any good results with herbs?

I found that bee pollen helped my symptoms by about 30 percent, yet the pollen made me very ill, so i had to stop

Quercitin helps considerably too, with no side effects with me. I find the Holland & Barratt Quercitin + Vit C capsules just as effective as the more expensive Prosta-Q.
Are there data on herbs or only case reports?
Dr Shoskes did a study involving a product called prosta q, main ingredient is quercetin. The study apparently showed major reductions in painful prostatitis symptoms in 80 percent of patients taking it. http://www.dshoskes.com/prostaq.html

Men on most prostatitis forums report pretty poor results with it, for whatever reason. Its worth a try though. I tried it with no effect...


I read about a few small study's involving bee pollen and pygeum{indian tree bark} which seem to be favorable.

In fact after taking pygeum, my after urine dribble went away. I had to stop taking the herb because it made me ill. I have a weak stomach when it comes to herbs for some reason..

Hi Mike,
May I know your symptoms based on the NIH symptom score?
Thanks
