“…A significant increase in the alkaline phosphatase level was observed in the animals treated with T. glaberrima. The enzyme ALP was found to increase the prostatic secretions and helps to maintain the appropriate pH of seminal fluid, which in turn is necessary for retaining the sperm motility (Lucchetta et al, 1984;Clavert et al, 1986;Carani et al, 1991). Thus, the plant T. glaberrima may be an effective therapy for male infertility, especially in cases of diminished prostatic secretions.…”

Tricholepis glaberrima DC (Compositae) is popularly known as 'brahmadandi' in Ayurveda, the Indian system of medicine. Aerial parts of this plant are used as a nervine tonic, and its infusion was prescribed in seminal debility and impotence. In the current study, we have investigated the effect of methanol extract of the aerial parts in sexually active male rats. In addition, the effect of the extract on the testicular histology and on the activity of two antioxidant enzymes, viz. superoxide dismutase and catalase in testicular homogenate were determined. Administration of the methanol extract at 200 mg=kg body weight for 28 days altered significantly the various components of the sexual behavior study. The extract increased significantly mounting latency (ML) and intromission latency (IL) with a significant reduction in mounting frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF), and post-ejaculatory interval (PEI). Examination of the testicular histology revealed that the extract favors spermatogenesis by enhancing the proliferation of the seminiferous epithelium. Further, a significant increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase was observed in rats treated with methanol extract of T. glaberrima. Therefore, the current findings provide experimental evidence that the extract of T. glaberrima possesses aphrodisiac properties.

“…Like Serenoa repens, it improves a variety of urinary symptoms such as urinary frequency, nocturia, flow interruption, after-dribbling, weak stream, and hesitation [128]. Additionally, pygeum increases prostatic secretions and improve the composition of the seminal fluid [129], besides raising patient's capacity to achieve erections [130].…”

While prostate cancer is the most common male malignancy in the West, it is ranked as the number two cancer death for non-smokers in many developing countries. This case study demonstrates how an early stage prostate cancer might be treated by a comprehensive and evidence-based nutritional cum phytotherapy if patient is given the option of using it. According to the ANMP (www.anmp.org.my), a nutritional therapy is used to treat, control, or prevent chronic disorders by impacting on the hormonal, neurological, and immune functions of the patient. It may take a decade or longer to develop a malignancy. Three quarter of prostate cancer occurs in men over fifty five years when they go through andropause, which is evidenced partly by elevation in their oestrogen levels. However, being overweight or obese may trigger early progression of prostate cancer in men.

“…Sperm motility is affected by the pH of prostatic fluid and some studies have demonstrated a beneficial effect of pygeum on prostatic fluid pH. 47,48 In addition to this effect, pygeum has been shown to be useful for treating prostatitis and BPH. A study of men with these conditions who also had additional sexual disturbance as a result showed that subjects who were treated with an extract of 200 mg per day of pygeum had improvements.…”
