Herbal Prostate Treatment – 4 Herbs To Help Enlarged Prostrates

Nettle

Nettle is a common herbal prostate treatment used in Europe. A University of Maryland Medical Center report from 2011 suggests that it is effective in relieving symptoms like incomplete emptying of the bladder and dripping, especially when combined with other herbs like saw palmetto.

Nettle seems to have the same effect as finasteride in slowing the growth of prostate cells. The report suggests that nettle has chemicals that affect hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. Herbal Legacy reports that because nettle is diuretic, it can also improve the secretion and flow of urine. It can thus be helpful against infections in the bladder that might affect prostate health as well.

Nettle also has great anti-lithic and nephridic qualities, which means it can break down kidney stones and gravel in the bladder.

Nettle tea, for instance, is a great herbal prostate treatment with very few side effects.

Rye grass pollen

Rye grass pollen, often also known as cernilton, is an effective herbal prostate treatment. Doctor Ray Sahelian says there are multiple important compounds in rye grass pollen that can help prevent the growth of prostate cells. These are cyclic hydroxamic acid, stigmasterol and quercetin. These all help to prevent certain inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes from functioning.

Rye grass pollen also has an effect on testosterone. It can help relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate by relaxing the urethra and thus helping with easier and pain free urination.

Rye grass pollen can cause allergic reactions if you have grass allergies, so don’t use it if that is the case.
