Treatment of prostatitis is a long-term process. An integrated approach is used - drug use, 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, as 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

But it is not always recommended to use folk remedies, as they isolate the forms of the disease that are treated exclusively by a pharmacological method. These include the acute phase of the disease, bacterial, infectious, and calculous prostatitis. With such pathologies, it is recommended to combine drugs prescribed by a doctor and non-traditional methods of treatment.
Very 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.
