Sitz bath with juniper and lavender oils
If you have swollen hemorrhoids, a sitz bath can help you reduce them and speed your recovery. Fill a tub with warm or hot water. Use the temperature that won't irritate your hemorrhoids. Fill it so that water reaches your hips or stomach, 6-8 inches. Then add 22 drops of juniper and 22 lavender essential oils to the bath.
Stir in the oils by hand and then sit in the bathtub with your knee raised for 10-15 minutes three times a day. This position helps bring more blood to your hemorrhoid area, which brings in more nutrients and draws out toxic waste.
After 15 minutes, shower with as cold water as possible.
After this sitz bath and shower, you can apply one of the herbal pastes or ointments directly to your hemorrhoids and leave it on overnight.
Sitz bath with Shepherd’s Purse
The herbal shepherd's purse can be used in a sitz bath. This herb is useful in treating hemorrhoids by reducing,
* Internal and external bleeding
* Lowering blood pressure
* Relief from hemorrhoids
* Repair wounds
* Reduction of rectal prolapse
Here's how to use it:
Place 1 ounce of shepherd's purse in two quarts of distilled water and let sit for 12 hours. In the morning or evening, let this mixture boil for 2-3 minutes and then strain. Pour the liquid into a sitz bath or full bathtub. Stay in the tub for about 20 minutes and do this 2-3 times a day.
After the sitz bath, you take a cold shower to stimulate blood circulation in the hemorrhoid area.
Witch hazel and a basin
Prepare a small tub, container, or basin to sit in and add warm distilled water. Add 1/4 cup witch hazel liquid to the water. Sit in the small tub for as long as possible and do this as often as possible. This will relieve your hemorrhoids in 3 to 4 days.
0r, You can freeze witch hazel into a small ice cube, then wrap it with cheesecloth and press it against your hemorrhoids for 10-15 minutes every hour. This reduces the pain and swelling of your hemorrhoids.
Use the sitz bath only for the time you need to eliminate or relieve your hemorrhoids. Keep in mind that using herbs for longer than necessary may cause the condition you are trying to eliminate.
