Fewer Nighttime Trips: The Pumpkin Seed Tea Recipe
A simple pumpkin seed tea, one of the most traditional remedies for nighttime bathroom trips.
Waking up multiple times a night for the bathroom is one of the most common complaints tied to prostate health — and pumpkin seeds are one of the oldest, most well-known remedies for it.
What you'll need
- 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds, crushed
- 1 cup hot water
How to make it
- Crush the pumpkin seeds lightly to help release their oils.
- Add them to the hot water and let steep, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Strain and drink warm, ideally in the late afternoon rather than right before bed.
