Holistic Prostate Remedies

Holistic remedies are possible health cures that lie outside the bounds of traditional Western medicine. These are generally all-natural herbs and fruit that can be found in most vitamin supplement shops. If you are undergoing prostate exams or may possibly have prostate cancer you may want to try some of these remedies.
  1. Pyguem

    • Pygeum is a bark extract taken from the <i>Prunus africana</i> tree. This particular tree can be found throughout Africa. This product can be used to help reduce and restrict the enlargement of your prostate. This doesn't have many effects on possible prostate cancer, but it will keep you from having urinary problems and allow you to go less frequently.

    Saw Palmetto

    • Saw palmetto is a supplement you should be taking for your daily health as it has been found to help with a variety of different prostate issues. This supplement, which comes from a spiny palm in the Southern United States, is actually in all male vitamin packages sold at GNC, one of the worlds largest vitamin and health supplement stores. In addition to being good for your prostate, saw palmetto is good for other health issues you may be having, including hair loss. Taken in conjunction with Rogaine and other hair products, saw palmetto will help you keep your regrown hair and will actually promote additional hair growth. A supplement that helps both prostate and hair health may be a good thing to have.

    Antioxidants

    • If you have a family history of prostate cancer you will want to be on extra guard against it. You can do this by eating a diet based more around fruits and vegetables than animals. This isn't to say you can't eat meat, but vegetables have large amounts of antioxidants, which have been known to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. If you are looking for an extra boost in these antioxidants you may want to try acai berry extract. The acai berry has more antioxidants than any other fruit on earth, and the supplement may give you that extra little boost to help stave off cancer.
