Moderator broncovet Posted May 31, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Yes, there are alternatives. The herb, saw palmetto, is the most often used. So are pumpkin seeds. There are several companies which make blends of herbs for the prostate: Solaray, Solgar, Nature Made. You can also buy saw palmetto and pumpkin seeds at your health food store, or even, sometimes, your grocery store. Beets are good for inflammation, (but not just the prostate), too: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/25/beets-health-benefits.aspx The spice, tumeric, is also a great anti inflamatory (especially for arthritis) : http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-662-turmeric.aspx?activeingredientid=662&activeingredientname=turmeric There is even a prostate tea, if you like tea, made from several different herbs.
