Natural Hemorrhoid Relief Holistic Herbal Remedies

Those of us, who are fortunate, get older. Yet, not everything about aging is fortunate. As our tissues become less resilient and our digestive systems become more temperamental, we can experience problems with our hemorrhoids. These problems can range from swelling and mild discomfort to rupture and pain. Though hemorrhoids are not a popular subject, there are a few things that you should know about caring for yours. You’ll be glad that you took the time to learn them.

First of all, taking vitamin C at levels of a couple of thousand milligrams per day helps to keep you regular. This is especially important if you have a rather low-fiber diet. Regular and softer stools reduce the exertion and resultant stress on tired, old hemorrhoids.

Popular hemorrhoid pads are made primarily with Witch Hazel and alcohol. The Witch Hazel reduces swelling and this is good. The alcohol keeps the product from molding as it sits on the shelf. This however, is where the simple solution ends and it’s not sufficient to address the whole problem.

There are other herbs that can aid in shrinking the hemorrhoids such as White Oak Bark and Chickweed. Yet, in addition to shrinking them, it’s usually necessary to deal with the pain of these distressed tissues. White Willow bark and Feverfew contain natural analgesics, which reduce the pain of damaged hemorrhoids. Having these herbs in the mix just makes things more comfortable.

Mullein, Aloe Vera and Calendula help to reduce the itching that often accompanies irritated hemorrhoids. These herbs are very soothing on damaged tissues and reduce inflammation associated with tissue damage. I’m sure that you will agree, that reducing the itch, the pain and the discomfort is as important as reducing the swelling.

Now that we’ve made ourselves more comfortable, it is also important to facilitate the healing of the damaged tissues. This can be done quite nicely with Comfrey. Comfrey increases the rate at which new skin is generated to repair torn or damaged areas. This is important to the long-term healing and to the short-term ability to keep infection out. During the healing period, adding licorice root produces more mucus thereby making stool elimination smoother and less traumatic to the already inflamed hemorrhoid tissues.

All of these herbs are formed in a water decoction, which is then used to soak cotton pads. These pads are then placed in the region of concern where they disperse the vital constituents of the herbs to provide the soothing, shrinking and healing benefits.

With a solution of herbs that treats the whole problem, this temporary condition can have a happy ending.
