Today I saw yellow and beautiful pumpkins and I instantly remembered the following recipe. Those who will use this recipe will see what a valuable blessing the pumpkin is. All we need is just a medium-sized pumpkin and some honey. First of all, cut off the pumpkin from the top so that you are able to put your hand in it. After cutting, remove the seeds and fill the pumpkin with honey until it gets full (if you can’t find honey, you can use sugar powder, too). Place the cover you cut from the top and place it in a cool, dark place. After two days, the inside of the pumpkin will be like syrup which means you can use it. This process may last 3 or 4 days depending on the thickness of the pumpkin. Pour the syrup into a glass container and close it. Keep in a refrigerator. Drink 100 grams of this syrup in the morning on an empty stomach. If you have anemia, you can drink 100 grams in the evening before bed, too.
Benefits:
All the active substances inside the pumpkin can be found in this syrup. Beta carotene in the pumpkin is converted to Vitamin A in the body; it makes the skin smooth and beautiful, and illuminates the eyes. It is effective against hair loss, and it is an antioxidant against tumors. Iron and zinc in the pumpkin are good for anemia, fatigue, depression and dizziness. In general, the pumpkin is considered to be prophets’ food. In addition to being a very healthy vegetable, it also regulates the work of the liver since it eliminates deficiencies arisen as a result of liver diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver etc. It is quite useful for cardiac function as well because it cleans the inner wall of the veins, lowers harmful cholesterol levels, and it is effective against intestinal worms and spleen and liver growth. It also increases the activity of the kidneys. In addition to being useful in renal failure and kidney sands, it also has a therapeutic effect on renal inflammation. It is perfect for prostate growth. It greatly enhances immunity and increases sexual desire. It is also effective in the treatment of infertility. Dip a piece of cotton in this syrup and apply it on your face before bed and wait for 30 minutes. In addition to being useful for freckles and rash on the face, it protects the face from drying, makes it elastic and increases resistance against allergens. I have not even mentioned half of the benefits in order not to make you feel bored. Those with high blood pressure and diabetics can use it in small doses. Remember that diabetics can drink only one glass of pumpkin syrup a day. It is not harmful for them at all; on the contrary, it is very useful. To make the syrup even tastier, squeeze 5-7 lemons into it and mix it.
