	Saw Palmetto
		Saw palmetto is comparable to finasteride (a common prescription drug that slows or stops the progression of BPH) in relieving symptoms of BPH during its early stages.
		While saw palmetto appears to produce symptom relief in a much shorter time than finasteride, one important difference between the two is that finasteride shrinks the size of the prostate, and saw palmetto only relieves the symptoms of BPH without changing the size of the prostate.
		Because it effects both male and female sex hormones, saw palmetto may also be useful in treating such conditions as hirsutism (excessive growth of dark, coarse body and facial hair in women) and polycystic ovarian disease (multiple cysts in the ovaries that leads to irregular or absent menses and, possibly, infertility) in women.
