Cure for hemorrhoids
- Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins around the area of the anus and inside the lower rectum. They are called piles as they are derived from the latin word ‘pila’, which means ‘ball’. They may protrude out from inside the anus and are formed due to straining for bowel movement, violent coughing or lifting heavy objects.
Food allergies, liver damage or obesity are also the important factors that can enhance or in some cases, form hemorrhoids. The common symptoms of hemorrhoids are itching, severe inflammation, swelling, irritation or bleeding. There are external, internal or prolapsed kind of piles depending on their severity, symptoms and location.
- To cure hemorrhoids, it is mandatory to eat high fiber diet consistently. Whole wheat products and raw fruits and vegetables are the surest form of home cure for piles.
- Foods rich in vitamin K like dark green leafy vegetables and alfalfa prevent bleeding.
- Avoid red meat, high protein diets, coffee, alcohol and hot spices as they harm the lower digestive tract.
- To get relief from pain, sit in a hot bathtub till the water becomes lukewarm. This can be repeated for about 2-3 times a day whenever pain aggravates.
- Maintain your high intake of fluids and drink only purified water.
- Flaxseed oil softens stool and 1-2 tablespoons of it can be taken during prolonged constipation.
