Hemorrhoids – Natural Cures

Don’t feel badly if you have a hemorrhoids. It is common but not many speak about it to others due to the fact it seems so personal. Most people can treat it without surgery.

One way to avoid hemorhoids is to avoid straining your sphincter muscles and to take stool softeners if needed. If you work on a hard floor standing for hours that can also strain your body (as well as being overly sedentary) or if you are involved in heavy lifting you may strain yourself. Another recommendation is to not stay on the toilet for long periods of time reading. If you have a desk job try to get up once an hour for a few minutes to move and stretch.

Some factors that may contribute to hemorrhoids include being overweight and one’s genetic lineage.

Is there a natural cure for hemorrhoids? It is good to eat a diet that is balanced and has sufficient fiber, practice good bathroom hygeine and avoid constipation to not put any strain on rectal veins. If you use bran ,remember to have sufficient water with it as fiber without water can make constipation actually worse. Psyllium seeds are good and metamucil is commonly used. Again be sure to have sufficient water whether you take it as a cookie or powder.

Some popular herbs and alternative supplements used by people for relief are bromelain (anti-inflammatory), aloe vera juice and butcher’s broom.

There have also been research studies with the supplement butcher’s broom extract showing that it can help tighten and strengthen veins (this includes both hemorrhoids as well as varicose vein conditions).

Hemorrhoids can be a problem for pregnant women due to the pressure of the fetus.

Soaking in the tub can help relieve symptoms and some people like to rotate ice and taking a warm bath for hemorrhoids care.

Pleae keep in mind that hemorrhoids will not lead to cancer so if there is blood from this condition there need not be panic. Having said that, it is important to know that colon cancer may have some bleeding so you do need a proper diagnosis.

There is a lot of information and product ideas on the net and I suggest finding something that has a money back guarantee as well as testimonials as you look for a natural cure for hemorrhoids to help treat this condition. Also keep your perspective and remember that it is not life threatening if it starts to get you discouraged.
