The prostate is a walnut sized gland that encircles the tube (the urethra) through which urine flows. When enlarged, it pinches this tube, so that urine flows less freely. This creates the need for more frequent urination, particularly at night, and also prevents the bladder from ever really emptying completely. By causing men to wake several times during the night, it disturbs healthy sleeping patterns.

While Western medicine blames prostate enlargement on excess levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), holistic health systems look deeper, explaining that such inflammation is caused by blood stagnation, accumulations of damp heat in the urinary tract, and a general weakness in the Kidney System.

Thus, the holistic solution to prostate enlargement must deal not only with inflammation, but also invigorate the blood, cleanse damp heat, and strengthen the function of the Kidney System as a whole.
