10. Stinging Nettle
This helpful garden herb can help to lessen the symptoms of BPH. It’s the root and leaves of this plant that can help to shrink prostate tissue. Stinging nettle is a natural diuretic and encourages the elimination of inflammatory wastes through your urine. You can make a nettle tea by adding dried nettle leaves to cup and adding one cup of very hot water. Steep for 10 minutes, strain into another cup, and drink. Drink two or three cups of this tea each day for best results. You can also take a supplement. Most men find that 300 mg daily is sufficient enough to help relieve their symptoms. Always consult your physician before taking any supplement to determine the correct dosage for your size and condition.
11. Apple Cider Vinegar
The astringent compounds in raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar can help to shrink a swollen or enlarged prostate. It can also help to prevent complications of BPH, such as urinary tract infections. Simply mix one or two tablespoons of raw, organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of raw, organic honey in a glass of water. Drink one glass each morning and evening. Some men say they also find relief by adding a cup of apple cider vinegar to a warm bath and soak in it for 15 to 20 minutes three or four times each week.

12. Corn Silk
This is a time-tested home remedy to help fight the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. This is a natural diuretic and can help to improve the flow of urine by relaxing the urinary muscles.
Simply put the silk from 6 ears of fresh, non-GMO corn in 4 cups of water. Bring this to a boil and allow to simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Strain and drink 3 cups of this corn silk tea every day. You can drink it all at once, or simply drink one glass three times each day. If you can find corn silk extract, you can add 15 drops of the extract to one cup of water and drink this mixture two or three times each day.
If you are overweight, you should take steps to lose some weight. Even losing just 5 percent of your body weight can make a huge difference in your symptoms. Obesity is associated with an enlarged prostate.

Helpful info. in this article. I’m 63 years old and had enlarged prostate a year ago. I couldn’t sleep well since I had to go to the bathroom up to 5 times at night. When I urinate, the urine flow is weak and it was hard for me to start urine. The medicine that helped me get rid of this disease was a herbal medicine called diuretic anti-inflammatory pill. It’s effective in my condition.

Saw palmetto does not work for enlarged prostate. Although highly advertised.
Still medically not found the reason for prostate enlargement and certain drugs given to increase the urine flow, but the side effects are very high.
Go for Homeopathy or Ayurvedic medicine, which are safer.
