Prostate Enlargement
Nearly 60% of men between the ages of 40 and 60 years many men have an enlarged prostate gland, a condition known as Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). Symptoms typically reflect obstruction of the bladder outlet leading to progressive urinary urgency, nocturnal urgency, with a dull ache in the lower stomach area or even blood in the semen or urine or retained urine. If untreated, it can lead to prostatis or cystitis and lead to dangerous pressure on the kidneys and bladder. The normal aging process in men favours the development of BPH due to a variety of factors, including age-related alteration in hormone levels. Alcohol and stress can also exacerbate this problem. Many physicians believe that the only solution is surgery, which has its own complications, but many herbs, and dietary changes, have proven to be very effective.
Nutrition
Consume plenty of zinc-rich foods, as this normalizes testosterone production. (Zinc can boost the immune defences, but excessive intake can undermine and impede the immune system. Herbs rich in zinc include: skullcap herb, Siberian ginseng root, nettle leaf and chickweed herb, all of which can be taken for their general tonic properties. Zinc-rich foods include sea vegetables, shellfish, organically grown pumpkin seeds, pumpkins, sunflower seeds, garlic, capsicums, mushrooms, bilberries and soya beans. Also eat plenty of grains, fresh vegetables and fruit.
Steer absolutely clear of coffee, tea, alcohol, sugar and refined foods.
Drink lots of barley water (enquire for recipe) and water with lemon juice.
Natural Healing
Some medical practitioners feel that the cause of the enlargement is an accumulation of testosterone in the prostate itself. Using up the testosterone is possibly an answer, continue sport and work with continued zeal, if you can. If the prostate feels hot and unbearably inflamed, and urination is painful - please seek professional help.
Take regular exercise to increase circulation and oxygen to the area. Do not wear tight trousers
Hot and cold showers will also increase circulation and oxygen to the area.
Herbs
Use herbs that will generally help to balance the hormones and strengthen the kidney and bladder in the long term like: saw palmetto berry, damiana leaf. (Enquire about Male balance Formula or Special Prostate Formula).
If there is any infection, add culinary herbs like garlic, coriander leaf and turmeric to your food.

Metaphysical
Prostrate represents the masculine principle, so problems in that area represent, ‘Mental fears weaken the masculinity. Giving up. Sexual pressure and guilt. Belief in aging.’
Affirmation: ‘I accept and rejoice in my masculinity. I love and approve of myself. I accept my own power. I am forever young in spirit.’
