    Ox-Eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) and Prostate Health: A Scholarly Overview

    Ox-Eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) and Prostate Health: A Scholarly Overview

    Taxonomy and Identity Ox-eye daisy is often confused with the common lawn daisy (Bellis perennis) and the ornamental Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum). Correct identification is essential, as chemical composition and traditional uses differ between species. Phytochemistry (What’s in it?) Modern analyses of ox-eye daisy flower-head essential oil reveal a complex mixture of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, with major

    Oswego Tea (Monarda didyma) and Prostate Health

    Oswego Tea (Monarda didyma) and Prostate Health

    Abstract Oswego tea—also known as scarlet bee balm, bergamot (herb), or Monarda didyma—is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae) traditionally consumed as a fragrant herbal infusion. This review synthesizes what is known (and not known) about its potential relevance to prostate health and lower-urinary-tract well-being, with attention to phytochemistry, plausible mechanisms, ingestion methods, safety, and

    Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) and Men’s Prostate Health

    Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) and Men’s Prostate Health

    Abstract Ostrich fern fiddleheads are an edible seasonal vegetable rich in antioxidants, carotenoids, and essential fatty acids. Despite promising nutritional properties, there are no clinical trials evaluating ostrich fern for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, prostate cancer, or urinary outcomes. Any prostate-related benefits remain hypothetical, extrapolated from general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms of plant phytochemicals. Importantly, food-safety

    Osha (Ligusticum porteri) and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Osha (Ligusticum porteri) and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Abstract Osha (Ligusticum porteri) is a North American umbellifer long used in Indigenous and Hispanic traditional medicine, mostly for respiratory complaints. Modern laboratory studies suggest antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions, and its root contains phthalides, coumarins, and volatile constituents with plausible bioactivity. However, there are no clinical trials and no direct human evidence linking Osha to benefits

    Oscillococcinum and Prostate Health

    Oscillococcinum and Prostate Health

    Abstract Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic preparation derived from Muscovy duck (Anas barbariae) heart and liver, serially diluted to 200C and marketed primarily for relief of influenza-like symptoms. Despite its popularity, high-quality evidence does not support efficacy beyond placebo for flu, and there is no clinical evidence that Oscillococcinum benefits prostate conditions (e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH], prostatitis, prostate cancer)

    Orris (Iris Rhizome): Effects on Prostate Health, Urinary Benefits, and Ingestion Methods

    Orris (Iris Rhizome): Effects on Prostate Health, Urinary Benefits, and Ingestion Methods

    Orris is the dried and aged rhizome of certain Iris species, primarily Iris pallida, Iris germanica, and Iris florentina. While best known for its use in perfumery due to its distinct violet-like fragrance, Orris also has a long history in traditional herbal medicine. Historically, it has been used as a diuretic, expectorant, and remedy for various ailments, including urinary issues.

    Ornithine α-Ketoglutarate (OKG) and Prostate Health

    Ornithine α-Ketoglutarate (OKG) and Prostate Health

    Abstract Ornithine α-ketoglutarate (OKG) is a salt composed of two molecules of the amino acid L-ornithine and one molecule of α-ketoglutarate (AKG). It has been studied for decades in clinical nutrition for its roles in nitrogen handling, wound healing, and recovery from catabolic stress. Because ornithine participates in the urea cycle and serves as a

    Ornithine and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Actually Shows

    Ornithine and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Actually Shows

    L-ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid central to the urea cycle, the liver’s pathway for detoxifying ammonia by converting it to urea for urinary excretion. In clinical settings, ornithine is often administered as L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) to lower ammonia in patients with hepatic encephalopathy. Outside liver disease, ornithine appears in sports and “anti-fatigue” supplements. Its direct role in prostate or lower urinary

    Oriental Arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis) and Prostate Health

    Oriental Arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis) and Prostate Health

    Abstract Oriental Arborvitae—botanically Platycladus orientalis (syn. Thuja orientalis, Biota orientalis)—is a Cupressaceae conifer used in East Asian medicine. Traditional uses center on bleeding disorders (leafy twig, Ce Bai Ye) and calming/constipation relief (seed, Bai Zi Ren). Contemporary pharmacology shows anti-inflammatory and hair-biology effects and, importantly, 5-α-reductase inhibition in a skin model—mechanistically relevant to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is DHT-mediated. However, there are no

    Oregon Fir Balsam and Men’s Prostate & Urinary Health: What We Actually Know

    Oregon Fir Balsam and Men’s Prostate & Urinary Health: What We Actually Know

    Abstract Oregon fir balsam is the resin/oleoresin collected from the trunk of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Despite traditional and commercial interest, there is no clinical evidence that Oregon fir balsam—or Douglas-fir teas or oils—improves benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, urinary symptoms, or prostate cancer in humans. Potential mechanisms are speculative and largely inferred from the tree’s monoterpenes (e.g., α-pinene,

    Orchic Extract and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Shows

    Orchic Extract and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Shows

    Abstract Orchic extract—usually marketed as a desiccated bovine testicular (glandular) ingredient—appears in some men’s-health supplements with claims about testosterone, vitality, and even prostate support. A critical review of clinical and regulatory literature finds no high-quality human evidence that orchic extract benefits the prostate or urinary symptoms. Available information consists of product marketing, historical “organotherapy,” and limited animal or mechanistic

    Opium Antidote and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Opium Antidote and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Overview “Opium antidote” isn’t a single herb or supplement. In modern medicine it refers to opioid antagonists—drugs that block opioid receptors and rapidly reverse the effects of opium-derived and synthetic opioids. The best-known is naloxone(used for overdose rescue). Longer-acting antagonists include naltrexone; peripherally acting agents such as methylnaltrexone target opioid side effects in the gut and, in limited contexts, the bladder. Because
