Ultimate Health Herbs Needed By Men Over 50

Are there some ultimate health herbs needed by men over 50 years of age? You can bet the family farm there are! However, before we discover what they are, let's have a brief history of herbal use.

Are you aware there are written records of herbs having been used by mankind dating back to 1600 B.C. when the Egyptians had access to a record of no less than 700 herbal medicines?


Even the father of modern or Western medicine, Hippocrates, had recorded more than 300 herbal therapies himself whereas another Greek physician, Dioscorides, wrote his classic "De Materia Medica," detailing over 500 herbal remedies, which was used by doctors as a medical textbook for over 1000 years.

Nowadays, more smart  and informed people turn to using herbs for everyday ailments than ever before because the natural powers of herbs have proven themselves time and again that they're whole lot more compatible to the human body than their counterpart - artificial chemical drugs - and that they produce more biologically synergistic benefits that can bring forth desired results much faster.

Just like younger fellas, men over 50 can also depend on a "certain" kind of herbs to push their vitality level higher... which then can turn them into more "man" than they can ever dream of.

Here are 7 vitally important ultimate health herbs that all men over 50 should not live without:

1. Hawthorn Berry

Hawthorn, being a heart tonic, can help to ensure regular heart rhythm and strengthen heart muscle. It is of great help at times of stress too.

2. Garlic

Garlic helps to prevent heart diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and abnormal blood clots. The most important benefit among all others is its ability to slow the destruction of brain cells and to stimulate new neuronal connections.

3. Gotu Kola

A traditional blood tonic that helps to improve blood circulation, which then improves memory and boosts alertness.

4. Milk Thistle

This is considered as the "King of Liver Detox," because it can heal liver damage caused by too much alcohol and drugs. Its powerfulness far exceeds vitamin C and E combined!

5. Black and Green Tea

Drinking such healthful teas can help to detoxify, reduce and eliminate buildup of plaque in arteries and thus lower the chance of heart diseases. Free radicals, formation of cancer, growth of cancer...are out of the question with daily intake of black and green tea. Yes, it's that powerful!

6. Saw Palmetto

It limits the multiplication of protein cells and prohibits tissue swelling. Older men who suffer from frequent, painful urination and fluid retention will see quick relief after using this herbal.

7. Tribulus Terrestris
