The use of organic pumpkin seed oil can benefit people in good blood circulation, anxiety, stress, depression, hair loss, inflammatory conditions, hormonal imbalances, enlarged prostate, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, various skin conditions, and osteoporosis.

It comes from pumpkin seeds and has been traditionally produced in parts of Europe for over 300 years.

Cucurbita pepo is the scientific name for pumpkins, but there are dozens of varieties and subspecies from which this oil is now produced.

The polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in significant quantities in this oil, including oleic, linoleic, palmitic, stearic, linolenic, and other fatty acids, are the active ingredients that provide most of the health benefits associated with this oil.

In culinary applications, it is used as a salad dressing, in desserts, or even added to soups and stews for a sweet flavor. However, it is not used as a cooking oil.

Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is used either on its own or in combination with other carrier oils for even better results. Finally, it is important to know that carrier oils are necessary in aromatherapy to serve as the "carrier" to which essential oils will be added.
