«Diet against hemorrhoids
Herbal teas against hemorrhoids mainly exploit the properties:
- soothing, gelling and emollient drugs rich in soluble fiber and mucilage (psyllium seeds, marshmallows, guar gum, mallow and linseed). If taken together with generous quantities of water, for example in the form of herbal tea for mucilaginous drugs, they resolve constipation and reduce efforts to defecate (aggravating factors for hemorrhoids).
- capillarotrope and venotropic drugs capable of improving venous tone and reducing capillary fragility: horse chestnut (seeds), centella asiatica (aerial parts), ginkgo biloba (leaves), witch hazel (leaves), black currant (fruits), butcher's broom (root) , bilberry (fruit), red vine (leaves).
All those drugs with anti-inflammatory, anesthetic and haemostatic properties (ability to stop bleeding) are also useful against hemorrhoids.
The witch hazel (leaves and bark) boasts all these characteristics and as such is widely used in the preparation of anti-haemorrhoidal creams and herbal teas.
Many of the plant sources mentioned here are not used in the form of herbal teas, but ointments or dry extracts for oral use. In fact, in the treatment of hemorrhoids, and of most pathological conditions, herbal teas can be of help, but preparations such as tinctures, dry extracts, tablets, capsules and suppositories, are generally more effective.
Apart from the relief and the beneficial effect that can be obtained by regularly sipping herbal teas against hemorrhoids, it is very important to adopt some specific precautions:
- abolish spices (pepper, nutmeg, chilli, etc.), but also spicy and spicy foods (cured meats, sausages, mortadella, etc.).
- abolish chocolate, alcoholic beverages and exciting ones like tea and coffee
- limit refined carbohydrates in favor of fruits, vegetables, legumes, wholemeal bread and lots of water; Recommended foods include apples, pears, oats, boiled carrots, spelled and cooked green leafy vegetables
- limit the consumption of astringent foods, such as rice and unripe bananas
- avoid overexertion, such as carrying heavy loads, and sports such as cycling, horseback riding, or motorcycling.
