I have heard that epilobium parviflorum will cause increase in blood pressure. Can you comment? (I am 72 yr male and take bp meds).

Dear Paul
As such there are no side effects of the herb other than nausea or indigestion, that too if taken in high amounts. If you are taking this Herb with any other medications, then it might interact with it and cause some side effects. So please mention that are you taking Bp medicines for treating high Bp or do you suffer from low Bp. Also, why do you wish to use this Herb ? Which condition do you wish to cure with this very Herb ?

Dear Paul,you have to combine tea, breathing, movement and exercise and other nutrition. Exceptional effects if we make a detailed treatment plan. Just tea? It's hard to have a full effect.

Dear Barry,
So far, there are no known cases of drug interactions while using Epilobium Parviflorum plant as an herbal remedy.
Put 1 tablespoon of dried Epilobium Parviflorum herb in 1 cup of boiling water. Leave it for 10 minutes. Strain it and drink twice a day, in the morning on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping.
However to be sure discuss with your health care provider before taking any medicine.

Question: Where are you getting your information to answer these questions? From Medical doctors? There is no M.D. beside anyones name.
 
Herbpathy
24 Oct 2016
We are glad you asked. The Herbpathy team consists of specialists in different medicine systems, like Siddha, TCM, Unani, Homeopathy, Phytotherapy and Ayurveda. Each system has its advantages. A meeting is held for each case and the best course of action is recommended. Different diseases respond differently to the various systems. Hereditary disorders respond best to Homeopathy. Acute disease are best treated by Phytothreapy. For chronic maladies we have to depend on Ayurveda and TCM. For a case of Cancer we might have to use more than one system.
The aim of this multi discipline approach is to recommend the best course of action. At best we can only recommend. There is no substitute for a physical examination of the patient. The knowledge that the family physician has of the patient is extremely valuable. .............. Continued......

For Ed....... We have no idea of the peculiarities of the reactions the patient has to various drugs. Most of the time we don’t even now of the medicines the patient is already having.
Our aim is to suggest various possibilities. The patient must discuss them with his own physician.
Finally we would like to bring to your notice, that most of these systems are well documented. The teachings are mostly derived from clinical experiences rather than scientific research on animals. We leave the deduction to you. Thank you so very much for this feedback. We hope that you will continue to enjoy reading the site and get maximum benefits out of this information.

Yes, you may take it for Prostate Cancer, but it's interaction with those suffering from high bp can be commented on.

Is it good for alopecia?
 
Satsimran
24 May 2017
Apply fresh leaf juice of Amaranth herb on your scalp. I think you must be confused between Eclipta and Epilobium. The best herb for Alopecia is Eclipta.
You can also try Castor oil added to olive oil in the ratio 2:4.
Have you heard of chili infused oil, that can also be used as a cure for Alopecia.
 
S B KHANDELWAL ( India ( Indore) )

For treating my prostate enlargement if Epilobium Parviflorum herb is not available ( I live in India) can Epilobium Parviflorum tincture can be used as its substitute. Please also advise if tincture of land caltrops ( Tribulus Territris) can also help if the former is also not available.
 
Jhanvi Kaushik ( India )
06 Jun 2017
Yes, it is okay if you take this herb in tincture form. I don't think it would be hard to find Epilobium Parviflorum mother tincture. It will be readily available in a homeoptahic store in your area.

Hello All,

I have horrible feelings in perineum and prostate: burning in particular. Urologist diagnozed chronic prostatitis about 1 year ago. In addition I suffered hemmoroids about 1 month ago.

2 months ago i was taking Epilobium parviflorum for 1 month and it seemed to help. Latley sypmtoms had come back and I started taking Epilobium parviflorum tincture again with no improve so far (5 days now).

My question is whether hemmoroids and prostatitis issues could be connected to each other and if so what else i can do to cure myself - any type of herbs/ANY other things i must be aware of?

Thanks a lot in advance to all replied!!!

Hi Tim,
You may be suffering from Interstitial cystitis which can have symptoms in common with prostatitis. If so Epilobium, celery seed and stinging nettle are your new best friends. Also, avoiding acidic foods should help you. There is an IC diet you can try if you’d like. Coffee is usually off limits to IC sufferers, but adding cardamom (as in Turkish coffee) will bring down the acidity. Cardamom can also help in reducing your type of pain. Avoid smoking and all alcohol at all costs. These will cause flare ups almost immediately. I hope your symptoms abate soon.

Dear Herbpathy,
Do this herb have side effects like elevating hormone levels,in blood? I have read, that it interferes with hormonal system. May it cause blood clotting or lung embolism?
I tried to use it for my oily, inflammed skin, but noticed heart pain, dizziness and back stiffness whenever I use it. After discontinuing these symptoms were gone. Is It possible, or merely a coincidence?
Kind regards
Maya
 
Silas ( Botswana )

My elder brother was diagnosed with BPH, alongside an onset of calcification. I am assisting him with an on-going basis by researching alternative treatment for this condition. He has been on some saw palmetto capsules that assisted reduce his night urination. His PSA is 4.2. His sex life is a little disturbed by the fact that he is unable to ejaculate. The medical doctors are telling him this should not worry hime because it is normal for a 62 year old. I find this rationalisation absurd!

Can epilobium herb assist him out of these issues (BPH, calcification, loss of ejaculation and associated prostate problems)? What dosage would be appropriate and for how long?

We will appreciate your considerate feedback and advise.

Tea, tincture, decoction, dried, powder, etc. The suggestion to wait after taking it for a month is to analyze the symptoms and go for the next course then. No side effects as such are reported. However, if you feel any discomfort, you should stop the use. Also, if you are on any allopathic drugs, then please consult your Health Care provider first, before taking any medication. You take the regimen mentioned above and share nay experience in urination or pains after have taken the herb for 1 month. Also, mention the form in which you took Epilobium parviflorum.
