Support for the Prostate
If you’ve ever suffered prostate-related pain, burning on urination, reduced urine flow, prosatitis, prostate infections, BPH, or an enlarged prostate … to say that healing and relief would be welcome indeed, is an understatement of epic proportion!
Certainly regular exercise, adequate hydration, and a healthy diet provide a good foundation for prostate health. However, once symptoms present, usually more is required to handle the situation.
Many individuals do not know that there are powerful herbal options that can come into play. Some of the best herbs for prostatic support come to us from the Amazon.
A high-quality formula for the prostate will contain all or most of the following herbs: nettle, jatoba, mutamba, graviola, Brazilian peppertree, vassourinha, cipa capeludo, pau d’arco, and anamu. This type of formula has no known contraindications or drug interactions.
However, since several of these herbs kill bacteria, they will also destroy your friendly digestive flora __ so supplementing with probiotics is advisable if this formula is used for longer than 30 days. In addition, individuals taking blood thinners and/or medication for high blood pressure should be monitored while on this formula.
Let’s look at some of the research on these powerful herbs.*
- Nettle root has been shown to help both BPH and prostatitis, due to its hormonal and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Jatoba, mutamba, and Brazilian peppertree have demonstrated antifungal and antibacterial properties.
- Graviola has shown both antimicrobial and anti-tumor properties.
- Vassourinha has shown analgesic (pain relieving), anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, and anti-fungal actions.
- Cipo capeludo is traditionally used in Brazilian herbal medicine for prostate problems.
- Pau d’arco has shown broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-tumor properties.
- Anamu has shown anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-mycoplasmal properties.
As you can see, a high-quality herbal formula of this type not only protects your prostate, it provides additional support for whole-body wellness. May this information help you and your loved ones in your quest for greater health and well-being!
