Herbal Remedies for Prostrate Disorders
May 18, 2009
As men age, prostate disorders become more common. The prostate gland, about the size of a walnut, produces fluid that is a component of semen. Located below the bladder and in front of the rectum, the prostate surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes.
Prostate disorders also have been called a nutritional disease. Prostate dysfunction is more common in countries that emphasize foods derived from animals, such as red meat, eggs and dairy products.
These foods also accumulate environmental toxins such as growth hormones. In contrast, diets rich in vegetables and fruits have been found to have a protective effect on the prostate gland.
Most prostate disorders result in swelling, pain, burning, sexual dysfunction and problems urinating. If not treated early, prostate disorders can lead to prostate cancer and/or problems with the bladder and kidneys.
All men should have annual health check-ups from about age 45. This should include a physical examination of the prostate gland, a urinalysis and a blood test for the level of prostate-specific antigens (PSA).
Home remedies for Prostrate Disorders focus on keeping the prostate gland healthy.
Take 50 to 90 grams of pumpkin seeds daily. Pumpkin seeds contain fatty acids that benefit healthy prostrate glands. Include foods rich in zinc and Vitamin E in the diet.
These include whole grains, vegetables, seeds, sprouts, milk and fruits. Drink a mixture of 300 ml of spinach juice and add 200 ml of carrot juice daily. Spinach and carrots contain high levels of “AKC” – Vitamins A, K and C that do wonders for an enlarged prostate.
Avoid smoking, alcohol, sugar and caffeine. These stimulants can contribute to enlarging the prostate. Drink lemon juice mixed in water each waking hour for three days.
This will increase the urine flow, which will help keep the prostate gland from swelling. Eat fruits rich in water contents such as watermelon to increase urine flow. Drink plenty of water as well. Eat four or five smaller meals daily rather than two or three large ones. This will help to keep all bodily systems in balance.
