row, and sometimes without a day off for up to three weeks. I feel the stress both emotionally and mentally as I sit in the office staring at the computer screen, but the cedar nut oil has given me the boost during work in healthiest manner conceivable (not caffeine, sugar, pick-me up drinks etc) and removed sense of depression that was hanging over me. Its also doing wonder on my girlfriend's skin - she has been suffering from rashes and pimples.

Our Unique Production Technique:
The brand name "THE RINGING CEDARS OF RUSSIA" stands for business integrity, decency and the highest possible quality of product. All products marketed under this brand name convey the primordial power of Nature and the warmth of our hearts. We offer:
A variety of high-quality cedar products, including cedar nuts and cedar nut oil.
Huge plantations of cedar trees grow in the Siberian taiga, said to be the ecologically purest area of the world. The virgin forest of the taiga has never been treated with any chemicals or artificial fertilisation, nor abused by agricultural machines.
Cedar nuts (the seeds of the cedar tree) take two years to mature, during which time the tree accumulates a huge volume of positive cosmic energy. Crops of nuts are harvested manually by people lovingly devoted to this task, working in a pleasant environment without undue haste to create unique products full of positive energy reflecting the infinite powers of Nature. Specific preparations include:
We pick only cedar cones which fall naturally from the trees, thus ensuring that only ripe cones are selected. We always avoid hitting the trees to shake unripe cedar cones down (as happens with some other commercial operations) -- a practice which causes the nuts to lose their healing power.
Cones are then manually shelled with the help of wooden shell-removers. Nut centres are separated from their shells using wooden rollers.
Cedar nut oil and cedar nut flour marketed under our brand name are obtained by the cold-pressure method, using manual wooden oil-presses.
Cedar nut oil is then stored in special containers and packed in a small village near Novosibirsk by name "Kandayrovo" using unique technology to avoid any contact with metal. The whole process is strictly supervised to ensure it complies with all sanitary requirements.
Final products are placed in special packaging to prevent daylight penetration, and stored at a temperature of 0C to +5C to better preserve the product's natural components. The resulting product is a bright gold-coloured liquid with the pleasant smell of cedar nuts. It is a 100% natural product with strong healing powers.
SIBERIAN CEDAR NUT OIL
Siberian Cedar nuts (cedar nuts) contain about 60% oil. They are therefore pressed to obtain Cedar nut oil, which is available on the market as a very expensive gourmet cooking oil. Cold pressing in all-wooden presses is preferred to retain the nutritional properties of nuts and derive the oil of highest quality.
The Cedar nut oil bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand comes exclusively from wild-harvested Siberian Cedar nuts - one of the most nutritious Cedar nuts in the world. In comparison, other Cedar nut oils are usually pressed from the Italian pignolia Cedar nuts, which are not nearly as potent and are often harvested from trees growing in plantations. Our Siberian Cedar nut oil is extra virgin (100% cold pressed from freshly shelled raw Siberian Cedar nuts), whereas most Cedar nut oils on the market are either not cold pressed or even pressed from roasted (!) Cedar nuts, which significantly decreases the oil value. Finally, "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" Siberian Cedar nut oil is the only one which is available on the market anywhere in the world pressed with wooden presses in accordance with traditional techniques described in Vladimir Megre's life-changing book "The Ringing Cedars of Russia". In contrast, all other Cedar nut oils are pressed using steel presses, which immediately degrades them (contact with steel oxidizes some of the Cedar nut oil's most important ingredients such as vitamins, and is known to remove the 'life force' from the oil).
Cedar nut oil has also traditionally been used in ancient Russian and European natural medicine to cure a wide array of ailments - ingested (decreasing blood pressure, boosting immune system resistance, etc.) or applied externally (a range of dermatological disorders). It is also used in expensive cosmetics.
Cedar nut oil contains pinolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and is marketed in the U.S. as a means stimulate cell proliferation, prevent hypertension, decrease blood lipid and blood sugar, and inhibit allergic reactions.
