What herbs for prostate health?

There are quite a lot of herbs for treating the prostate. In this article, we will list the most important and most recommended.

Small-flowered willowherb

This plant is most often used to fight prostate diseases. It grows wild all over Poland, so you can easily harvest it yourself. Wierzbownica belongs to the family of evening primrose plants and occurs in over 600 species. Many of them have healing properties. There are 14 species in Poland, and 7 of them have health properties. In the treatment of prostate diseases, the best results are achieved by Epilobium parviflorum.

We find it mainly near water, because it is the environment that this plant likes. Therefore, we can meet her in the vicinity of lakes, ponds, rivers, but also in forests, ditches or in a meadow. The plant, although seemingly thin and weak, hides the power of valuable plant ingredients that have a healing effect. These include fatty acids, tannins, tannins, phytosterols, and flavonoids. They have a number of valuable properties – anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, detoxifying, anti-cancer, anti-androgenic.

Small-flowered willowherbium reaches a size of up to 60 cm, the flowers are small and delicate, purple and purple in color. It blooms from June to September.

Phytosterols and flavonoids are responsible for reducing inflammation in the prostate gland, which has been scientifically proven (up to 10 times greater than chemicals).

Action

Willowherb infusion reduces the concentration of prostaglandin, a hormone responsible for inflammation in the prostate. It also reduces the growth of the epithelium, which protects against prostate cancer.

Collecting

Willowherb should be harvested during the flowering period. Most medicinal ingredients are found in the stem and flowers. Once harvested, it can be tied up and hung with flowers downwards or placed loosely on the table. Dry in a moderately sunny place. After drying, cut and crumble. Keep in a jar in a dark place.

Saw palmetto

A plant native to North America. In Poland it is known as a potted plant. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) has its medicinal properties mainly in the fruit, which when dried, is brown-black in color, and the smell is described as less pleasant.

Fruits contain phytosterols, flavonoids, fatty acids, and galactose. Phytosterols reduce the swelling of the prostate gland, which allows urine to flow better. It only works to reduce symptoms, but does not cure the condition itself.

Saw palmetto is also used to treat alopecia and erectile dysfunction. It is an ingredient of many herbal blends for the prostate.
