Kat I'm happy to hear you have found something that is working for you! If you have ever studied Chinese healing, pumpkin and squash seeds have a neutral thermal nature. They influence the colon and spleen-pancreas. Not only diuretic but high in zinc and omega-3. Like flax, also high in omega-3 and 6. I have read that roasting will damage omega-3 fatty acids though. Just a reminder to you Kat, tamari is just a wheat-free soy sauce, high in sodium. About 940 mg. per Tbls. If it works for you, that's all that counts!
To your health! Peace. Rustic
PS- I have always had great blood pressure. I eat raw garlic every day and deep breathing exersises.
