Saw palmetto is prescribed for men
in Europe for BPH

Saw palmetto is another wonderful instance of scientific research validating traditional herbal medicine. Numerous studies have shown saw palmetto to be effective in 90 percent of patients suffering from BPH within the first year of treatment, compared to a success rate of less than 50 percent for patients taking finasteride, one of the most commonly proscribed drugs for benign prostate hyperplasia. Although it has lost the favor of mainstream medicine in the U.S., it is still widely used in Europe.

Plant Description


Saw palmetto is a scrubby little tree native to the Eastern seaboard from South Carolina to Florida. It is also found in coastal Southern California. The trees live to be centuries old, but seldom get taller than 6 to 10 feet. Crowned with three foot wide fan of long, spiky leaves, with red-brown, oblong berries. After ripening, the berries are partially dried and are used as medicine.

History and Traditions
historyIn the early part of this century, saw palmetto berry tea was commonly recommended for benign enlargement of the prostate and to treat chronic urinary tract infections. Used as food by the Seminole Indians in Florida, the berries have been used to ease upset stomachs and insomnia, but the older herbalists did not foresee palmetto's current status as the premier treatment for male prostate problems.
