| Medicinal Herbs for Enlarged Prostate | Nowadays men apply natural remedies too, because they want to maintain their men's health and relieve such problems as enlarged prostate, impotence and infertility.
Enlarged prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is one of these problems. Herbs applied for enlarged prostate treatment have proved their effectiveness in the treatment of difficult urination, polyuria or frequent urination and symptoms associated with BPH. Herbs reduce urinary tract symptoms too (LUTS).
Herbal treatment for enlarged prostate is a substitute of surgery or synthetic medications. It is recommended to diagnose BPH before applying any herbs or herbal supplements. One should keep in mind that Prostate Cancer and BPH differ and the herbs given below treat BPH only.
Pay attention to the herbs applied for treatment of Enlarged Prostate (BPH).
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa serulata/repens)
It is also known as Sabal. The berries of this herb are the most widespread remedy for BPH. Saw Palmetto increases urinary flow rate and relieves prostate symptoms, it has less side effects comparing with synthetic medications.
Saw Pametto inhibits an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase, that is responsible for swelling in the prostate. Saw Palmetto is so popular, because it relieves within a short period of time and provides the improval of their symptoms. Sabal applied together with Stinging Nettle lessens the side effects of BPH after only some weeks’ apply.
It was researched, that micturation (urinating during the night) has become less frequent during the night; the urgency of needing to urinate has decreased too. These herbs have the ability to increase the volume of urine and reduce the time of urination. Thus, life quality improves and the quantity of side effects becomes less.
Pygeum (Pygeum africanum)
It is evergreen tree that grows across Africa above one thousand metres. Phytosterols included in the bark have proved their anti-inflammatory influence to the prostate and they lessen the bladder’s sensitivity to the necessity to urinate. Pygeum inhibits the proliferation of cells that have BPH, and leads to the prostate’s reduction in size. Being applied together with saw palmetto and stinging nettle, Pygeum treats BPH.
Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica)
The root of this herb treats enlarged prostate too. Nettle slows the growth of some prostate cells, but it does not reduce prostate size. Stinging Nettle relieves the symptoms of decreased urinary flow, frequent urination and problems with the emptying of the bladder.
Vitamins and minerals are also used for enlarged prostate treatment. Zinc, Selenium, Lycopene, Vitamins A, C and E maintain prostate health and many herbal supplements for enlarged prostate include these vitamins and minerals in their contents. Before starting herbal treatment for enlarged prostate it is advised to be diagnosed and consult a qualified practitioner.
