Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Zinc is a good supplement to take, as it is thought to benefit the prostate gland generally. You should also increase your intake of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which reduce inflammation in the prostate. These are available as fish oils or flaxseed oil. Pumpkin seeds contain both zinc and EFAs and are therefore a good snack food to munch on. Reduce alcohol consumption to reduce inflammatory processes in the body. Lose any excess weight, as being overweight is associated with worse symptoms of Prostate Enlargement. Sexual abstinence and withdrawing without orgasm can apparently contribute to enlarged prostate and should be avoided.
Instructions:
1. Corn Silk: Corn silk is a time-tested remedy to fight off symptoms of prostate enlargement. It acts as a natural diuretic and even helps relax the urinary muscles and lining. This leads to improved urine flow.
Put the silk of 6 ears of fresh corn in 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then simmer for another 10 minutes. Strain and drink up to 3 cups of this corn silk tea a day.
Another option is to add 15 drops of corn silk extract to 1 cup of water and drink it a few times a day.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar: Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar has astringent properties that help shrink swollen prostate glands. It also aids weight loss and helps prevent complications of enlarged prostate like UTIs.
Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm water. Drink it twice daily.
Another option is to add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar to a bathtub of water and soak in it for 10 to 15 minutes. Enjoy this soothing bath a few times a week.
