Are You Suffering From Prostatitis or BPH and
Looking for a Natural Solution?


There are 2 major patterns of prostate problems that respond well to herbal supplements.  While one pattern occurs with urinary infections or burning urination, the other pattern occurs with loss of libido and frequent urination.  To obtain results with herbs it is best to start the treatment as soon as the condition is diagnosed.  It is also very important to see a specialist to rule out the possibility of prostate cancer.   

The 2 patterns of BPH that we recognize in Chinese medicine are listed below.  Included is a link where you may purchase the appropriate herbal prescription.  

BPH with Damp Heat
This pattern frequently occurs with the following symptoms:
  • Frequent Urination
  • Dark Yellow Urine
  • Heavy or Burning Sensations
  • Urinary Infections
  • Fever
  • Bloody or Cloudy Urine
  • Pus
  • Excessive Alcohol Use or Worse with Alcohol
When this pattern is present herbs for the prostate are used that help to clear the heat from the body.  The formula I recommend is Saw Palmetto Classic.  If urinary infections or cloudy urine is particularly severe add Eight Righteous Teapills.

BPH with Deficiency

This pattern of BPH is also common and occurs with general signs of weakness.  Symptoms include:

  • Low Energy
  • Low Sex Drive
  • Frequent Urination
  • Urine Tends to be Clear
  • Cold Sensations
  • Low Back Pain
  • Weakness in the Knees

For this pattern we use herbs that help to strengthen the prostate.  If back pain is present acupuncture is recommended as part of the treatment strategy.  The suggested herbal formula is Damiana Male Potential.
