To relieve hemorrhoids first look for ways to get your bowels moving easier and more frequently so they produce softer stools. I’ve suggested ways, in other articles, to do this by altering your diet.
Hemorrhoids
Any straining and puffing you do to push hard or even soft stools outside through a bowel movement will aggravate your hemorrhoids and can result in bleeding and pain.
When finishing a bowel movement, ensure you’re using the softest tissue available so that if you wash yourself you do not scratch or aggravate your hemorrhoids. You may also use pre-moisten tissue. Just ensure the tissue you use isn’t colored or scented because these chemical additives may aggravate your hemorrhoids. You may need to take a shower a few times each day to keep your rectum area clean.
Herbs to Relieve Hemorrhoids
Here are three natural remedies that you can use to help in removing your hemorrhoids.
Bilberry
Bilberry’s active ingredients are flavonoids. Bilberry contains a compound known as “anthocyanosides.” This fruit such as herb has been used for quite a long time. In clinical trials, it has shown to be effective in treating weak capillaries by strengthening their walls. Bilberry will provide you hemorrhoid relief.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera gel is an astringent that helps heal open wounds. It is helpful in hemorrhoids by applying the gel directly onto your anus. The best form of gel for this is straight from the aloe plant. If you do not have one, then 100% organic whole leaf aloe gel is second best. You can find this organic aloe at a health food or nutrition store.
If that you get a fresh plant, wash a leaf thoroughly with distilled water. Peel it on one side, bend it with the peeled side and slide it into your anus. This will give you pain relief and lower your hemorrhoid bleeding. Just cut the leaf so that it slips into your anus easily.
Aloe Vera juice, that you drink, is also great for hemorrhoids. It helps to soften your stools and also to activate peristaltic action. If you like aloe juice, then drink around 1/2 a cup of Aloe Vera juice three times daily.
You may add 1/4 or 1/3 part aloe juice into a cup of apple juice to make the taste much easier to handle. To create this aloe-apple juice more successful, add 10 drops of barberry extract.
Barberry is an astringent for blood vessel congestion along the colon and rectum. It will improve blood flow; it stimulates the immune system to resist disease and will tone body tissues. It additionally is effective at stopping bleeding hemorrhoids.
Butcher’s Broom
Butcher’s broom, an evergreen bush, has a history of being used for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. As an extract, it contains “ruscogenins”, which can narrow blood vessels and reduce their swelling and inflammation. It strengthens and tones veins and capillary walls.
Conclusion
Now you can use either of the three herbal remedies for hemorrhoid relief. If one isn’t working to good, try another. Once you’ve gotten the hemorrhoid relief which you wish to stop using the herbal remedy.
