Europe.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">It is a perennial plant, and it is widespread throughout Europe.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Its tree reaches a height of 30 cm to 80 cm, it is upright and covered with hairs.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The leaves are long, oval and toothed, growing opposite each other.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The tiny flowers are four petals, pale pink or purple in color, usually blooming from June to August.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The fruit is a pod containing small black seeds.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The medicinal part is the aerial part of the willow and contains many active ingredients, namely: phytosterols, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol), beta-sitosterols and their esters and glycosides, as well as organic acids (gallic, egalic, caffeic<\/span><\/span><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">, chlorogenic).<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Research has shown that the main tannic component of willow is the macrocyclic tannin, oenotein B, and the main flavonoid component is myricitrin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f274646 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f274646\"

ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">This herb is used in the treatment of prostate disorders and its use is especially recommended for patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The literature mentions the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity (COX-inhibitor) of willow, so besides its positive effect on prostate disease, it is also recommended for bladder and kidney diseases.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">As for the anti-microbial activity, it has been proven that willow has a strong effect on bacteria and fungi, such as: <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>, <em>Enterococcus faecalis<\/em>, <em>Escherichia coli<\/em>, <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/em> and <em>Candida albicans<\/em>.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The presence of flavonoids and sitosterol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and thus inhibits the onset of an inflammatory reaction.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">It has been proven that the main tannin component, oenotein B, inhibits the enzyme 5\u03b1-reductase, one of the main mechanisms of action of conventional drugs for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Benign prostatic hyperplasia is considered a complex disease, with a number of symptoms.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">It is considered to be an endocrinological disorder caused by an imbalance of hormones, but also by an increased concentration of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">All this suggests that willow in such conditions has a very justified application, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, after cardiovascular diseases.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Current therapeutic procedures used in the treatment of oncological diseases carry with them a large number of unwanted reactions, so there is an increasing effort to develop natural preparations that would be of great importance in the prevention and treatment of these diseases.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Among these plants, the willow plant, species <em>Epilobium parviflorum<\/em>, was found as the subject of research, which showed a significant positive effect in the treatment of prostate cancer due to its antiproliferative and apoptotic effect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0ee5bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0ee5bf\"
