Enlarged Prostate
BPH Treatment with Natural Herbs
Guide to best prostate herb
Enlarged prostate
condition also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
occurred naturally in men as a consequence of aging.
Enlarged prostate symptoms include weak & slow urinary stream,
hesitancy and straining to urinate,
frequent nighttime urination, and incomplete emptying of the
bladder. More serious
prostate problems include recurrent urinary tract infections and
kidney damage.
Forty percent of men aged
50 - 60, and 90% between the ages of 80 & 90 show evidence of an
enlarged prostate. There are several safe and effective herbs
commonly used to reduce BPH symptoms.
Among herbal remedies, saw palmetto seems to be the most promising.
Saw palmetto is an herb that grows naturally within the southeast
United States, particularly in Florida. It helps men with
enlarged prostate symptom by decreasing the size of the prostate
(by over 60% for some patients). Furthermore, one large analysis of
studies done on this herb found that saw palmetto reduced
frequent nighttime urination by 25% and other bothersome
complaints by 28% when compared to a placebo. After reviewing 21 studies involving
more than 3,000 men averaging 65 years of age, doctors reporting in
the journal American Family Physician concluded that
saw palmetto
extract is a beneficial and one of the affordable supplements for
prostate help (Gordon 2003)
