VARICOCELE
QUESTION: I have been diagnosed for having a varicocele, I want to know if there are some herb to cure that
varicocele.
ANSWER: I am assuming you have been to a doctor for this condition and diagnosis if not, go see a urologist or your
primary care physician for a referral.
Lumps in the testes can be caused by many things, eliminate the life threatening chronic possibilities with a accurate
diagnosis. One friend had been told he had this condition but it was only a sign of a bigger problem in his heart and
circulatory system. I am not trying to scare you simply asking you to be careful and mindful of your health, because
only you are truly responsible for your health.
If it is a Varicocele, this is defined by modern medicine as a varicose vein in the testes, if you are asymptomatic your
doctor may advise doing nothing, if it is a cause of discomfort or infertility he may suggest surgery.
There are herbs that are used traditionally for varicose veins. They include:
Nutritional herbs such as Blackberry, Cayenne pepper (add to foods), Calendula Flowers, Hawthorn berry, Elderberry,
Bilberry/Blueberry, Nettle Leaf, Lycium fruit
Astringing and toning herbs such as Collinsonia, Blackberry (as a bath), Witch Hazel (as a bath, external poultice),
Butchers Broom and Horse Chestnut (both internally and externally)
Under the food and supplement category I would suggest choosing your foods by color, the purple, blue and redish
colors indicate health, and the bioflavanoids contained in these fresh foods help strengthen vascular integrity thus
helping with varicosities.
Nutritionally I would look for bioflavanoid supplements along with Zinc and Vitamin C and E.
