Hemorrhoid Pain Relief Help

The pain, the burning, the itching, the sheer horrendous embarrassment of knowing you have piles – and knowing others know you have it too. It is a physical and a social pain which is a nasty combination that sucks your energy and your confidence. so when the drugs do not work or give you very bad side effects where do you turn? Hemorrhoid relief treatment using herbal remedies is one option that is being used more and more by people unhappy with pharmaceutical solutions.

The second reason why I prefer herbal and natural remedies is that they work more in harmony with the body than drugs. Drugs are designed to force a result in a brutish forceful way that often leave many parts of the body in worse condition for at least a short time. More subtle, yet effective herbal remedies will often work on conjunction with other holistic treatments for many ailments including hemorrhoids – both internal and external.

One of the big advantages herbal remedies for hemorrhoid pain relief has is that they do not work against the body like much medication does. They are often milder, and work more in harmony with the body when used as part of a holistic treatment for piles. Pharmaceutical drugs on the other hand can be fast acting, but use a very simple and brute force approach to doing this which canbe quite negative on your body in the long term.

So if you think that hemorrhoid relief treatment using herbal remedies might be a solution for you, check the list below for some advice:

• Aloe Gel: You can get this gel from many places as it is quite common, but you can also grow your own aloe vera plant and simply snipe off a piece of the leaf to get the sap directly. It can be applied topically to the hemorrhoid to stop pain and burning sensations.
• Butchers Broom: This is another ointment that can be applied topically. It has a great effect on the itching sensation you get with piles and reduces it considerably. This can stop yuo scratching and rubbing which can hurt you more and make the hemorrhoids worse.
• Calendula: This is another way to reduce pain – but importantly can lower inflammation which can be very uncomfortable. This can also be applied topically, but I find that it can be made into a strong infusion to be used in a sitz bath which works very well.
• Horse Chestnut: This is a nut of course, but an extract can be made of it that is very beneficial to people with hemorrhoids. This extract can increase the elasticity of blood cell which sounds like an odd thing – but the effect is a noticeable decrease in swelling and inflammation.
• Horsetail: This is another herb that can be used to help treat hemorrhoids. It is best used by making it into a tea that you can drink which is not unpleasant. This has been proven to treat bleeding hemorrhoids which can heal faster when the bleeding stops.

Be sure to check with your doctor of health professional if you have any issues with these herbal remedies for hemorrhoid relief treatment. They are relatively harmless, but anything taken in the wrong dosage or done incorrectly can be dangerous. If you use these remedies in conjunction with other holistic treatments for piles you will find that you can cure hemorrhoids for good!

Hemorrhoid pain treatment has long been the domain of external remedies or at least brute force approaches to dealing with piles.

Creams and suppositories and the like had dominated the market where people look for relief from hemorrhoid pain. These come with various degrees of success with some people having serious reactions against such things, others finding no real improvement but some managing to find pain relief for a time using these methods: but not a lasting cure.

As such, perhaps we are paying too much attention focusing on the piles themselves and neglecting the internal health of our body that is the root causes of such ailments.

For instance. One cause of hemorrhoids is constipation and hard stool which can aggravate the anal canal where unswollen hemorrhoids live. This causes them to swell and protrude and generally be painful and bleed. So while you may want to pain to stop the best way to make it not come back is to have better, softer stool through eating more fiber and drinking more water.

This is a very natural internal hemorrhoid pain treatment that works quite well.

There are other reasons hemorrhoids continue to occur in your body though. A hemorrhoid pain relief combination of both tackling the problem area and the root cause will serve you better than a single pill solution because they are just a lie of modern medicine.

Perhaps because hemorrhoid pain relief deal with a problem … down there … people do not talk about it much and as such a few myths have developed that need to be addressed.

This way we can see what really causes hemorrhoids or “piles” as they are often called and as such can find better ways to combat and cure them for good!

Myth 1 – Hemorrhoids Can Become Cancerous

This is completely unfounded. The fact that hemorrhoids are a growth out of the ordinary probably fuels this one but there is no evidence or reason for this to be true.

Hemorrhoids are actually something everyone has as they line the anal canal. They are only problematic when they become swollen and enlarged but this is due to other reasons than cancer.

Myth 2 – Sitting on Cold, Hard surfaces Cause Piles

Again a popular myth with no factual basis except one. Too much sitting down can cause inflammation of hemorrhoids it is true but it does not matter if the surface is hard, soft, warm or cold.

So unless you are sitting on a sidewalk for a living this is not really a worrying factor. However if you do a job which involves a lot of sitting down then you may have one of the reasons you have piles right there.

Myth 3 – Spicy Foods Cause Hemorrhoids

This may be a confusion between correlation and causation. Spicy foods and black pepper and other things that are sometimes linked to piles do not cause them but they can aggravate them further. They can also cause itching and burning down there as well which leads people to believe it is the piles.

They may also cause long and difficult bowel movements also which contribute to hemorrhoids but they are not its root cause … they just correlate to the symptoms of piles.

So knowing this hopefully we can get on to the business of finding the real causes of hemorrhoids and how to relieve the pain and finally get rid of them completely!
