Inflamed Prostate-6 Natural Supplements to Treat

Inflamed Prostate: 6 Natural Supplements to Treat an Inflamed Prostate

Herbal remedies for urinary issues, such as frequency and burning, may offer powerful benefits without the harmful side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Antibiotics for prostatitis and pharmaceuticals to treat BPH and over-active bladder syndrome are conventional or “standard” therapies to promote easier urination. However, herbal and homeopathic approaches to prostate health may offer more natural remedies with fewer harmful side effects. Inflamed Prostate

Saw Palmetto

Of the three herbs best known for treating prostate disease (saw palmetto, nettle root and pygeum africanum), saw palmetto is the best studied. Studies have suggested that saw palmetto is effective in treating BPH by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which is believed to enlarge the prostate. The history of saw palmetto traces back 12,000 years to Florida aborigines and later the Seminole Indians who used it to treat impotence, inflammation of the prostate and low libido.

Beta-sitosterol Inflamed Prostate

This plant sterol is found in small quantities in pecans, saw palmetto, avocados, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, soybeans and pygeum africanum. But it is now marketed in highly concentrated forms as a supplement, usually in combination with saw palmetto. Beta-sitosterol is said to be about 3000 times more potent than saw palmetto. But like saw palmetto, the jury is still out on the efficacy on men with BPH and prostatitis. Beta-sitosterol is sometimes used in Europe as a supplement in the treatment of both prostate cancer and breast cancer. Inflamed Prostate

Pygeum Africanum Inflamed Prostate

This anti-inflammatory herb comes from an African evergreen tree. By reducing the hormone prolactin in the body, it lowers both the uptake and accumulation of testosterone in the prostate. European doctors, who have widely prescribed pygeum africanum for decades, believe it can also helpful in increasing urine flow and even improving sexual performance. Inflamed Prostate

Nettle Root

Like saw palmetto, nettle root (also known as stinging nettle) has anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit the enzyme involved with the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. In excess, dihydrotestosterone causes pathological prostate growth. Inflamed Prostate

Epilobium Parviflorum

This herb has been shown to have an anti-inflammation and healing effect on chronic and acute inflammation of the prostate and BPH. Many physicians recommend epilobium parviflorum for all men over the age of 50 as a way to prevent and maintain not only prostate health but a healthy bladder as well.

Omega 3

Fish oil is loaded with healthy omega-3, which has been shown by major researchers to reduce inflammation in the body and can help prevent the development of prostate cancer. Dietary sources include fish and nut oils. Inflamed Prostate

Consult a Nutritionist First Inflamed Prostate

In Europe and other countries, physicians seem more open to natural prostate supplements than American doctors and widely prescribe them. The one herbal exception might be saw palmetto, which is increasingly recommended by U.S. physicians, especially to treat BPH.

The issue for mainstream U.S. physicians seems to be a lack of hard-core science that supports recommending many herbal remedies. You might find a more receptive ear by consulting a nutritionist, or perhaps an alternative medical practitioner or even an acupuncturist. These professionals can help you find supplements that work best for you. Inflamed Prostate

While supplements can play an important role in prostate health, they shouldn’t be taken mindlessly. In addition to talking with a kind of medical expert, you want to maximize safety, therapeutic dosage, and, efficacy by always sourcing your remedies from a reputable company.

Aries horoscope love compatibility

HOROSCOPE LOVE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN ARIES AND ARIES ARIES AND ARIES:   it may be an intense love affair, but neither of the 2 Aries is satisfied with not having the lead. The Aries female objectively tends to dominate. Yet, Aries male too. Therefore there will be a big opposition to be number one, at least during the first days of the relationship. In the bedroom too, both Aries will engage a fierce struggle to dominate the other. The relationship between two Aries may be good though if each has outside interests and/or a career separate from the other. As a matter of a fact, when their energies are not always in the same room and when each partner can satisfy the natural Aries’ will to dominate, the relationship between two Aries is intensely passionate and less destructive. HOROSCOPE LOVE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN ARIES AND TAURUS ARIES AND TAURUS:   That’s a difficult match. Taurus likes to stay at home, is possessive and jealous, characteristics highly conflicting with Aries’...

Purebred Dogs - What, me resemble my dog?

Purebred Dogs - What, me resemble my dog?  More than meets the eye…. We’ve all seen those articles that infer that a dog owner begins to take on the outward appearance of their dog. I for one, feel I have little physically in common with my dog (a KBT). I’m sure you would agree this premise does not have enough documentation! Certainly I did not choose Maggie because she would resemble me! People own dogs for different reasons and in an earlier article I dealt with choosing your pet based on exercise time, training time, home alone time, grooming time, and physical attributes. Now I’d like to look at the less objective reasons for dog ownership. Are dog owners of the same breed similar? Do you fit the profile of other owners for your breed? Check How dogs and their Owner’s Personalities are Similar where significant research is posted on the similarities among owners of same breeds as compared to other dog breed owners. This site is worth a visit if you own, or if you are...
