Natural Treatments for prostrate health:Pygeum supplement as a cure for prostate dysfunction and enlarged prostrates 

Over half of 40-59 year-old men have enlarged prostates (swolen prostrates), and, although most will not develop clinically significant disease, one fourth of 50-year olds have some cancerous cells in their prostate.

Pygeum africanum for prostate (pigeum, pygium, pydgeum) is a popular and effective supplelment for prostrate health. Pygeum africanum and nettle root are not as studied as saw palmetto. While both will also result in making passing urine easier for men with enlarged prostates, most probably by effecting a reduction of the size of the gland, the mechanism by which this happens is not precisely known.

In traditional African medicine, a tea made from the powdered bark of a tall evergreen tree (Pygeum africanum)is sipped to control urinary disorders in men. Today, pygeum is a popular herbal supplement in several parts of the world for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urination problems. This harmless condition affects most men over age 50, commonly causing urinary problems.

Pygeum has been approved for treating mild to moderate BPH in Europe since the early 1970s. The bark appears to work by reducing inflammation, promoting urination, and ridding the prostate of cholesterol deposits that can occur with BPH. Symptoms of prostate problems may ease as a result. Pygeum’s use in treating impotence and male infertility has also been explored.

Other natural cures for prostrate healing and health include:

Lycopene supplements for Prostate (lysopene, licopene, lycoprene lisopene)-is a powerful natural antioxidant,  found in red foods like tomato based foods, guavas, watermelon and pink grapefruit.

Zinc supplements for prostate
Selenium supplements for prostate (celenium, silenium, selinium, cilinium, cilenium, celinium) (found naturally in Brazil nuts)

Genistein supplement for prostate (genestein, ginestein, ginestien, ginistein, genestien) found in soy based foods.

Saw Palmetto The most widely used supplement for prostrate health, and probably the best supplement for an enlarged prostate (prostrate), is Saw palmetto (saw palemetto, saw palmetto, saw pametto) which some studies suggest is more effective than proscar, with less side effects

Stinging nettle (neddle) supplelment for prostrate health is a traditional herbal folk remedy for many ailments, including prostate disorders. Clinical studies indicate that the herb (marketed as Bazoton in Europe) also can relieve BPH symptoms.
