Prostate Problems

Natural Remedies for Prostate Health

Understanding Prostate Disorders

The prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ surrounding the urethra in men, plays a critical role in urinary and reproductive health. As men age, prostate-related conditions become increasingly common, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—a non-cancerous enlargement of the gland that can interfere with normal urination.

Other prostate concerns include prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate, often from infection) and prostate cancer, which require medical evaluation. Symptoms such as weak urine flow, frequent urination (especially at night), dribbling, and pelvic discomfort may indicate a developing issue that should not be ignored.

Newton’s Prostate Drops: Herbal and Homeopathic Support

A natural approach to maintaining prostate health, Newton’s Prostate Drops blend herbal extracts known for their anti-inflammatory, urinary, and immune-supporting properties. This formula may be helpful in managing early symptoms of BPH and supporting urinary function.

Key Ingredients in Newton’s Prostate Drops:

• Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens): Traditionally used to reduce prostate swelling and ease urinary flow in cases of BPH.

• Golden Rod (Solidago spp.): A soothing urinary tonic that may help reduce inflammation and support bladder health.

• Epilobium (Willowherb): Used in European herbal medicine to support healthy prostate tissue and urinary flow.

• Cleavers (Galium aparine): A lymphatic and urinary tonic that helps detoxify and support immune function.

• Echinacea: Strengthens the immune system and may help manage underlying inflammation contributing to prostate discomfort.

This remedy can be used long-term to help manage mild to moderate prostate enlargement and support the urinary system holistically.

Additional Herbal and Nutritional Support

Core Herbal Remedies

• Saw Palmetto Extract (160 mg twice daily): Helps reduce prostate size and alleviate symptoms like frequent or weak urination.

• Pygeum africanum (100 mg twice daily): Contains phytosterols that may reduce inflammation and improve urine flow.

• Nettle Root (250 mg twice daily): Supports hormone metabolism and enhances the effects of other prostate herbs.

Essential Fatty Acids

• Flaxseed Oil (1 tbsp or 14g daily): Rich in omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation and support glandular function.

Vitamins and Minerals

• Zinc (30 mg daily): Important for prostate function; helps reduce gland size in BPH.

• Copper (2 mg daily): Added to balance zinc supplementation.

• Vitamin E (400 IU daily): An antioxidant that supports tissue repair and may protect against cellular damage.

Amino Acids

A combination of glycine, alanine, and glutamine (500 mg each daily) may help relieve urinary symptoms in BPH when taken on an empty stomach. After one month, a broader amino acid complex can be added for continued support.

Homeopathy for Prostate Support

Homeopathic remedies may be taken at 6c or 6x potency three times daily. Gradually increasing to 12c or 30c can be considered based on individual progress.

• Baryta carbonica: For elderly men with prostate enlargement, sexual weakness, memory loss, and dribbling urination.

• Chimaphila: For difficulty initiating urination, urinary retention, and sensation of sitting on a ball.

• Conium: For hard, enlarged prostate with suppressed libido and incomplete urination due to pressure.

• Pulsatilla: For prostate inflammation with yellow discharge, testicular swelling, and burning perineal pain.

• Sabal serrulata: Suited for men with chronic BPH, low libido, testicular atrophy, and urinary dribbling.

• Thuja: For incomplete urination, thin urine stream, glandular swelling, and chronic urethral discharge.

These remedies are best prescribed by a qualified homeopath and monitored for response over several months.

Lifestyle Adjustments for Prostate Health

• Avoid decongestants and antihistamines which can worsen urinary retention.

• Reduce fluid intake in the evening to limit nighttime urination.

• Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages which can irritate the bladder.

• Limit spicy foods and processed meats that may increase inflammation.

• Exercise regularly to promote circulation and reduce pelvic congestion.

• Stay sexually active, as ejaculation can help clear the prostate ducts and reduce congestion.
