Best herbal remedies for prostate cancer
* Epilobium parviflorum (Small Flowered Willow Herb) is an herb for prostate health in general. So it may be a good prostate herb for prevention more so than treatment.* Fennel may be helpful as an adjunct to medical treatment. Female sex hormones are often prescribed for prostate cancer & fennel helps enhance levels of female sex hormones. * Sabal serrulata better known as Saw Palmetto is the best known herb for male sexual health & the health of the prostate gland especially with respect to shrinking enlarged prostates. Chinese physicians have also found saw palmetto to have a beneficial effect on prostate cancer cases unresponsive to orthodox treatment. * Red Clover, like fennel also increases levels of female sex hormones & so may have a place in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, its phytoestrogen content may also increase risk of other disorders like breast tumors & blood clots. So if you are risk for those health problems take red clover under medical supervision. For prostate cancer or prevention, take as directed. * Hypoxis rooperi (African Potato) is a great herb for general prostate health. We have also cited African Potato as having many general & specific health benefits. The supplement may not be widely available though we affiliate with a company that does include African Potato in many formulations including that for prostate health.

If purchased from another source, follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
* Soy products like tofu may also inhibit prostate cancer. Yes, as a bean it does fall into our definition of herb (for prostate health & cancer prevention). A couple of servings of soybean per week may be all that is needed. I enjoy two soy products in particular. Tempeh which is like tofu but firm & chewy, can be stir fried with other veggies & substitute for meat. I also use soymilk in place of milk over cereal. Also there are many protein bars that feature soy as a main ingredient.
* Products containing cooked tomatoes allow the body to access lycopene which helps prevent prostate cancer. Raw tomatoes & tomato juice do not confer the same benefit. So you may consider pizza or pasta with tomato herbal remedies prostate cancer prevention. Yahoo!
