It is June, and summer is almost officially here! While it’s the perfect time to unwind, your health and wellness should never take a vacation. So why does the US only choose one month to focus on Men’s Health? Unfortunately, men’s unique wellness needs are often left out of mainstream health conversations. That is why Men’s Health Month is so vital. I, for one, am excited that this month brings awareness to preventable health problems and encourages good habits for men. If you’re a man or reading this with a man in mind, here are some helpful tips to take care of that bod, both inside and out.
1. Natural Prostate Support After 40
More and more men over 40 are recognizing the importance of caring for this gland, even if, unfortunately, it often starts with annoying urinary issues. No worries, proactive herbal support can make a massive difference.
- Saw Palmetto : The gold standard for promoting prostate comfort and maintaining healthy urinary function. The good news is that the herb is now recognized as a standard remedy and is often a primary ingredient in many of today’s prostate formulations.
- Targeted Blends: Advanced prostate formulas combining Pumpkin Seed oil, African Pygeum, and Nettle root blends offer comprehensive, synergistic protection for long-term health.
2. High-Performance Multivitamins for Men
Men and women have completely different nutritional requirements. A generic multivitamin simply won’t cut it if you want to perform at your peak.
- Multivitamins for men provide all the essential vitamins and minerals for daily well-being PLUS targeted herbs and nutrients that help to maintain healthy prostate function and healthy testosterone levels, as well as offer natural libido support.
3. Cardio Care & Stress Relief
Between work, family, and daily life, stress takes a heavy toll on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Two key nutrients stand out for male heart health and relaxation:
- Magnesium is a critical mineral for energy production, bone health, and blood glucose regulation. It helps you relax when stressed, and is usually the first natural recommendation for supporting healthy cardiovascular function and the nervous system.
- Hawthorn Berry: The ultimate cardiovascular tonic. Hawthorn safely supports healthy blood flow, optimal blood pressure, and cardiac muscle tone—making it excellent for men, athletes, and anyone prioritizing heart health.
4. Herbal Libido Support
Herbs have been historically used to support male sexual health. Restore sexual satisfaction and confidence naturally with potent libido-boosting herbs. Try adding these potent herbal powders to your morning smoothie or taking them on the go in convenient capsule form:
- Damiana: South American tonic for libido support and performance-related stress.
- Maca: Rejuvenating adaptogen from the Andes for stamina and energy.
- Muira Puama: Historically revered as “potency wood” for libido support.
- Tribulus: Frequently used by athletes to support testosterone production and lean muscle.
Of course, as we always say, check with your healthcare practitioner before taking any herbs, minerals, or other remedies, especially if you are taking medications or have a medical condition.
5. Men’s Skin Care Remedies
As a special treat, I wanted to share a how-to I’ve been using for years to take care of my skin during that dreaded daily mirror ritual…shaving! A PRE-SHAVE OIL is an absolutely terrific way to add an extra layer of lubrication and comfort to your shaving routine. And the health benefits of the natural ingredients will extend well past the morning shave.
Now for the outside skin health portion…
First, the carrier oil we’ll be using is Almond Oil. This is the most important aspect, since it provides the moisture that prevents the skin from being nicked by dryness. Next come the essential oils, which will provide the fragrance. My personal tip is to add Vitamin E oil to the skin to smooth it and minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Add in a few more beneficial oils, and you’ll never think about buying this from an expensive boutique again!
The “Dark & Sweet” Pre-Shave Oil:
- 2 oz Almond Oil (Base moisture)
- 1 oz Coconut Oil (Skin softening)
- 3 drops Cedar Wood Essential Oil (Woody, grounding aroma)
- 5 drops Lavender Essential Oil (Calms redness and irritation)
- 5 drops Vitamin E Skin Oil (Smooths texture and protects skin)
Directions: Combine ingredients into an amber glass bottle and swirl gently. Massage a nickel-sized amount onto unshaved skin before applying your favorite shaving cream. Shave and rinse as normal.
