Home Remedies for Prostate Disorders


Prostate Disorders treatment using Pumpkin Seeds


Pumpkin seeds are an effective home remedy for prostate problems and many
patients have been helped by their use. These seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty
acids which are essential to the health of the prostate. Persons beyond the age
of fifty, who have any signs of prostate trouble; or those who suffer from urinary
disorders of some kind, namely, burning or difficulty in passing urine freely,
should take sixty to ninety grams of pumpkin steeds per day. The seeds may be
taken in the form of powder sprinkled over cooked vegetables or mixed with
wheat flour to make chapatis. They can also be taken in the form of a paste
made with honey, or as a drink mixed with diluted milk and sugar to taste.


Prostate Disorders treatment using Vegetable Juices


The use of vegetable juices has been found beneficial in the treatment of
prostate problems, including prostate enlargement. The juice of carrots, taken
separately in a 500 ml quantity, or in combination with spinach juice, is specially
valuable. In the case of combined juices, 200 ml of spinach juice should be
mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of combined
juices.
