Properties of Pumpkin used by Aztecs
Useful in Fighting: Worms, Tapeworm, Hemorrhoids, Nervousness and Used as a Cerebral Tonic.
Aztec Method of Use
To obtain the best results in the expulsion of
Tapeworms and worms,
The ill patient must not eat for 24 hours,
then before bed take a laxative of 30 grams of Castor oil;
the following day, grind 30 grams of Pumpkin seeds without the husks or shell,
sweeten with
Sugar to taste, and eat with a half glass of milk.
After 2 hours, take another laxative made with 30 grams of Castor oil or sodium sulfate.
Some therapists recommend dividing the treatment into 2 days,
the first, on an empty stomach, take 50 grams of Pumpkin seeds husked,
grounded up and sweetened, with a glass of milk;
the following day the same but add a dose of 40 grams of Castor oil.
In case you do not get satisfactory results, repeat the operation but
Only After 2(two) Months Have Passed.
Still on the subject of
Tapeworm and worms, some people prefer to prepare an orgeat using 100 grams of Pumpkin seeds, whole, 5 grams of fresh apple mint, and 1
quart of cold milk and brown
Sugar or bee honey to taste. Liquefy the ingredients in a blender and drink daily in the morning instead of a breakfast, do this for 3 days and on the last day, 1 hour after dose has been taken, ingest a laxative of 60 grams of Castor oil.
This treatment is for adults and children over 8 years old,
for children that are 4 to 7 years old give half of the described treatment,
and for children that are 1 to 3 years old give 1/4 of the above described treatment.
Likewise feed the patient fresh foods, in preference fruits and juices avoiding spicy or hot foods.
For Cerebral Tonicity, Hemorrhoids and Nervousness, it is recommended to eat cooked pumpkin.
If Raw Pumpkin is placed over a burn it will calm the pain and promote rapid healing
