What is Pygeum?

Pygeum is a botanical that is used for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and for generalized urinary-tract troubles, fever, stomach ache, and as an aphrodisiac. The hydrocyanic acid content conveys a pleasant almond flavor, and milk-based infusions are sometimes substituted for almond milk.
