Alternative therapy to cure anal itch
  • Application of beeswax will help curtail itching.
  • Even Rutin is effective in reducing itching and inflammation.
  • Apply an antiseptic lotion to the anus and when it dries off; apply a few drops of mustard oil.


  • You can also apply a little olive oil or coconut oil when itching increases.
  • Keep the anal area dry to reduce itching. After taking bath or coming out from the toilet, gently wipe the area with a soft cotton cloth.


    Apply talcum or corn powder to it.
  • Change your undergarments at least twice a day. Wash them thoroughly so that there are no traces of detergent left in them as they are responsible for causing itching and inflammation. If possible sleep without them at night.
  • Refrain from wearing synthetic and tight clothes.
  • Use moist toilet paper as the dry ones can scratch the area and aggravate itching.
  • Eat plenty of high fiber food and drink lots of water for easy passage of stool.
  • Do not strain while passing stool or itch the area with nails. Use soft cotton balls or a piece of cotton cloth and gently move it over the anus to ease itching.
  • Worms can also cause itching. Apple juice, grated carrot and garlic cure intestinal worms.
