Male Reproductive System

The prostate, testes, and male hormonal axis — governing fertility, libido, and urinary flow in later life.

General herbal approach

Much herbal work here centres on the ageing prostate: antiprostatic and 5-alpha-reductase-inhibiting herbs such as saw palmetto and nettle root aim to ease benign enlargement and improve urinary flow. Male tonics and aphrodisiacs (tribulus, muira puama, maca) support libido and vitality, while adaptogens underpin the stress–hormone connection behind much male fatigue and low drive. Fertility support leans on antioxidant, spermatogenic, and nourishing tonic herbs.
