Keep Your Prostate Healthy with Echinacea

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a typically referred to as an enlarged prostate gland and is a common condition in men as they age. Symptoms usually arise as problems with urination.⁽⁶¹⁾

Results of an animal study designed as a human model of BPH suggest that Echinacea purpurea could help prevent or treat this common prostate condition. Treatment with E. purpurea for 8 weeks significantly:⁽⁶¹⁾

• Reduces the size and weight of enlarged prostate.
• Reverses prostate cell damage.

In another animal study, a combination of echinacea and saw palmetto reduced symptoms of prostatitis. Lab tests also suggest echinacea may help prevent prostate cancer.^(123, 124)
