What’s more is that thousands of men lose their lives to preventable health problems because early detection and treatment was turned down. Here we share some of our best men’s health products link you to great resources so you can celebrate Men’s Health Week and share resources with those you love.

Celebrate Men’s Health Month with Wear BLUE and WAPC

Wear BLUE is a campaign that functions to spread the word of the importance of men’s health throughout the country. Their site states, “There is an ongoing, increasing and predominantly silent crisis in the health and well-being of men. Due to lack of awareness, poor health education, and culturally induced behavior patterns in their work and personal lives, men’s health and well-being are deteriorating steadily. Society is being dramatically affected because men are living approximately 5 years less than women.” The aim of this campaign, similar to Wear Red for Women’s Heart Disease Awareness, is to spread the word and improve men’s health through a grassroots effort. Check their website to get involved in your own community.

Women Against Prostate Cancer is “a national organization working to unite the voices and provide support for the millions of women affected by prostate cancer, and their families. WAPC advocates prostate cancer education, public awareness, screenings, legislation, and treatment options.” Women Against Prostate Cancer is a unique organization that attempts to empower women to encourage the men in their lives to seek treatment and screenings as well as providing an outlet for families affected by prostate cancer.

Products and More Info for Men’s Health

We at Hanna’s Herb Shop have created a section of men’s health items for general or prostate health and hope you’ll consider taking a look. While you may have heard of the benefits of Saw Palmetto for the prostate, there are several other types of herbs and supplements that can be used as an integral part of a health maintenance or preventative plan. Hanna Kroeger created Men’s Special® to support a healthy prostate, healthy urination and to cleanse and detox this important system. It contains Saw Palmetto, Cornsilk and Black Walnut Leaf. Prostate health is crucial to a man’s overall well-being and is closely linked to the health of the bladder, kidneys, and other male organs. The issues of libido and impotence are also important as they not only indicate an imbalance in the physical body, but are important to the mental and emotional bodies as well. Take a look at the general or prostate sections of our site to learn more about the great products we offer.
