3. Prostate health - a holistic approach
The majority of men in the UK experience prostate problems at some
point during their
life. After 40, testosterone levels start to decrease, causing the
prostate gland to enlarge. This can lead to obstruction in the flow of
urine and increased potential for infections. From age 70+, 90% will
have prostate enlargement. Irrespective of age, there’s plenty you can
do to maintain prostate health.
From the Ayurvedic perspective, prostate problems can result from a sedentary lifestyle, retention of urine or lack of proper nutrients.
Advice:
- Drink lots of water.
- Obey your natural urge to urinate, don’t postpone.
- Take time to empty your bladder when urinating.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks.
- Take stretch breaks if you are sitting still a lot.
- Keep warm in cold weather.
- Keep bowels regular - favour fibre rich foods.
- Take fresh cooked foods and lots of sweet juicy fruit.
- Eat whole brans, a useful source of zinc.
- Do daily oil massage.
Nutritional support
Maharishi Ayurveda Prostate Balance is designed to deliver nutritional support over a broad range of areas. This blend of 18 herbs, minerals and fruits helps to:
- Keep testosterone levels in balance
- Maintain the vitality and health of the reproductive system
- Support immunity and resistance to infection
- Purify the urine and the urinary tract
Each Prostate Balance tablet contains 20% of the recommended daily amount of zinc, a mineral vital for prostate health. For best results, take Prostate Balance for 6-12 consecutive weeks each year.
What Prostate Balance ingredients do:
- Country Mallow, Shilajit and Zinc Bhasma help balance the amount
of male
hormone, testosterone, and support sexual desire. - Shilajit and Country Mallow support the reproductive fluid (Shukra).
- The Bringhana ingredients - Zinc Bhasma and Indian Tinospora,
support all seven
bodily tissues (Dhatus). - Mountain Ebony and Indian Tinospora, help to maintain the glands
at their normal
size. - Indian Tinospora, Sandalwood, Liquorice and Fossil encrinite
Bhasma help to
maintain comfort in the urinary tract. - Indian Tinospora, Zinc Bhasma and Turmeric support immunity in
the genitourinary
tract.
The herbs in Prostate Balance are combined in precise proportions and prepared in the traditional Ayurvedic way to improve the bio-availability of vital nutrients. This also creates synergy, whereby the collective benefit of the herbs is much greater than that of individual, isolated herbs. More about Prostate Health

4. Heart Health – Transcendental Meditation offers a new approach
In 2006, over £14 billion was spent in the UK on the treatment and prevention of cardio-vascular disease (CHD). £3.3 billion was spent on coronary heart disease (CHD) and £3.2 billion on stroke. Add to this the cost of lost productivity due to illness, death and the informal care of people with the disease and the cost topped £30 billion a year.
About 19% of this was spent on medicines, 73% on in-patient care, 3% on out-patient care, 4% on primary care and 1% on accident and emergency care. (Ref: British Heart Foundation G30 statistics)
The government has set out requirements for the NHS to:
- Reduce the prevalence of coronary risk factors in the population.
- Give high-risk people treatment to reduce their risks.
- Give people with angina symptoms treatment to relieve pain and reduce their risk of coronary events.
- Offer a multidisciplinary programme of rehabilitation and prevention to people leaving hospital after cardiac treatment.
Transcendental Meditation works for heart disease - 9 Year Study
Research presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Heart Association showed that heart disease patients who practice Transcendental Meditation (TM) have nearly 50% lower rates of heart attack, stroke, and death.
The nine-year trial, funded by a $3.8 million grant by the National Institute of Health (NIH), followed 201 men and women with narrowing of arteries in their hearts who were randomly assigned to either practice Transcendental Meditation or to participate in a control group which received health education classes in traditional risk factors, including dietary adjustment and exercise. All participants continued standard medications and other usual medical care.
Robert Schneider, MD, FACC, the lead author on the study, said "Previous research on the Transcendental Meditation program has shown reductions in blood pressure, psychological stress, and other risk factors for heart disease. But this is the first controlled clinical trial to show that long term practice of this particular stress reduction program reduces the incidence of clinical cardiovascular events; that is heart attacks, strokes and mortality."
Ayurvedic advice for heart health
For a comprehensive guide to prevention of heart disease, we recommend Total Heart Health, by Dr Robert Schneider Dr Schneider is one of the world’s leading authorities on natural medicine.
Another book worth reading is Perfect Blood Pressure Naturally by New Zealand medical practitioner Dr David Lovell-Smith, who has successfully treated hundreds of people with hypertension. “Every year millions of people world-wide are told to get their blood pressure down or risk the devastation of a stroke, or worse. Standard treatment is usually a prescription for the latest break-through drug and a caution about diet and exercise. But is there another way? This book shows you how to protect yourself by creating perfect blood pressure naturally through a holistic approach”.
