Hemorrhoids: natural remedies

«Herbal tea against hemorrhoids

Worry, pain, embarrassment, itching and bleeding: these are just some of the psychological and physical repercussions that can result from the "appearance" of hemorrhoids or, better said, to the inflammation of the hemorrhoidal plexus surrounding the anal orifice. As already analyzed several times in the various articles that deal with the haemorrhoid disorder, the search for the causes is decidedly intricate, considering that it is almost impossible to find a single triggering factor: hepatic disorders, constipation, tumors, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol abuse are connected to hemorrhoids. , stress, pregnancy, laxative abuse and, invariably, nutrition, which always plays a very important role.

Natural remedies

With the advice of the attending physician, the herbal medicine offers excellent natural remedies against hemorrhoids. Generally, a combined product is recommended: the first for internal use (capsules or tablets), which exerts its action in a systemic way, the second for topical use (ointment, cream or gel), to be applied locally for immediate relief.

Natural capsules

A model of herbal product for internal use (capsules, for example) could consist of drugs such as helichrysum, centella and rusco:

• Helichrysum (Helichrysum angustifolium) its essential oil consists mainly of neryl acetate, which in a product against hemorrhoids confers anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Furthermore, helichrysum is known for its anti-edema properties (indicated for hemorrhoidal syndrome): it acts as a decongestant and decreases pain. This action could be enhanced by other plants such as cypress, butcher's broom and centella (vasoactive drugs), or aloe (anti-inflammatory activity).
  In this case, the helichrysum is included in a formulation for internal use, but it could also be present in a cream or ointment for topical use.

• Centella (Gotu kola) and rusco (Ruscus aculeatus) represent the progenitors of saponin drugs, used in the treatment of venous disorders such as hemorrhoids. They are two plants with marked capillarotropic and vasoconstrictive activity: they act at the level of arterial vessels with a vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory action. The asiaticoside of the centella and the ruscogenin of the butcher's broom act in synergy by increasing the resistance of the capillaries, and decreasing the capillarity and the extravasations of blood.

Despite considering a small number of plants, as in this case, the action expressed by them is very effective, since the active ingredients do not involve intestinal toxicity and do not cause irritation, except in sensitive individuals. A product for internal use acts directly on the causes that trigger the disorder, increasing the resistance of the venous walls, decreasing the permeability of the hemorrhoidal plexus, counteracting pain and inflammation, and reducing the dilation of the veins.

Hemorrhoid ointment

Together with the capsules, an oil-based ointment is recommended to be applied locally with aloe vera, St. John's wort, jojoba oil (or shea butter), essential oil of cypress and mint, witch hazel.

• Aloe (Aloe vera gel): aloe is a good help in an ointment against hemorrhoids, as it has an anti-inflammatory, soothing, restorative and astringent action; consequently it is useful in the treatment of open wounds.
• Hypericum (oily extract of Hypericum perforatum): the phytocomplex is rich in anthraquinones and tannins, which exhibit interesting healing, disinfectant and astringent properties.
• Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis): it is actually a wax obtained from jojoba seeds, which comes in liquid form (hence the "name" oil "). It is inserted in a product for hemorrhoids for its remarkable antioxidant properties (expressed by vitamin E) and emollients. As an alternative to jojoba oil, shea butter performs the same functions.
• Cypress essential oil (Cupressus sempervirens) and mint (Mentha x piperita): the essential oils give freshness to the product, promote a pseudo anesthetic action because they reduce the discomfort. For this reason, the topical application of this ointment gives immediate relief.
• Witch hazel (Hamamelis virgiliana) finds application in products against hemorrhoids thanks to its marked anti-inflammatory (decrease inflammation), astringent (help vasoconstriction) and healing properties.

Nutrition and hemorrhoids

The combined use of these herbal products is not enough: in addition to natural remedies, it would in fact be advisable to optimize one's diet through the intake of light, not spicy or spicy foods - which could enhance the "hemorrhoid" problem - and adopt a style correct life and then, if necessary, consult an expert if the disorder persists.
