Cure Hemorrhoids Naturally

What are the most popular natural hemorrhoid cures?

Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel is a natural astringent made from the natural plant that grows as a small shrub. The extract of Witch hazel is used for cuts and burns. It is also the most popular ingredient in most hemorrhoid medicines. Best of all is that it is all natural!

Aloe Vera
Aloe is native to Africa. It has been used as an herbal remedy dating back to the middle ages. Skin wounds were treated with the Aloe plant. Today it is still used to help soothe the pain of many skin ailments such as eczema, ringworm, common minor cuts and of course hemorrhoids.

Horse Chestnut
The extract of Horse Chestnut can prove to be healing for hemorrhoids specifically for many reasons. One being the anti-inflammatory effects. The other is the fact that it works to actually strengthen blood vessel walls. This will make hemorrhoids less likely to come back since they are cased by swollen blood vessels in the anus.

Butcher’s Broom
Butcher’s Broom is another extract known to help up the strength of your blood vessel walls. Butcher’s Broom has been a popular natural remedy for hemorrhoids for a long time. It also works for general varicose veins.

Eating Fiber Rich Foods
Don’t forget the dietary changes when it comes to hemorrhoids. Shoot for 25-30 grams of fiber. Start your day with a bran cereal. You would be surprised how great tasting bran cereals can be nowadays. Keeping up a high fiber diet will keep hemorrhoids away too.

Self Care Tips for the treatment of hemorrhoids:

• Avoid processed foods as well as spicy foods since they can irritate the bowel after digestion
• Say yes to plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit - a completely natural way to make you more comfortable while treating your hemorrhoids
• Avoid sitting for long periods - get up for frequent walks to circulate
• Drink plenty of water and clear liquids to keep stool soft
• Use wet wipes after a bowel movement  (dry toilet paper may be too hard on your hemorrhoids)
• For extra relief pour some natural astringent (witch hazel) on the toilet paper
• Avoid heavy lifting - as this can cause unnecessary strain to the veins leading up to the rectal area

What are the most common hemorrhoid remedies?

Over the Counter Creams and Gels
Look for Preparation H ointments or generic brands. You may find different types but all of them should help soothe the problem that is already there. If you have internal hemorrhoids most of them come with a tube that can be inserted.

Suppositories
Suppositories will provide relief to internal hemorrhoids. They should have a similar effect as the creams and gels but be easier to get to the source of an internal hemorrhoid.

Witch Hazel
Witch hazel has been used to treat cuts and burns for a very long time. It is another liquid that can help heal the pain. It is often sold for a great deal of money on ready made pads such as Tucks pads. Witch hazel can be purchased by the bottle for a cheaper price.

Sitz Bath
Another way to heal up your hemorrhoid problem - the sitz bath can be used several times a day if you are at home. Sit down in a few inches of warm water and the sitz bath will provide relief and help reduce the swelling.

Stool Softener
Find Colace pills or other generic stool softener pills. An alternative would be to eat high fiber foods such as prunes or bran. However, if you are in a bind trying to find a fast solution and you do not plan to take stool softeners on any kind of permanent basis it can be a good solution.
