Chronic prostatitis is an insidious disease. Its transition to a state of remission makes the patient feel euphoric and fully recovers. Refusal to continue treatment is fraught with new exacerbations of the disease, the occurrence of cystitis, renal failure and malignancy of the prostate.

Traditional Ingredients
Treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies is required and required for many reasons. First, it is time-tested, and secondly, most are cheaper than modern drug treatment. However, it is incorrect to compare the effectiveness of treatment with herbs and drugs, because the latter is always a priority. The role of herbal medicine is reduced not only to get rid of the disease, but also to reduce its symptoms.
Folk remedies for prostatitis are not just herbal remedies and other herbal medicines. Also used in home medicine:
- various beekeeping products (apitherapy);

Traditional treatments for prostatitis are effective only when properly collected and properly prepared herbal medicines are used.
As a result of biochemical research, some ingredients of folk recipes have already been included in modern certified medicines.
Use folk recipes with caution. Their effect on the human body leads to the development of allergy symptoms, increased blood pressure, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, etc. The choice of alternative treatments should be left to the attending physician.
Greens, vegetables and herbs in the fight against prostatitis
Home treatment for prostatitis mainly involves the use of herbal medicines. We must not forget that herbal medicines are a symptomatic measure. Helps relieve symptoms, including urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and pain in the pelvic region.
Once a patient has already determined how to get rid of prostatitis at home with the help of a doctor, you must buy all the necessary ingredients (specified in the prescription), then you can treat prostatitis at home without problems.
Parsley seeds have long been used for prostatitis. In addition to the diuretic effect, this drug can reduce inflammation in acute prostatitis and relieve symptoms in chronic prostatitis.

It is impossible to imagine the treatment of prostatitis at home without a pumpkin. It was used in all kinds of food, from boiled pumpkin pulp porridge, seeds and butter. The latter tool is considered one of the most effective tools in the fight against male infertility and inflammation of the prostate gland. You can eat porridge with pumpkin and rice simply by adding honey and walnuts, but as an option you can eat pumpkin seeds (only in raw form - they lose their healing properties when fried). Eating raw pumpkin seeds every day is very useful for the treatment of chronic prostatitis in men and prevents inflammation of the prostate.
Traditional medicine for prostatitis recommends both onions and garlic. The high content of vitamins, antihypertensive and antimicrobial substances makes these vegetables indispensable for the male diet. You can prepare garlic microclysters. Mix honey and pour 200 ml of water (glass) with boiled water in the ratio of 1/3 of a clove of garlic and half a teaspoon of honey, filter and apply after 5 minutes. This is a very effective home remedy for prostatitis. If a man has chronic prostatitis, you should eat raw onions and garlic in addition to daily vitamins or fried eggs.
Folk remedies for prostatitis in men are also possible with the help of turmeric. Turmeric, known as a condiment, is an excellent antibacterial agent. Finely grated carrot 2 tablespoons turmeric is filled with a glass of water, drink half a glass a day.
Individual sensitivity should be considered when treating prostatitis with folk remedies. No matter how effective medications are, they can be dangerous in terms of side effects.
Speaking of turmeric, parsley, in contrast, can not be consumed daily and in large quantities, because it can cause dysbiosis (this spice affects the intestinal microflora of the human body). Turmeric has previously been used with caution in the treatment of prostatitis in men if they have diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure and any problems with the cardiovascular system. If a man has had a stroke, it is better to choose another folk remedy for the treatment of prostatitis.
An effective treatment for chronic prostatitis is also provided by drugs made from dried nettles. Infusions and solutions from it affect the hormonal background and inflammatory process in the prostate gland. When diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, traditional medicine uses double nettle seeds according to the following recipe: they should be poured with dry wine (5 tablespoons of dry tissue in a ratio of 0. 5 liters of wine), heated in a water bath (water should be hot, but not boiling). Cool for 5 minutes and strain for 2 tablespoons before bedtime.
Some popular recipes recommend applying freshly plucked nettles to the perineal area: supposedly, it causes excessive bleeding and helps treat chronic prostatitis. However, the mixed acid in the sting cells of freshly picked nettles can cause burns and an allergic reaction.
Nettle preparation is contraindicated in cases of renal failure and predisposition to edema, circulatory disorders (varicose veins) and inflammatory vascular diseases (thrombophlebitis).
Echinacea juice, as well as tinctures on seeds and crushed roots of the plant have long been used for medicinal purposes. Echinacea purpurea stimulates the immune system, supports the body's defenses and heals against bacterial and viral infections. You can buy ready-made tinctures in pharmacies. When the prostate gland is inflamed, take a teaspoon of tincture every two hours, and chronic prostatitis in remission is treated with drinks containing echinacea juice.
Cranberry is widely used for prostatitis. The berries can be eaten raw or made into cranberry-based drinks. This tool is very effective at the first signs of the disease. You can also make preparations from cornel, especially jam. This is one of the ways to treat prostatitis at home in the winter, when it is difficult to get fresh cranberries. You can also make a tincture of fresh berries: for 100 g of berries take a glass of vodka (do not grind berries! ), Put in jars 2 weeks in a dark place. You should take a teaspoon 3 times a day after meals. Cranberry juice and jelly can be eaten daily. Treatment with gastric juice is contraindicated in cases of increased acidity of gastric juice, as well as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
However, the most effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies are obtained through the combined use of herbs. This is especially true for herbal teas. However, if herbal remedies are used in addition to traditional pharmacology, we must always keep in mind that folk remedies can weaken or increase the effect of the pharmacopoeia. Sometimes it is dangerous to health.
For all the undoubted benefits of home medicine, one cannot accept it as a medicine and a miracle that can be cured quickly and forever. Traditional medicines are clearly more effective. In addition, recommendations on how to treat prostatitis permanently with the help of traditional medicine should be taken with a healthy skepticism, because, for example, it is impossible to recover from chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, especially after the age of 60 years. Another thing is that with the proper use of herbs, the prostate may not grow and the symptoms of the disease are easier.
