Herbs For Men Can Naturally Treat Male Health Conditions

Herbs for men help treat the specific health needs of the male population. Along with the many therapeutic herbal extracts that promote general health and well-being, there are a number of natural herbs that have been shown to treat particular conditions that affect men as they go through life. 

Take a look at the issues below and how you can prevent/treat them with safe, natural options...

Prostate Enlargement & Cancer

Saw Palmetto - an herb from a small palm tree native to the Atlantic seaboard, saw palmetto is the most popular and researched prostate herb. It contains beta sitosterol, a powerful compound that interferes with the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Studies show that it shrinks enlarged prostates and relieves urinary problems.

Red Clover - a member of the pea family, red clover contains powerful antioxidants that fight off cancerous growths. It stops DHT formation, thusinhibiting enlargement of the prostate gland and the symptoms that accompany it.

Other important nutrients for prostate health

In addition to prostate herbs, the following nutrients are important...

Zinc - an important mineral for many bodily processes, a zinc deficiency predisposes the prostate gland to infection, which could eventually lead to enlargement.

Vitamin B6 - along with zinc, Vitamin B6 regulates the hormone that converts testosterone to DHT, and helps prevent swelling of the prostate.

Lycopene - this extract from tomatoes contains powerful antioxidants that may be able to reduce BPH inflammation and prevent prostate cancer.

Impotence & Low Male Libido

Impotence is a problem that affects millions of men, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, depression, low hormone levels and alcholism, among others. Herbs for impotence treat the condition in three ways:

1. There are herbs that relax the mind so that it can concentrate on sexual feeling and activity.

2. There are herbs that promote circulation through the body, particularly to the penis.

3. There are herbs that help balance the body's sexual hormone levels.

Best Impotence Herbs For Men

Ginkgo Biloba - Gingko improves circulation to the penis as well as acts to alleviate the symptoms of depression which may be a cause of impotence. Gingko also stimulates the mind and helps with concentration.

Gotu Kola - Gotu kola improves circulation as well as enhances mental performance and concentration.

Muira Puama - Muira puama has been shown to increase both male and female sex drive, as well as help maintain erections. Muira puama may also help balance sexual hormone levels.

Tribulus -Tribulus has been shown to help with impotence and infertility, as well as stimulate hormone production.

Other important nutrients for impotence

L-Arginine - this essential amino acid has been shown to increase blood flow to the penis.

What are the best supplements for men?

We are often asked, "Should I take these herbs separately or am I better off with a more comprehensive supplement that contains many of these nutrients?"

It's a great question.  Most experts recommend that you take them all together for several reasons:

1. Taking each herb, vitamin and mineral separately could prove very costly as you would have to buy many different supplements.

2. Mixing and matching nutrients on your own could be dangerous to your health.

3. Many herbs and nutrients working together can offer more therapeutic benefits, often better than a single nutrient on its own.

4. All of these nutrients have to be balanced perfectly in order to be optimally effective.

We have found two great natural supplements that contain special herbs for men as well as other nutrients for male health and overall health.

The first product is called Total Balance Men's Premium and it is a high quality daily supplement that combines all of the herbs, vitamins and minerals for general wellness with specific ingredients that address men's health issues.  You can think of this as a multivitamin geared towards men.

The second product is called Prostate-Support and it contains specific ingredients that help maintain and support the prostate, including stinging nettles and saw palmetto.

Many of our male editors and visitors have experienced success with these two specialty supplements. They have used them for their herbs for men as well as its many other therapeutic benefits and have noticed significant results.

As with all health supplements, results vary from person to person so be sure to consult your physician or qualified herbal professional before taking any herbs for men or herbal supplements.
