The pranayam techniques:

Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration - upto 5 minutes.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Anulom Vilom - Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril

Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.

Answer 4

Saw Palmetto 500mg+ per day. My dad has/had an enlarged prostrate, Dr's Best Comprehensive Prostate Formula is the best {no pun intended}, it has a mixture of various phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals to shrink that prostrate in a few weeks:

At the time, my dad was taking Glucosamine for a recent joint injury, I also told him to take the Saw Palmetto, although he did not know it was for his prostate, but thought it was another herb to help with the joint pain, within a few days, he told me it it got better by itself, less frequent urination, and that it was a miracle since he had it for so long.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Saw Palmetto was the most promising, but a recent large trial showed no significant difference over placebo.

Answer 6

An enlarged prostate must be taken care of by a doctor. Fooling around with herbal remedies for cancer is stupid.

Cancer kills, and rapidly with some forms of prostate cancer, so if you know someone with an enlarged prostate, get them into a doctor for an examination and xrays, MRI, etc. to find out what is causing this. It could be nothing alarming, but why take the chance. Go to a doctor.
