- Grass pollen has been shown to improve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Using pollen from mostly rye grass (with a little timothy and corn grass mixed in), can significantly reduce the number of nighttime trips to the bathroom--a common symptom of an enlarged prostate. Grass pollen can additionally decrease the size of an enlarged prostate.
- Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) roots can considerably reduce the symptoms of en enlarged prostate. Stinging nettle inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to cytosolic receptors in the human body, thereby fighting an enlarged prostate condition. DHT is the hormone that doctors believe causes the multiplication of prostate cells.
- For a long time, zinc has been utilized as an effective remedy against an enlarged prostate. Those with an enlarged prostate are encouraged to take between 50 and 100 milligrams of zinc each day. This will typically help shrink the enlarged prostate and return the individual to health. For decades, it has been known that a deficiency of zinc in the body can cause enlargement of the prostate. It thus makes sense that a zinc supplement, taken daily, can reverse the condition.
- Along the shorelines of Florida and Georgia grows the saw palmetto (Serenoa repens). Saw palmetto works effectively against an enlarged prostate, since it inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
