Benign prostatic hypertrophy affects many men after the age of 50. Martine Blaize de Peretti offers natural solutions, including herbal tea and food supplements to relieve symptoms and improve urinary comfort.
Martine Blaize de Perettian herbalist specializing in herbal medicine and aromatherapy, shares tips for relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with natural remedies. The question was asked by Jean-François in La Ciotat.
This disorder, common in men aged 50 and over, can cause difficulty urinating or frequent urges, which affects daily life.
A beneficial herbal tea to relieve symptoms
To help regulate the symptoms of BPH, Martine recommends a herbal tea composed of:
-
heather flowers
Heather has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, especially useful for soothing inflammation of the urinary tract. It also helps stimulate the elimination of toxins through urine, promoting better kidney function. -
Bearberry leaves
Known for its disinfectant properties, bearberry is a plant widely used to treat urinary infections. It has diuretic properties which increase the volume of urine, thus facilitating evacuation and relieving pressure on the prostate. -
Fireweed Tops
Fireweed is renowned for its anti-inflammatory action, particularly beneficial in cases of prostate disorders. This plant helps reduce inflammation of the prostate and improve urinary comfort by reducing the frequency and urgency of the urge to urinate. -
Blue mallow flowers
Mallow is a softening plant which acts on the mucous membranes, particularly those of the urinary tract. It calms irritations and has a soothing effect which helps reduce discomfort linked to BPH.
Preparation and consumption
- Quantities : Mix the plants in equal parts, use two tablespoons of the mixture for one liter of boiling water.
- Infusion : Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
- Consumption : Drink a liter of this herbal tea daily, at room temperature or slightly chilled, depending on your preference. You can add a slice of lemon for flavor.
Essential dietary supplements
In addition to this herbal tea, Martine recommends three natural ingredients present in capsules to be taken for three months:
- Pumpkin seed oil
- Florida Palm (Serenoa repens)
- Prunier d’Afrique (Pygeum africanum)
These plants help reduce inflammation, slow the growth of the prostate and alleviate urinary problems.
