Treatment of prostatitis is a long-term process. An integrated approach is used - the use of drugs, lifestyle changes - moderate physical activity, proper nutrition, rejection of bad habits and herbal medicine. Treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies is not prohibited, and is even welcomed by many medical specialists, since alternative medicine really works by helping to speed up the healing process. Practice shows that the use of folk remedies is sometimes more effective than the use of medicines. Let's find out how to treat prostatitis in men with folk remedies?
Benefits of treating prostatitis with alternative methods
In most clinical pictures, a man seeks help from a doctor when the disease has become chronic. Ignoring the symptoms aggravates the situation, which delays recovery indefinitely. The early stages of inflammation in the prostate are amenable to therapy, especially folk remedies.
Alternative medicine offers many recipes to help get rid of the negative symptoms of prostatitis. But it is not always advisable to use folk remedies, since they isolate forms of the disease that are treated exclusively with a drug method. These include the acute phase of the disease, bacterial, infectious and calculous prostatitis. With such pathologies, it is recommended to combine medications prescribed by a doctor and methods of non-traditional treatment.
Most often, strong drugs are prescribed to treat prostatitis. As you know, drugs have not only indications for use, but also contraindications, an impressive list of side effects. And this is justified, since sometimes the positive effect of pills on the prostate gland is accompanied by a deterioration in general well-being.
Pros of Alternative Medicine:
- The phyto-remedies contain no chemical and synthetic components, which guarantees safety for the body;
- Mild effect on the human immune system;
- The minimum likelihood of developing negative phenomena. In most cases, tinctures and decoctions are well tolerated by patients;
- Profitability. Folk remedies are much cheaper in comparison with medications.
Important: folk remedies for prostatitis cannot be used in the acute form of the disease, since in this case the patient needs emergency help - strong medications or even surgery.
Folk remedies are recommended for use when the diagnosis is confirmed by laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods. Unlike drugs, herbal medicine works somewhat softer, so there will be no rapid therapeutic effect.
Clay therapy
For the treatment of prostatitis, blue (preferred) or black clay is used. It has anti-inflammatory properties. The method of therapy is simple: it is necessary to dilute the clay powder with warm water, or with a decoction based on medicinal herbs to the consistency of plasticine. Roll a cake from the mass, which is at least three centimeters in diameter. It is applied to the area where the glandular organ is located. The duration of the manipulation is three hours.
It is noted that pain syndrome may develop 30-60 minutes after placing the cake, but this is normal. Experts say the pain is a sign that the clay has started to work. After the procedure, you cannot go outside for 2 hours.
Another use of clay:
