<h1>Prostate Health Part 4 - How to Prevent and Treat Enlarged Prostate and Prostate Cancer With Herbs</h1>Author: <a title="Kyle J. Norton" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/kyle-j.-norton/75563.htm">Kyle J. Norton</a> As we mentioned in the previous articles, we know that starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT thus triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged prostate is to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Besides aging there are many other causes of enlarged prostate and some of them might result in prostate cancer. In this article, we will discuss how to use herbs to prevent and treat an enlarged prostate as well as prostate cancer. 1. Saw palmetto Saw palmetto is the number one choice when it comes to prostate health. Recent study of American Society for Cell Biology shows that saw palmetto inhibited prostate cancer cell growth in the test tube. It has been used for a long time as an herb to treat an enlarged prostate gland in men. It may also be used to treat prostate cancer. This herbal remedy has no significant side effects and only rarely causes mild stomach upset or diarrhea. 2. American Ginseng The roots, has been used for centuries in Asian medicine as an aphrodisiac, a tonic for well being and a curative. American Ginseng is helpful in treating prostate problems due to low testosterone and androgen levels. It also inhibits cancer cells proliferation in a variety of cancer such as lung cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer. 3. Corn silk Corn silk contains certain therapeutic properties that help to relieve the inflammation of the prostate. Corn silk are also popular as an alternative to standard Western allopathic medicine for treating bed-wetting and obesity. 4. Pumpkin seed extract Pumpkin seeds contain high amounts of zinc and fatty acids which is necessary for the prostate's health. Pumpkin seed extract helps to tone the bladder muscles, relax the sphincter mechanism and recongest the prostate. 5. Pygeum Africanum Pygeum Africanum is rich in phytosterols, the substances that inhibit the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, which is the process responsible for prostate inflammation. Phytosterols also help to reduce the size of the prostate, promote normal urination and reduce cholesterol deposits in the prostate that can occur with BPH. 6.Essiac Essiac is useful to regulate prostate gland function, stimulates gland activities, promote circulation of blood, relieves pain and inflammation and may permit increase sexual activities. Study shows that essiac possesses potent antioxidant and DNA-protective activity, properties that are common to natural anti-cancer agents. 7.Uva ursi Uva ursi is an evergreen perennial shrub. It has been used since the year 150AD by various civilizations to treat urinary tract infections, kidney problems, Prostate, and bladder dysfunction. 8. Soy isoflavones Study shows that an increased soy intake is related to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Vitro tests showed that soy isoflavone inhibits growth of both androgen-sensitive and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. I hope this information will help.
