Posted on November 8th, 2007 in Treatment by hemroids

Hemorrhoids is one of the most embarrassing and painful conditions that an individual can experience. In the United States alone, almost fifty percent of men, women, and children have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are varicose veins which build up within the rectum or around the anal canal. Some of the known causes for hemorrhoids are tremendous pressure on the veins as a result of prolonged sitting, constipation, or straining of the stools. Hemorrhoids can bring about extreme pain, itchiness, and bleeding.

The good news is that hemorrhoids can be cured naturally. A wide range of natural treatments for hemorrhoids containing natural oils and plant extracts are available in the market. Let us take a look at some of these natural methods.

Fiber is a tried and tested remedy for hemorrhoids which softens stools and increases its bulk, thereby decreasing strains in the stool. Likewise, it has been proven to reduce pain, itchiness, and discomfort on the swollen area. Consuming whole grains and vegetables can help incorporate fiber into your diet regimen. Just make sure that you drink lots of water or you may end up constipating.

Bioflavonoids reduce the inflammation in your blood vessels by enhancing and stabilizing its walls. As a result, you can lower the pain, discomfort, and anal discharge if you are suffering an acute hemorrhoid attack. These substances are found in most citrus fruits. Diosmin, oxerutins, and herperidin are the most important flavonoids.

Witch Hazel Cream is not to be taken orally but applied as an ointment, medicated pad, or as a distilled liquid to the affected region. It serves as an astringent that reduces bleeding of the hemorrhoids. It is preferred by most people because it provides quick relief from pain, itchiness, and swelling due to hemorrhoids.
 
Horse chestnut is commonly suggested by doctors due to poor circulation flowing in the veins. It offers quick relief from hemorrhoids symptoms such as inflammation and swelling while boosting the walls of the blood vessels. It can be integrated into your diet since they can serve as a tea, taken orally as a capsule, or applied as a compress.

Like Horse chestnut, Butcher’s Broom is recommended for poor vein circulation since it prevents inflammation and contraction of the veins while improving their tone and integrity. Likewise, it can be taken orally as a capsule or tea. Since it has a bitter taste, you can add something to make it sweeter. Recently, it was found out that Butcher’s Broom is most effective as an ointment or compress.
 
These are just some of the natural methods of treating your hemorrhoids. It is still recommended that you see the doctor to get more information about these methods.
