Inflammation of the prostate gland is quite common in men of any age. Apart from the 10% of cases that are attributed to a bacterial infection, it can be difficult to specify the exact cause in the other 90% of cases. The symptoms can vary between patients with some having a persistent infection and others having intermittent bouts of infection. Chronic prostatitis is the medical term that refer to symptoms that last for 3 months or more. Health and herbalist stores sell a wide variety of natural remedies for prostatitis.

First on your list of natural remedies should be to increase the amount of water you drink every day. Drinking lots of water helps to flush impurities and irritants out of your system. Cranberry in juice or tablet form help to flush bacteria from the bladder. Cranberry can also help to prevent the transfer of the bacteria between the bladder and the prostate.

Diet is important, especially if you have proven to be susceptible to bouts of urinary related infections. It may require a life-style change in your diet to help prevent further episodes of infection. You need to eat smaller light meals, more frequently throughout the day. Introducing whole grains, fresh fruit and steaming your vegetables will help to protect the urinary tract from infection.

One of the symptoms you are likely to experience is a build-up of urine which you have difficulty expelling and can be the cause of severe pain. Herbs and preparations that contain natural diuretic properties and antioxidants such as watermelon seeds help to control the build-up of urine. The seeds can be crushed and infused in hot water, or can be purchased in tablet and capsule form and taken as directed on the product label. Diuretics will affect the level of potassium within the body, so it is important to increase your intake of potassium rich foods such as fresh vegetables and bananas.

Chamomile is used to produce a tea which has soothing and diuretic properties. Alternatively, it can be purchased in tincture form and the specified number of drops added to hot water. It helps to relieve pain and cramps caused by an infection in the urinary system.

Infected and enlarged prostates often respond to the soothing properties of Couch Grass. It can be combined with other natural remedies to improve effectiveness, such as Buchu, Saw Palmetto and Echinacea. Couch Grass can be purchased on its own or as a mixed preparation from local Health Food Stores.

Vitamin F provides you with a natural source of Zinc and Linoleic Acid and is commonly found in pumpkin seeds. Not only will you find these seeds in any Health Food shop, you can now find them in your local supermarket. The diuretic properties found in the seeds help to prevent the build-up of excess urine.

These are only a few of the natural remedies for prostatitis that are available from a good Health Food or Herbalist Store. Depending on the severity and duration of your symptoms you should ask for advice in store to determine which remedies are best for you. Always check with your doctor and your pharmacist first if you are taking prescription medication for any other condition.
