Natural Cures and Remedies for Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anus. These veins can become very stretched (causing pain) and can rupture and bleed. Not a very pleasant topic but one that effects about 50% of adults before age 50. What Causes Hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in the anus and rectum. Possible causes are straining during a bowel movement, diarrhea or constipation, the increased stress on these veins during pregnancy, sitting or standing in place for a long period of time, obeisity, etc. Hemorrhoid Symptoms Internal -- Because internal anal membranes lack pain-sensitive nerve fibers, internal hemorrhoids usually are painless. You will notice blood on the toilet paper or in the water after a bowel movement. Straining may cause an internal hemorrhoid to come through the anal opening. If this happens you may experience pain and irritation. You may feel an urge to have a bowel movement when there is no stool. External -- This type tends to be painful. Sometimes the blood can pool and form a clot, causing severe pain, swelling and inflammation. They can also itch and bleed. Natural Remedies for Hemorrhoids Fiber -- Fiber can keep you from being constipated and also softens the stools so they come out easier and with less force. Eat lots of foods that are high in fiber such as vegetables, fruit and seeds and nuts. Add oat bran or flaxseed to your cereal and muffins. You can sprinkle ground flaxseed on your salad or mix it in your yoghurt. You can take psyllium seed in water or juice. Take about 1 teaspoon of psyllium seed and stir in water. You should drink right away or it can get pretty thick. Bioflavonoids -- Bioflavonoids (rutin, Daflon, hesperidin) can decrease inflammation and strengthen the walls of your blood vessels. Aloe Vera -- For immediate relief apply aloe vera gel directly on the anus. It relieves pain and soothes the burning sensation. Witch hazel -- You can apply witch hazel with a cotton pad directly on your hemorrhoids. It is helpful in shrinking swollen veins. Use three times a day. You can also use a combination of witch hazel and horse chestnut as a salve. It has astringent properties that soothe and shrink swollen hemorrhoids. You can find salves at health food stores or online that contain both witch hazel and horse chestnut along with some other herbs that are also helpful. Butchers Broom -- This herb has traditionally been used for hemorrhoids and varicose veins. It can help narrow blood vessels and decrease swelling and inflamation. The active compound in butchers broom is called "ruscogen". It strengthens and tones veins and capillary walls. Do not use if you have high blood pressure. Since constipation contributes to the problem, it is necessary to deal with it as well. Go to my constipation web page for further information. |
