A Natural Way to Alleviate Hemorrhoids Pain

By Aneron Kepasil

A hemorrhoid is simply an enlarged vein around or inside of the anal sphincter. The affected vein is typically swollen and inflamed. An important fact about hemorrhoids is that the blood vessels are weakened and therefore have poor circulation. They typically need to be emptied of some of the blood. Anything that places too much pressure on the veins in and around the anal sphincter can cause hemorrhoids. This includes constipation, diarrhea, pregnancy, childbirth, excess weight, and heavy lifting. A myth about hemorrhoids is that it nothing can be done to get rid of them. This is incorrect. The good news about hemorrhoids is that there are natural remedies for curing the problem. Many things can be done about hemorrhoids, including several solutions that utilize natural ingredients.

Another common and simple hemorrhoid home remedy is the application of ice and heat to shrink the hemorrhoid and encourage it to heal. Apply ice, such as a single ice cube, to the hemorrhoid or the anal area, for at 10 minutes every day. Then apply a moist, warm towel to the anal area for up to 20 minutes. This is best done after an aggravating bowel movement that has caused pain or irritation to the hemorrhoid.

Although keeping your diet under control helps ease the pain, it does not always make the hemorrhoid or the pain go away. There are many natural herbs that people have found help not just ease but often cure painful hemorrhoids. Witch hazel is a liquid that is softly rubbed on the area to lessen the swelling. Butchers broom is another herb known for contracting and strengthening the veins. Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow and lessens the swelling. a final herb known for calming the irritation is mullein. Each of these herbs can be found at a local GNC or vitamin store.

The first step to curing hemorrhoids is first easing the symptoms. Keeping the area clean and maintaining a healthy diet can help calm the painful hemorrhoids. Most additional discomfort comes from constipation, a good diet of fiber, fruits and veggies can lessen the pressure. In addition to cleaning the area, warm sitz baths and heating pads have been known to also relieve the swelling and itching.

Hemorrhoid sufferers often seek treatments in a doctors office. A common procedure is banding hemorrhoids which will likely be considered by a doctor. Banding hemorrhoids involves the removal of hemorrhoids by placing a rubber band around it, effectively cutting off the blood supply. After a couple of weeks, the hemorrhoid will fall off. Unfortunately, banding hemorrhoids can cause several complications. These include infection, blood clots which will cause further problems with hemorrhoids, increased discomfort instead of pain relief, and excessive bleeding. These complications make many people wary of banding hemorrhoids.

The treatments listed above are not the only natural way to do away with embarrassing hemorrhoids. Thankfully there is now a capsule that you may take to help get the hemorrhoid to go away. Calmovil is the only product that helps with the proper blood flow and helps to make sure blood clots dissolve naturally. Calmovil is formulated to help reduce pain, take away the swelling, shrink the hemorrhoid, stop itching and bleeding. Calmovil also helps to strengthen veins and helps to prevent any infections of the hemorrhoid. Last but not least, Calmovil regulates the digestive system by calming it down. - 14130
