Improving
your prostate function…
The
alternative way!
Herbal
therapy
Herbs
or parts of various plants such as roots, seeds and leaves have been
used as medicines for as far as thousands of years. Usually a whole
plant, parts of a plant or extracts of either one or a combination of
plants are used in herbal medicines. Today, many people prefer to use
herbal medicines simply because they exert greater benefits at low
doses, low costs and are relatively safer compared to the allopathic
medical drugs. Like almost any other disease or disorder, herbs have
played a significant role in prostate, erectile and other diseases
treatments for years.
The
following herbs or herbal supplements are frequently used to improve
prostate health and function.
Saw
palmetto
Saw
palmetto (Serenoa repens) has scientifically proved and documented
prostate specific properties. It is widely used in many Asian,
African and European countries to treat BPH and prostatitis because
of the presence of sterols and free fatty acids as its major
constituents. Initial studies suggest that the effectiveness of saw
palmetto may be similar to that of the pharmaceutical drugs used to
treat BPH such as Finasteride.
Pollen
Extract: Cernilton
Pollen
extract is traditionally collected from the flowers of various plant
types and it contains carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins and
minerals .The particular pollen extract named cernilton has been
suggested to benefit a variety of urological conditions including
chronic prostatitis. It is believed that cernilton’s potent
anti-inflammatory properties and potential in treating symptomatic
relief of urinary pain and dysfunction often present in both CP/CPPS
and BPH is responsible for its potential use in chronic prostatitis.
Other
herbs
Some
of the other time-tested and recommended botanical for the health of
your prostate include Muira
Pauma, Epimedium Sagittatum, Tongkat Ali, Flaxseed, Maca, Cordyceps
and Ginseng. All of these
ingredients enjoy a long history of successful use for enhancing
sexual performance and are known to produce throbbing blood flow to
the penis that results in improved sexual control and stamina.
Conclusion
All
in all, despite of all the advancements in science and medical
research, the irony of the fact is that the medical profession still
does not really know how to improve your prostate health and function
in a safe and natural way. This inability to “cure” often leads
to frustration for both patients and doctors and yet opens new
horizons for the holistic side of therapy and alternative medicine.
