Cancer Fighting Herbs that Keep Your Prostate Healthy
1. Suma
Not widely known in the US, Suma regulates and improves the endocrine system. Digestive and cardiovascular system, as well as boosts the immune system. It contains lots of essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids, trace elements, as well as a powerful immune system stimulator, a trace element called germanium. It’s this substance that is thought to give Suma cell building and regenerating effects by bringing more oxygen to the cells.
2. Astragalus
This herb has a strange name, but it really stimulates the immune system. It increases stem cells in both the bone marrow and lymph tissues. It triggers immune cells to go from a resting state to an active state. It also activates natural killer cells and T-cells. The polysaccharides this herb contains were shown in some studies to activate the immune-mediated anti-tumor activity of interleukin-2. This means it improved the response of lymphocytes in both normal subjects and those with cancer as well.
3. Hydrangea Root
More than just a pretty flower, the root from these plants contains glycosides, resins, saponins, rutin, flavonoids, and essential oils. This root extract is well recognized as working to treat enlarged or inflamed prostate glands.
4. Saw Palmetto
This is usually the first thing men think of when they think of prostate health. It is often used as the first line of defense against BPH. Many urologists will recommend taking this herb if you have early symptoms, such as frequent urination. It works by blocking the production of the hormone that causes the prostate to enlarge. Although scientists aren’t sure why this hormone causes this enlargement, but they do know that saw palmetto stops the body from making more of it. This herb helps millions of men every year and has absolutely no side effects what so ever. If you find that you don’t get relief from taking this herb, try another brand. The exact active ingredient in this herb has yet to be identified so the many different formulations that exist can be the problem. The herb works, without a doubt, so try another brand if you don’t get the results you want within 30 days.
5. Red Clover
Used to treat a wide variety of issues – from the hot flashes of menopause to infertility in women to psoriasis – red clover is full of isoflavones, the same protein that is found in soybeans. The problem with consuming soybeans is that they are mostly GMO nowadays. Red clover not only has been shown to inhibit prostate and other cancerous tumors, but it can also help those with BPH. One study showed that red clover improved urine flow and lowered other problematic symptoms by as much as 23 percent.
6. African Tree Bark
This remedy is so popular in Africa and Europe that this tree is now on the endangered species list! African Tree Bark (pygeum africanum) brings relief from many symptoms and reduces the swelling of the prostate by reducing inflammation. Many people use this bark along with saw palmetto for best results.
