Pygeum

Pygeum is a herbal remedy containing extracts from the bark of Prunus africana. It is used as to alleviate some of the discomfort caused by inflammation in patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the UK, small short randomised studies using Pygeum provided moderate relief of some of the symptoms of BPH. Bark extract is marketed under the brand-names of Pygenil in Italy and Tadenan in France.
