Prunus africanum)
Pygeum (or Prunus africanum, or Pygeum africanum, or African plum) is a plant used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Pygeum africanum is an extract of the bark of the African prune tree. It may have some anti-inflammatory properties.
In the UK, small short randomised studies using Pygeum africanum provided moderate relief of some of the symptoms of BPH.
