Men's Special: Keeping the prostate and urinary tract healthy and happy is an important part of men's well-being. While chronic prostate problems are largely associated with aging, occasional flare-ups in young as well as elder men may be precipitated by infection, excessive consumption of spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, or bicycle riding which puts pressure on this small gland. Enlargement of the prostate is a frequent condition in elder men in modern society.

Holistic healing suggests that herbs may be of value in the prevention and treatment of prostate complaints, and it is never too soon in an adult man's life to begin a maintenance program. Men's Special contains herbs that can meet those needs. Saw Palmetto is the herb par excellence for prostate health as noted in both research and traditional folk herbalism literature. Research has found it may help prevent and treat enlargement of the prostate as well as urinary disturbances that often accompany prostate problems.

Native Americans of the southeastern US seaboard introduced European settlers to Saw Palmetto, and it later became popular with the Eclectic physicians of the 19th century as well as naturopaths and herbalists. Native Americans relied on Saw Palmetto as a staple food, nutritive and tonic that is historically reputed to build strength and body mass.

Additionally, it is traditionally considered a blood cleanser that can help to clear toxic accumulations. Cornsilk, the shimmering filaments from corn ears have been used in folk healing as a soothing diuretic for irritated, congested urinary tracts. The traditional herbalist for cleansing the blood and controlling parasites prizes Black Walnut Leaf. Homeopaths have long used it for venereal complaints, including syphilis, in centuries past.
