[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

If you have a benign enlargement of the prostate or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), many men can be successfully treated with natural progesterone cream and a combination of vitamins, minerals and herbs.

The following are some of the symptoms that have been associated with BPH:

a weak urinary stream
dribbling of urine
the need to urinate frequently
the need to urinate three to four times at night
dysuria – painful urination
incomplete emptying of bladder leading to cystitis
discomfort during intercourse
painful ejaculation
impotence
lowered sex drive

Somewhere between the ages of 30 and 40 a mans prostate begins to enlarge. The growth of the prostate is known as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). BPH will affect nearly all men as they age. What is generally not known is the fact that there are safe, natural and effective ways of dealing with BPH. By age 50 more than 50% of men will have prostate surgery, radiation treatment, or will be on prescription drugs like Proscar (finasteride). Finasteride has been shown to cause impotence (in more than 60% of patients), decreased libido, decreased amount of semen per ejaculation, breast tenderness, breast enlargement, lip swelling and skin rashes.

Scientific studies have shown that many of the symptoms of BPH may be alleviated by a combination of a natural progesterone cream applied twice a day, along with herbal vitamin and mineral pills which include some or all of the following: Saw Palmetto Berry (Serenoa Repens), Pygeum Africanum, American Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolius), Bearberry Extract (Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi), Pumpkin Seed Oil, Vitamin C, Zinc, Lycopene, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Stinging Nettle Leaves, Cernilton Flower Pollen, Flaxseed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamin E, Copper, Amino Acids, Multi-vitamins and Minerals.

Mens Hormones

Progesterone and estrodiol (an estrogen) are two hormones naturally produced by the male body, but in smaller amounts than women and are vital to good health. Progesterone is the primary precursor of our adrenal cortical hormones and testosterone. It also has the effect of balancing out the effects of estrodiol. Uninhibited estrodiol (estrodiol without progesterone) has been implicated in prostate growth leading to BPH. As men age, their progesterone levels fall, causing their uninhibited estrodiol levels to rise. It has been theorized that one of the causes of BPH may be inadequate amounts of progesterone synthesis needed to counteract the effect of estrodiol.

Men also have elevated estrogen levels because of unavoidable environmental and food sources which contain high levels of estrogen like compounds. Xeno-estrogens [also known as pseudo-estrogens] are synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plastic products, solvents, adhesives, car exhaust, industrial waste (i.e. PCBs and dioxins), meat from livestock fed estrogenic drugs to fatten them up. These xeno-estrogens exert estrogen like influences on all living creatures, male and female, by disrupting the reproductive abilities and hormonal balance. Several dietary contaminants, industrial chemicals and insecticides also act like estrogens.

Since uninhibited estrogen is one of the causes of enlargement of the prostate and symptoms of BPH, the role of progesterone is to balance this uninhibited estrogen effect. In fact, progesterone may be the only remedy needed to reverse benign prostatic enlargement. Men may also need progesterone to reverse the feminizing effects of too much estrogen.
