The Original Witch Store

Growing throughout Southern Africa, the Pygeum Tree (Pygeum Africana), also known as African Plum, is a large evergreen that has been utilized by natives to the region for ages. Its wood is popularly used within the construction both of homes and tools, and it produces a brown plum-like fruit that natives and local animals frequently eat. However, the Pygeum`s claim to fame is its bark. Containing an oil with a variety of active ingredients, it is currently the subject of scientific study but has been used by locals for centuries in treating "Old Man Disease," or prostate enlargement. This medicinal practice among South African tribes has spread into more mainstream medicinal science, and studies have shown that the bark can be quite useful in treating benign prostate enlargement, providing relief to those who suffer from the symptoms. This is a 1 oz packet of Pygeum Bark powder.
