Garlic for prostate adenoma helps stop the growth of the prostate gland, relieve inflammation and swelling, and improve urination. In addition to using it in the diet, there are also recipes for preparing traditional medicine from it.
Benefits and harms for the prostate
Most folk remedies used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) relieve the symptoms of the disease, but do not eliminate the cause.
The main thing in the treatment of prostate adenoma is to stop the development of the tumor, which is possible by reducing testosterone production; for this you can use garlic.
It has a positive effect on prostate adenoma and promotes:
- reducing swelling;
- relieving inflammation;
- improving blood flow in the prostate;
- cleansing blood vessels;
- reducing the risk of blood clots.
However, eating garlic in its pure form for prostate adenoma should be done with caution. Garlic essential oil can change the composition of urine, which contributes to irritation of the urinary tract. Therefore, if the urge becomes more frequent or discomfort occurs when urinating, it is necessary to reduce or eliminate garlic from the diet. The remedy can also be used in the treatment of prostatitis .
There are several contraindications for the use of folk remedies from it:
- disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including stomach ulcers;
- cirrhosis of the liver;
- kidney disease;
- high blood pressure.
The benefits of garlic lie in the beneficial properties of the substances included in its composition:
- Phytoncides stop the development of the tumor process. With constant use, the prostate shrinks to normal size.
- Allicin is formed as a result of oxidation after mechanical damage to the cloves. It has antibacterial properties and affects most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
- Vitamins and minerals strengthen the immune system, which helps reduce the risk of complications.
- Antioxidants bind free radicals and prevent damaged cells from multiplying and becoming malignant.
The harm lies in the fact that it:
- irritates the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract;
- interferes with cell restoration;
- changes the composition of urine.
Folk remedies are not the main treatment; they only complement drug therapy.
