What Is the Prostate Gland and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting Its Health? - #15009
Lately, I’ve been experiencing some discomfort in my lower abdomen and frequent urination, especially at night. After visiting my doctor, I was informed that my prostate gland may be enlarged, a condition that is common in older men. The doctor mentioned that an enlarged prostate can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and a weak urine stream. While the doctor suggested medication, I’d prefer to explore natural remedies alongside the prescribed treatment. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers holistic solutions for supporting the health of the prostate gland. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help reduce the size of the prostate gland and ease the symptoms? I’ve read that herbs like Saw Palmetto and Gokshura can be beneficial for prostate health—could these help in my case? I’m also curious if Ayurveda has specific dietary guidelines that can support prostate gland health. Are there foods that I should include in my diet to improve the health of my prostate and reduce symptoms like frequent urination? I’ve heard that Ayurvedic treatments emphasize the importance of balancing the doshas—could this approach help in addressing the root cause of the issue? Has anyone here dealt with an enlarged prostate gland and found relief through Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle changes? What herbs, oils, or practices helped you in managing symptoms and improving your prostate health?
