Natural Cures for Hemorrhoid
Hemorrhoid are a chronic painful condition for which there is no known cure in standard medicine. Most doctors recommend surgery which may also prove ineffective. The best way to manage hemorrhoids is through diet and lifestyle changes and there may be some relief through homeopathy.
The most important thing is to regulate your bowel movements and to make sure they are soft and don't aggravate the existing hemorrhoid.
- Get plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Restrict your intake of processed and refined foods. Switch to whole wheat flour products wherever possible. Bread, pasta, pizza and biscuits can all be made from whole wheat or multi grain flour. Add foods containing fiber to your diet gradually over several weeks or you may develop diarrhea instead.
- Reduce the intake of spicy foods.
- Apply petroleum jelly, witch hazel or zinc oxide to the outer area.
- Try not to sit for long hours at a stretch.
- Use moistened toilet paper to wipe the area.
- Take a fiber supplement such as psyllium husk with some orange juice or yogurt.
- Eat dairy products in moderation, especially cheese. They may cause constipation
- If your job involves sitting for long periods of time use an inflatable doughnut to relieve the pressure.
- Sit with your knees raised in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes at least 3 times a day
- Try not to lift heavy objects
- You can also take a supplement called Rutin. This is a bioflavonoid that helps strengthen the capillary system.
- Try and walk around for five minutes after every hour of sitting continuously.
These measures may help reduce the pain and swelling associated with hemorrhoids and may also be helpful in preventing a recurrence of the problem
