What is Proscarehills, an Ayurvedic medicine for prostate wellness?
Proscarehills is an Ayurvedic proprietary tablet formulated for men's prostate and urinary wellness. Its herbs are chosen for Vata–Kapha pacifying, Vatanulomana (restoring downward flow), anti-inflammatory, Lekhana (scraping) and diuretic properties described in Ayurveda, and include Varuna, which the study authors highlight for its traditional role in urinary health.
How common is benign prostate enlargement in India?
Studies cited in the paper report benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in about 25% of Indian men aged 40–49, 37% aged 50–69 and 50% aged 70–79. By age 60, more than half of men show some evidence of the condition. It is one of the most common reasons older men seek care for urinary symptoms.
How does Ayurveda describe prostate enlargement?
Ayurveda describes urinary obstruction disorders under Mutraghata, and among its types, Vatashteela closely resembles BPH: a firm, stone-like swelling that obstructs urine flow. It is considered a Vata–Kapha disorder, so formulations aim to pacify both doshas and restore normal flow.
How was the Proscarehills study designed?
Thirty men with mild to moderate benign prostate enlargement were enrolled and took Proscarehills tablets for 90 days. Symptoms were assessed with the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and objective parameters included prostate size and residual urine volume measured before and after the course.
What results did the study report?
All seven IPSS symptoms improved significantly (p<0.001): relief was 55.56% for straining, 44.48% for frequency, 44.44% for urgency, 43.82% for incomplete voiding, 42.86% for nocturia, 27.78% for intermittency and 20.28% for weak stream. Quality of life on the IPSS scale also improved significantly.
What happened to prostate size and residual urine?
For prostate size, 42.86% of participants showed marked improvement, 50.0% mild improvement and 7.14% no change. For residual urine volume, 28.57% showed complete remission, 65.86% marked improvement and 5.57% mild improvement. The authors concluded that Proscarehills was safe and effective in the study group.
How should practitioners use these findings?
The study supports Proscarehills as an Ayurvedic option for men with mild to moderate prostate enlargement under practitioner guidance. Proper diagnosis, including evaluation to rule out other causes of urinary symptoms, should come first, and moderate to severe cases need specialist review.
