Using herbs to relieve hemorrhoids - aloe vera, blueberry and butcher's broom

To relieve hemorrhoids, first look for ways to get your bowels moving more easily and frequently so they produce softer stools. I have suggested ways to do this by changing your diet in other articles.

Any straining and bloating you do to push out hard or even soft stool during a bowel movement will make your hemorrhoids worse and can lead to bleeding and pain.

When completing a bowel movement, make sure you use the softest tissue available so that you don't scrape or aggravate your hemorrhoids while cleaning. You can also use pre-moistened tissue. Just make sure the tissue you use is not dyed or scented, as these chemical additives can make your hemorrhoids worse. You may need to shower a few times a day to keep your rectal area clean.

Here are three natural remedies to help you get rid of your hemorrhoids.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera gel is an astringent that helps heal open wounds. It is useful for hemorrhoids by applying the gel directly to your anus. The best type of gel for this is straight from the aloe plant. If you don't have one, 100% organic aloe whole leaf gel is the next best thing. You can purchase this organic aloe at a health food store or nutrition store.

If you have a fresh plant, wash a leaf thoroughly with distilled water. Peel it on one side, bend it with the peeled side facing out and push it into your anus. This will give you pain relief and reduce your hemorrhoid bleeding. Simply cut the leaf so it slides easily into your anus.

Aloe vera juice that you drink is also good for hemorrhoids. It helps to soften your stool and activate the peristaltic effect. If you like aloe juice, drink about half a cup of aloe vera juice three times a day.

You can add 1/4 or 1/3 part aloe juice to a cup of apple juice to make the flavor easier to manage. To make this aloe apple juice more effective, add 10 drops of barberry extract.

Barberry is an astringent for unclogging blood vessels along the colon and rectum. It will improve blood circulation; It stimulates the immune system to resist disease and strengthens body tissues. It is also able to stop bleeding hemorrhoids.

Blueberry

Blueberry active ingredients are flavonoids. Heidelbeere enthält eine Chemikalie namens „Anthocyanoside“. This fruit-like herb has long been used in Europe. In clinical studies, it has proven effective in treating weak capillaries by strengthening their walls.

Purchase the 25% standardized formula and take 100 mg of blueberry three times daily. Blueberry relieves hemorrhoids.

Butcher's broom

Butcher's broom, an evergreen bush, has historically been used for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. As an extract, it contains “Ruscogenins”, which can constrict blood vessels and reduce their inflammation and swelling. It strengthens and tightens veins and capillary walls. Take 100 mg of butcher's broom three times daily. Use the type with 9-11% ruscogenins.

Now you can use any of the three herbal remedies for hemorrhoid relief. If one doesn't work well, try the other. Once you have received hemorrhoid relief, you will want to stop using the herbal remedy.
