Please be aware that the study of the therapeutic ramifications of taking any medication, including herbal supplements, is far from an exact science. Some sources, presumably in an effort to present an impression of providing responsible, guarded and cautionary advice, present a mountainous list of “possible” side effects, interactions and contraindications for which they neither quote, nor can we find, supporting evidence. Others simply steer clear of the subject..
Hopefully we have steered a middle course. Where there are well-established precautions to be observed we have pointed those out. Where sources make statements for which there is no supporting evidence we have not included such statements.
We value our reputation as a provider of reliable, high quality and non-sensational and non-alarmist information on the therapeutic value of herbs. That includes advice on adverse side effects and interactions with other medications where they is evidence to support such advice.
We strongly suggest that you seek professional advice on the use of herbal supplements if they are to be used to treat a specific condition, rather than as a dietary supplement taken to improve one's general feeling of wellbeing. If you do seek advice, please do so from someone who is qualified to advise on the therapeutic ramifications, good and bad, of using herbs for medicinal purposes. That would have to be a qualified herbalist or, ideally, an ND, a Doctor of Naturopathy, if you can locate one ( this link might help).Furthermore, we point out that statements regarding any products mentioned on this page have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration of the USA or the equivalent statutory authority of any other country.

for prostateSo what problems do men have that are so special?
Lots. Mainly affecting us as we grow older, after nature (and some women) has decided that we have served our purpose of procreation and feeding the family.
Our fertility and libido diminishes; our prostate packs it in; we can't get it up any more. We are simply past our “use by” date and the young fellows are taking over. In caveman days we would simply have been the first casualties in the endless tribal wars and that would have solved the problem.
But these are not caveman days and we all want a bit of life after forty, or fifty or sixty for that matter. What doesn't help our cause is that our affluent society provides us with unlimited food; we don't have to go out and kill a buffalo to feed our families and ourselves. Life is too easy. OK, 
but we still want to live until we are 70…or 80…or 90 and stay alert and healthy ( and sexually active – why not? - if we are so lucky) while we do it.

..............contd. from col 1
One thing is for sure - we cannot live like we 
did when we were 18 and indestructible. We have to eat sensibly and
exercise; we have to avoid getting our arteries coated in the gunk we consume; we have to rid ourselves of free radicals
that attack our body cells; we have to do something to stop our urethra suffering death by slow strangling by our prostate
.
Of course you don't have to be over forty to have problems. They are commonly characterised by by sexual dysfunction, premature and/or weak ejacualtion and, simply, lack of libido. While counselling is prudent in some cases there are herbs which have been of great benefit and well worth a try.
So, what which specific herbs do we recomend?
OK, in the case of prostate the big three in current favour are
Saw Palmetto, Pygeum and
Nettle, often in combination, which seems to magnify
the benefit. Bearberry also helps with prostate,
Gokshura aids urinary tract health and
Wild Oats and
Horny Goat Weed (yes – that's what they call it!)
helps with erectile dysfunction and
premature ejaculation.
Another herb, already acknowledged in Europe and now becoming increasingly popular in the US is
Muira Puama herb is acknowledged in Europe
to be effective in assisting in increasing sexual desire as well as attaining and maintaining an erection.
Herbal formulas also often include Ginseng
and
Gingko Biloba for addressing
erectile dysfunction problems.
