Have you been suffering from chronic hemorrhoid for the past years which has caused you great pain and a lot of blood loss (till present) or you have been to different hospitals, used different drugs prescribed but still didn't see any changes? I have taken it on myself to help out with natural remedies.
What is Hemorrhoid?
Hemorrhoids are collections of inflamed tissue in the anal canal. They contain blood vessels, support tissue, muscle, and elastic fibers.
Symptoms of Hemorrhoid
In most cases, the symptoms of hemorrhoids are not serious. the normally resolve on their own after few days
An individual with Hemorrhoid may experience the following symptoms;
- Pain occurs during the passage of stool.
- Itchy, red and sore around the anus.
- A hard, possibly painful lump around the anus.
- Visible bright red blood after a bowel movement
- Excessive anal bleeding.
Natural way to get rid of Hemorrhoids
1. Cold compress
A cold compress will help the hemorrhoids to shrink and become small in size. it will reduce pain and provide instant relief from itching and it will be easier to pass stool once the swelling is reduced. To do this, wrap some ice in a clean cloth and apply it directly over hemorrhoid. Doing this several times a day will help to constrict the blood vessels and reduce hemorrhoids effectively.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar.
For external hemorrhoids, take a cotton ball and soaked it with apple cider vinegar, apply it directly on the hemorrhoids for instant relief.
Caution: Note that applying it directly may cause a stinging sensation for some time but that will decrease itching and pain instantly.
For internal hemorrhoids, consuming a teaspoon of vinegar with water may provide relief from pain and bleeding.
3. Olive Oil
Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the area and reduces discomfort. Moreover, it increases the elasticity of the blood vessels reducing the trauma of passing hard stool. consuming a small amount of olive oil with food o a regular basis may improve the functionality of the bowel movement due to the presence of monosaturated fatty acid in olive oil
4.Lemon juice
Apply Lemon juice directly on the inflamed area or consume lemon juice with ginger with honey to reap the nutrition benefits of the fruit for reducing pain and inflammation.
5. Tea tree oil
Add one or two drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like castor oil or sweet almond oil and apply it directly over the inflamed area with the help of a clean cotton swab. Doing this regularly will shrink the hemorrhoids until it cures completely.
6. Aloe Vera.
For internal hemorrhoids, cut stripes of the Aloe vera leaves discarding all the thorns, and freeze them. Apply it on the inflamed area for the double action of a cold compress along with a reduction in inflammation.
For external hemorrhoids, apply the gel extracted from aloe leaves to soothe and hydrate the swollen veins.
7. Phyllanthus amarus.
Look for leaves of Phyllanthus amarus, built it to make a concoction, and drink a big glass of cup in the morning and evening until it heals.
