Let’s talk about tea for prostate health. This tea benefits the prostate but is also great for the health of men in general. Make some today!
So many of the herbal world focuses on women. From puberty to menstruation to childbirth to perimenopause and finally, menopause. There’s a lot to think about being a girl. But there isn’t a lot of focus on men. Today, we celebrate the guys in our lives with a tea for prostate and general men’s health.
Do Guys Drink Tea?
Sure, most commercials show guys drinking coffee. Black, rich, strong coffee. But the truth is, a lot of guys drink tea too. Some prefer it to coffee as there is a lot more variety without the caffeine. And they can drink it iced or hot, making it a perfect drink.
Tea for Men’s Health
Men’s bodies have some unique requirements. They have a prostrate where women don’t. They have a higher suggested caloric intake and often have more physically (though, not always!) demanding jobs. These are my suggestions for tea for prostate and general men’s health, and all are dried botanicals. Holy basil, ginseng root, hawthorn berries, saw palmetto berries, ginger, molasses, ginkgo leaves are all great for men’s health.

This will make about 5 cups of tea for prostate health, and the tea blend can be doubled or tripled for more tea.
