Home and Herbal Remedies to Cure Hemorrhoids

May 11, 2009


What are hemorrhoids?

When the veins around your anus get swollen they tend to start burning and cause itching. They are extremely uncomfortable and painful especially when the person tries to sit or has a bowel movement. They cause a lot of discomfort and are extremely painful when you try to move as the friction causes a burning sensation. In severe cases they also cause bleeding from the anus.

Home remedies to take care of the hemorrhoids

Although there are several medications available to take care of the situation; in order to get relief from the pain most people tend to lean towards home and herbal remedies as well as oral and prescriptive medication.

A simple remedy involves a person applying Aloe Vera on the affected area twice a day. The natural extract is extremely cooling and soothes the burning sensation and the itching.

Yarrow a herb that is available at all health stores proves to be curative in this case. Simply brew it for a few hours to form a strong concoction and soak a few cotton balls in the tea. When it cools down apply it to the affected area.  Do this several times a day to experience some degree of relief from the burning sensation. Witch hazel works in the same way. Only difference is that witch hazel must be applied just 3 times a week as it is an extremely strong herb.

A very effective remedy includes boiling myrrh in water. Let it cool down and then drink the mixture. Don this once a week. It will cause a cooling sensation from within and relieve any discomfort that you may feel.

Drink plenty of water to ensure that you have regular bowel movements. This ensures that you do not struggle too much and have smooth bowel movements and do not have to exert pressure as this will cause extreme pain and may even lead to bleeding.
