Hemeroid treatment

Hemorrhoids are caused by dilation of hemorrhoid veins that supply blood to the rectal chamber, and anal sphincter. The condition becomes painful, especially when stools are passed with great force, as is the case when constipating. Consulting a physician is, of course, the right way. But there are a few natural remedies, especially the home remedies that can provide a permanent cure in most cases.

One advantage of natural remedies is they don’t have any adverse reactions, or side effects so they should be tried before opting for surgery.

Witch hazel – this can be applied topically. A toilet paper can be used for such application. It works as an astringent, i.e., it can bring down the size of the tissues, and thereby reduce inflammation at the site.

Water – drink in more quantities than usual. It makes the stools softer and therefore, it is easier to excrete it without much pain, either to the anal muscles, or the to rectal muscles. Of course, it should be clean water. Recommended quantities are six glasses, or more, but possibly eight glasses is the maximum that is needed.

Aloe vera gel – this is again a naturally available remedy for topical application. It has soothing effect on hemorrhoids.

Seed of dried mango – this natural remedy is available in powdered form. One or two grams of this powder can be mixed with honey and consumed. It brings down any bleeding problems of hemorrhoids.

Apart from this, replacing oily food in the diet with fiber rich foods helps to reduce constipation. This means processed foods and junk foods are to be strictly avoided. Vegetables, and fruits are to be included because they contain natural fiber.

Hemorrhoids can also be due to any jerky motion caused by some odd weight lifting or prolonged periods of weight lifting. Remaining seated for long number of hours can also cause hemorrhoid to feel sore. So every once in a while take a break, and walk.
