Enlarged Prostate, BPH
Two bottles of herbs that alleviate benign prostatic hyperplasia. One has 96 vegetarian capsules of western herbs--nettle root, pygeum and saw palmetto.
The other bottle of 96 capsules contains Varuna, Amla, mimosa pudica, moringa, guduchi, gokshura, punarnava, triphala. We encourage those with BPH to also take shilajit and drink Golden Milk (look on Recipe page for this) You can find it in this category.
According to Ayurveda, the reason for prostate problems is the buildup of toxins (Ama) in the body. Toxins can accumulate from various reasons. It can happen due to a poor diet and weakened digestion, but also from eating processed foods and calcium. It is best to eliminate all non-food calcium sources from your diet if you have symptoms of BPH.
It is important to get tested for atherosclerosis if you have prostate problems as this often occurs with BPH.
