Here are some ways to treat hemorrhoids naturally:
Diet that facilitates easy bowel movement
Constipation is the root cause for the hemorrhoids. In order to prevent constipation, you must eat fiber-rich foods because such foods help your stools become soft and bulky. Your diet should contain beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, fresh fruits and vegetables, bran cereals, and whole grains. Avoid foods that are non-fibrous such as wheat, sugar, cheese, ice cream, meat, processed foods, etc. thereby avoiding development of hemorrhoids.
Consuming more fruits and vegetables will strengthen the rectum arteries and prevent worsening of the hemorrhoids. This is mainly because the chemicals important for strengthening the blood vessels walls – Anthocyanidins and Pythochemicals – exist in the vegetables and fruits.
Drink lots of water
One important reason for hemorrhoids is constipation and you can control constipation by drinking lots of water every day. Intake of alcohol chili peppers will aggravate the hemorrhoids.
Less acidic diet
Itching of hemorrhoids occurs when the stools are acidic and hence the acid level should be under control. To facilitate this, you must avoid food items such as beer, wine, soda, citrus fruits and other acidic juices. Coffee as well as caffeinated products will cause flatulence, reduction in the anal sphincter pressure and increase in sensitivity of the anal skin.
Herbal tea, supplements and medication
Herbal teas not only increase your metabolism but also help in getting rid of toxins in the body thereby strengthening the arteries. The herbal items – butcher’s broom, barberry, neem, horse chestnut extract, Slippery Elm, Psyllium, Witch Hazel and White Oak Bark – are the most popular ones. You can also apply herbs externally on the areas affected. The most popular one in this category is Aloe Vera, which in the form of gel is useful for soothing and cooling.
Sitz bathing
In order to improve the blood circulation and reduce the swelling and pain in the affected areas, you can take Sitz bath wherein you will sit in warm water covering hips and buttocks. In this treatment, the patient takes bath in warm water bathtub covering the buttocks and hips; this will increase the circulation of blood in that area thereby reducing the discomfort and swelling.
Breathing exercise
Lie down on your back, inhale and move your belly up; then exhale and lift the anus. Practice this exercise for 15 minutes, twice a day.
Regular exercises
The blood circulation increases with proper exercise and this improves the bowel movement preventing hemorrhoids development. Obesity also causes hemorrhoids, and by doing proper exercises, you can prevent being obese.
