Saw Palmetto

[Guest guest]

Alon,

 

Although I haven't read the study, I have heard that it was well executed.

This is a case of a negative study about a medicinal that does work. You don't

always have positive studies.

 

However, I believe, as do most of my Western herbalist colleagues that the

benefits of Seronoa are blown out of proportion. Although it does have benefit

for BPH, it is not the miracle it has been made out to be. It is best in less

severe cases and is more of what we would call a supplementing (or tonic) in

Chinese medicine, benefiting the kidney qi and enriching kidney and liver yin.

 

Sincerely,

Thomas

BTW: the link to Eastland's Glossary was incorrect, whoever put it up.
