Essential Oils for Prostate Health

essential oils for prostate health


Prostatitis and BPH

Many men have prostate issues as they age.

BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, affects approximately 50% of men aged 51-60 in the US, which makes it the most common prostate problem for men over 50.

Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), on the other hand, is the most common prostate problem for men younger than 50, and affects 10-15% of the US male population.

Just because these problems are common, however, doesn’t mean they are inevitable. With the use of essential oils, you may be able to naturally heal from and prevent these problems, and ensure that your prostate remains healthy throughout your life.

Essential Oils for Prostate Health

Optimal Health Network has created two essential oil blends specifically designed to help you heal from the prostate issues mentioned above.

Our BPH Essential Oil Blend supports overall prostate health, and should help to ease pain and optimize urinary function. It contains therapeutic-grade frankincense, myrrh, orange, sage, peppermint, and geranium essential oils.
  • Frankincense is known to reduce pain and inflammation and inhibit the growth and spread of cancerous cells. 
  • Myrrh has a relaxing effect on muscles, and has antiinflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial benefits.
  • Orange is anti-inflammatory and rich in limonene, which helps fight/prevent cancer.
  • Sage is effective at fighting bacterial infections, is a nervous system stimulant, and helps balance hormones. It supports the reproductive, respiratory, and nervous systems.
  • Peppermint has antiviral, antiinflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
  • Geranium supports the immune system, is soothing for anxiety and stress, and effective at treating hormonal disturbances. Antibacterial, it promotes cellular regeneration and healthy urination.
Our Prostatitis Essential Oil Blend helps to reduce infection and swelling, improve urinary function, increase circulation, improve sexual function, and ease pain. It contains therapeutic-grade rosemary, myrtle, thyme, frankincense, myrrh, sage, and spruce essential oils.
  • Rosemary is antibacterial, an immune stimulant, relieves pain, increases circulation, and reduces inflammation.
  • Myrtle is antimicrobial and has beneficial effects on glandular imbalances.
  • Thyme is antispasmodic and antiseptic and effectively supports the reproductive and immune systems.
  • Frankincense is known to reduce pain and inflammation and inhibit the growth and spread of cancerous cells.
  • Myrrh has a relaxing effect on muscles, and has antiinflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial benefits.
  • Sage is effective at fighting bacterial infections, is a nervous system stimulant, and helps balance hormones. It supports the reproductive, respiratory, and nervous systems.
  • Spruce (Tsuga) relieves muscle pain, promotes balanced hormones, promotes a strong immune system, and may help boost testosterone levels.
These two OHN essential oil blends have a lot of power between them, and we regularly hear from patients how well they work. Use one or both of these blends in coconut oil suppositories and/or add them to your enema solution.

Additional Tips for a Healthy Prostate

If your prostate isn't at its healthiest, there are several other things you can do alongside using essential oils to help:
  1. Take Supplements like Prostatrol Forte

    Ortho Prostatrol Forte is specifically designed to help men who suffer from BPH and/or prostatitis. Prostatrol forte contains saw palmetto extract, which reduces the amount of hormonal stimulation of the prostate. It also contains nettle root extract, which blocks estrogen binding; pygeum, which inhibits the effects of growth factors on prostate cells; zinc, which is necessary for prostate functioning; and selenium, which destroys free radicals and is needed for proper prostate function. Additionally, both saw palmetto and pygeum reduce the inflammatory pathways to help alleviate prostatitis.
  2. Enema Series

    If you're suffering from prostatitis or BPH, I recommend taking the 3-step enema series 1 to 7 times per week for at least three months, in conjunction with essential oil suppositories. 
  3. Diet/Detox

    One of the main jobs of the prostate gland is to protect sperm from unwanted toxins. Following the diet and detox program laid out in my book, Ten Days to Optimal Health, will help you fully cleanse toxins from your entire body, which will benefit any prostate issues you're experiencing, as well as your overall health.


DISCLAIMER: If you have been diagnosed by your doctor with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatitis, the Optimal Health Network offers the above therapeutic products and protocols to support your prostate health under the supervision of your doctor. We make no claim or guarantee for cure or relief of any specific symptom, medical condition, or disease when using any of these products or protocols.

Pet Health

The Optimal Health Network's resource on pet health is still being developed. If you have stories of using enemas, suppositories, or essential oils with your pets to improve their health, we would love to hear from you.

Here are a few thoughts to start with:
  • In speaking with a holistic veterinary clinic, I found out that a common treatment for dogs who have cancer is to use frankincense enemas.
  • Diffusing lavender promotes a relaxed and peaceful attitude in pets.
  • One of the simplest cancer-deterring supplements you can add to your dog’s food is coconut oil. Use 1 teaspoon of coconut oil per 10 pounds of body weight per day in divided doses. That's 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) for a 30-pound dog and 2 tablespoons for a 60-pound dog. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil help treat or prevent many kinds of illnesses and they have significant anti-tumor properties. Giving your dog coconut oil every day is inexpensive health insurance.
  • Feed your pet raw food, especially meat.
  • Dogs need real bones.
  • Some enemas are not safe for cats. Unsafe enemas are those containing phosphate (for example, some Fleet enemas). Cats absorb sodium and phosphate molecules from these enemas into their blood and tissues, becoming hypertonic. As a cat's body seeks to dilute the area and correct the hypertonicity, it pulls water from the tissues, including from the brain and muscles. The result is a potentially fatal hypertonicity electrolyte imbalance.
  • Use suppositories with your pets before you use enemas.

How to Prepare for a Detox

by Stephanie Carnes
OHN Contributor

Embarking on a healthy detoxification plan this spring may be just what you need! Take the time now to prepare and educate yourself about healthy practices so that you can avoid the pitfalls of fad diets and fasting. The information below outlines what is needed to support your body and aid its natural healing processes while on a detox diet.


What You'll Need:

1. VIT-RA-TOX KIT - Purchase this kit HERE.

2. QUALITY WATER - Learn More

3. NUTRITIOUS LIQUIDS - The importance of drinking only liquids on a detox plan is to give your digestive system a time to rest and focus on doing the important job of eliminating toxins and healing. You will need to drink 1/2 to 1 gallon of nutritious liquids each day, and having a couple of thermoses on hand allows you to travel with your liquids.
  • Raw Milk 
  • Living Fuel 
  • Fresh, organic vegetable juice 
  • Home-made bone broth or packaged soup 
  • Beet Kvass 
  • Kefir 
  • Kombucha 
4. COCONUT OIL - Coconut oil will keep you warm, cleanse your liver, and help your body remove toxins. It will also help you feel full and reset your metabolism while you fast. Take 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil each day. Sally Fallon and her co-author Mary Enig have written extensively about the health benefits of coconut oil in their book, Eat Fat, Lose Fat.


Additional Details:

RAW MILK - If you’re having trouble locating raw milk, contact your nearest Weston A. Price chapter.

VERY VEGGIE - Very Veggie is a delicious, tomato-based, organic vegetable juice. Locate a supplier nearest you.

BONE BROTH - The chicken or turkey bones in the stock recipe can be replaced with any other meat bones such as lamb, beef, buffalo, fish or venison. For additional stock recipes, refer to Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook.

ORGANIC GOURMET BROTH - Imagine Foods and Pacific Foods make delicious, organic gourmet broth. These broths are made from organically raised free-range chickens, organic beef and organic vegetables. If you cannot make your own broth, look for single serving and family-sized packages from these companies

TEAS - Hot chamomile tea with raw cream is a treat at bedtime. Peppermint tea in the mid-afternoon also brings a sense of digestive health during a fast. My other favorite teas include Echinacea, Nettle Leaf, Pau D’Arco and Oat Straw. I recommend one-to-four cups of herbal tea daily.


The Importance of Supplements:

It is essential during your fast that you take supplements. Without them, you will not remove as many of the toxins that are being released as you need to do for a successful cleanse. The Optimal Health Center recommends V.E. Irons’ Vit-Ra-Tox kit. The fiber in the Vit-Ra-Tox kit will give the toxins, bacterial waste and debris, which are leaving your body, something to adhere to while passing through your colon. The clay carries a negative electric charge and can attract positively charged pathogenic organisms along with their toxins and carry them out of the body. Clay compounds also provide minerals. As such, bentonite clay facilitates assimilation of the nutrients you are taking in from raw milk and vegetable juices and can help the intestines to rid the body of toxins that are being released from cells.

The other supplements in the Vit-Ra-Tox kit are Greenlife, a combination of grasses, vitamin C, and Wheat Germ/Flax oil. These will bring into your body the extra nutrients needed to keep your immune system fully functional while you do the hard work of fasting.
