I'm a big believer in Essential Oils, and I came across this video on the Prostate and thought it would be valuable to share it with all of you.
Young Living's newest essential oil supplement, Prostate Health, is uniquely formulated for men concerned with supporting the male glandular system and maintaining healthy, normal prostate function. With just two vegetable softgels per day, the body is infused with key anti-inflammatory components through pure geranium, fennel, myrtle, lavender, and peppermint essential oils, as well as powerful saw palmetto and organic pumpkin seed oil.

The prostate (from Greek προστάτης - prostates, literally "one who stands before", "protector", "guardian"[1]) is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals unless they have it removed at birth.[2][3]
In 2002, female paraurethral glands, or Skene's glands, were officially renamed the female prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.[4]
The prostate differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically.
The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance,[5] that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.[6] The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA).
The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation. Read more here
