Piles natural cures

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are sometimes only a mild and temporary medical condition. Hopefully, with some simple measures, you too should be completely back to normal in a few months. As a general rule, you should make it a point to drink more fluids and include more fiber in your diet.


Better posture and regular exercise will also help. Avoid tight clothing and underwear.

You should minimize straining during bowel movement, as this is one of the causes and aggravating factors of piles. Also, if possible, use the squatting position. This position is thought to ease the pain and discomfort experienced due to piles, and even relieves the condition itself. Wash yourself gently and diligently with soap and cool water to sooth and keep the anal area clean. Use plain, white toilet paper, and wet it before use. At all costs, avoid scratching yourself, as this will aggravate the situation.

One of the best home remedies that you can try is witch hazel. Apply a dab of witch hazel to the anal area. You can also try a daily cold compress before bedtime. In addition, boil about a teaspoon of cumin seed in water and drink this concoction once a day.
