Benign prostatic hyperplasia is widespread in older men and one of the healing plants is pigweed, a type of green vegetable. To use it, look for fresh pigweed in local markets or better still cultivate it in your own backyard. Wash the leaves really well to clean them then they can be eaten raw in salads or prepared for cooking. Pigweed can also be consumed as tea after boiling the leaves of the plant in water for ten minutes. Take this every day to promote prostate health. But always be safe and first ask your doctor before undertaking any of these remedies as you may be allergic to some forms of them.
