Pygeum Africanum as an Alternative
Prostate Cancer Treatment


Pygeum africanum is the African plum tree, which has been shown to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. For centuries, South Africa tribes have used the bark of this evergreen tree to relieve incontinence in men. This alternative treatment is widely prescribed by European physicians. However, in the United States, few studies have been performed to reveal its effectiveness. Also, no studies have linked Pygeum africanum’s effectiveness in the treatment of prostate cancer.
