Natural remedies for anal fissure

The symptoms indicate that you are suffering from anal fissures. Here are some home remedies for relief from the condition.

Apply wheat germ oil or Aloe Vera compresses to the anus for relief from pain and fasten the healing process.


You can also use Aloe Vera gel for this purpose.

Fill a bath tub with warm water and sit in it for at least 15 minutes everyday. You can do this as often as 3 to 4 times a day.


This sitz bath will relieve you of any accompanying pain or itching.

Use soft toilet paper for wiping and take care to keep the area completely dry.

Wear cotton undergarments and avoid itching with your fingers or nails. Use cotton balls for this.

Dip a cotton ball in the infusion made from witch hazel or chamomile and clean the area with it.

Drink 1 tsp of nettle 3 times daily till itching and soreness decreases.

Do not strain for bowel movement. Eat a high fiber diet and drink lots of water to prevent constipation as it may aggravate the condition and even cause bleeding. Drink a glass of warm water immediately after getting up in the morning everyday.
