Answer my health question: Is there an herbal remedy for enlarged prostate?

My question for the herbalist....

Is there a natural herbal program for enlarged prostate?

Yes, men have found the use of herbs, diet and exercise to help with prostate issues. When the prostate gets larger, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. Enlargement is usually harmless, but it often results in problems urinating later on in life. By age 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary interference due to prostate enlargement. Pressure on the urethra and can create a number of urinary problems such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, getting up at night to urinate, difficulty starting, a reduction to the force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder and even the inability to urinate at all.

It is important to have prostate checked regularly. Enlarged prostate, prostetitis (inflammation of the prostate) can be diagnosed and the doctor can suggest traditional treatments with medications as needed. Early treatment can avoid complications later on.

Natural alternatives to deal with enlarged prostate include:
Drinking less liquids near bedtime.

Eating a wholesome diet including lots of fruits and vegetables and low on unsaturated fats, sugars and processed foods.

Men can do Kegal exercises too by pulling up all the muscles around scrotum and anus. Repeat the movement 10 times, 5 or 6 times a day. This will improve blood circulation.

Herbs for prostate problems:
Saw Palmetto – Relieves testicular inflammation and inhibiting the hormone responsible for prostate enlargement.

Zinc – known as a good essential trace element for inflamed prostates. Studies have shown that zinc deficiency results in prostate enlargement.

Korean Ginseng – another herb that can reduce the enlarged prostate. It increases the levels of testosterone and blocks the action of DHT and estrogens on cell growth.
