First decide whether you have piles or fissure, by visiting a non-commercial link: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ayurvedaonline/message/2783 Do not take medicines, first try to obtain cure by change of root cause. Piles or fissures, root causes similar. Life Style
They are
caused by sedantary life style, horse riding, riding motor-byke for
a long time. Low digestive fire coupled with excess food indulgence,
constipation, can cause piles/fissures. Frequent use of harsh laxatives
weakens large intestine and give rise to piles. Hereditary piles, if
present, makes cure very difficult. Many childbirths by vaginal
delivery without ayurvedic bastis during 36-40 weeks pf pregnancy can also cause piles. During pregnancy, constipation is most
likely as blood flow is diverted to foetus and foetus in-turn needs
pelvic space, pressing on colon all the time. Thus pressure on
rectum, gives rise to piles. Mothers have to sacrifice a lot to
children right from womb-stage itself.
Foods
Reduce as much as possible hard to digest legumes, heavy to digest dairy items, fruits with milk, jaggery with milk, onion and milk, seasame
seeds with jaggery, sweets, soft floor items and bakery items,
potato, oils, chillies, spices, red mutton, white mutton. Black seesame seeds with a little jaggery and clarified butter is piles remedy.
Rice, wheat Chapati, Green gram soup, all leafy vegetables, butter,
butter-milk, aamalki juice can be taken.
A root vegetable called Suran in Hindi and Swarna-gadde in Kanada is
especially noted to be good for piles. Cook in pressure cooker, mash,
add a little Saindhav salt and eat. If continued for 15 days,
significant benefits will be seen. Another way to use is to fry it with black pepper and take it with butter milk. This will cure piles within a month. One can take fresh buttermilk in large quantity,
(avoid sour buttermilk) along with this suran mash or fried suran, it will help further. Soups made from floors of Java and Kalthi (Indian grains) are also
noted to reduce Piles suffering.
For relief from pain, one can sit in hot water or apply fomentation
to piles. Be careful if you have the habit of removing pitta by
intentional vomits during morning. Avoid sunbath. Sex is noted to
increase the pain. Application of sesame oil, coconut oil, olive oil to anus at bedtime, before passing motion will help heal the piles/fissures. There are many more remedies ayurveda offers, many of them specific to constitution of each patient. Visiting an ayurvedist/naturopath will produce more benifit.
