This is a difficult subject to cover because it is so personal for so many people. And unfortunately most people don’t seek out help for the associated symptoms that they are experiencing, and that are directly tied to the prostate and urinary tract, that is until they have a problem. There is an old saying; you have nothing if you don’t have your health…truer words could not have been spoken! So, how do you begin an article that you know the contents of which will have a profound effect on those that read it? Well, I guess the answer is you just do it, and hopefully you’ll see that the below information may potentially change your life forever!
Prostate and urinary tract health problems affect men and women of all ages ranging from the age of 25 up to and into their 80s, all of these age groups will benefit from what they are about to read. Let’s start with the young men…does it make sense to wait until you have symptoms of an illness before you do something about them? For the most part, it is just human nature to wait until symptoms appear (and or get worse) before we do something about them, right? This is also true for older men and women; only with this age group the symptoms may have become a full-blown medical problem. Not doing something about any health issue when you realize that there is a problem could be one of the biggest mistakes of your life!
When it comes to prostate and urinary tract health, there are several ways you can approach dealing with this problem. After a diagnosis has been made typically the doctor prescribes a drug to treat the symptoms. Let’s look at this logically, you have a symptom, and a doctor prescribes a drug to treat the ‘symptom’. Does that make any sense, other than the fact that it may or may not alleviate the symptoms? The bottom line is that taking the drug doesn’t treat the root cause of the problem; it only treats what the body is showing you is wrong. The alternative is to take a product that naturally balances (in this case) your hormone levels, so the body can establish a level of normalcy that will eliminate your symptoms.
Thank goodness there are certain herbs which serve as a natural alternative to drugs and can be used to help maintain prostate and urinary tract health. Herbs such as those found in a new product called ProstMD are proof that this can be done. ProstMD is a natural herbal extract that is derived from an herb known as Epilobium. Epilobium has been used to maintain and heal prostate and urinary tract related issues for hundreds of years. ProstMD works ‘with the body’ to heal it, rather than suppressing the symptoms that occur when taking drugs and their associated side affects.

ProstMD Ingredient Deck consists 0f:
Wildcrafted Epilobium extract
The epilobium in ProstMD inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase and serves as a very powerful anti-inflammatory. It acts naturally as an aromatase inhibitor without side affects by blocking the active hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from being made; it also prevents the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which increases the amount of free testosterone in the system. What is really exciting is the research that shows a plant chemical called Oenothein B found in the herb, along with the 50 or so other constituents work synergistically to stabilize the various systems in the body which may be dysfunctional.
The epilobium in ProstMD contains very powerful and complex herbal phytochemicals that have stood the test of time. In addition to Epilobium’s proven effect as a hormone balancer, it has been shown to have a wide variety of additional therapeutic properties, including being an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and as an antioxidant. As L. Stephen Coles, M.D., Ph.D. has stated “As a doctor interested in the best medicine for patients, epilobium represents a great benefit-to-risk ratio.”
ProstMD is sold by Phytoceuticals Inc.
