Using Herbs to Relieve Hemorrhoids ? Aloe Vera, Bilberry, Butchers Broom
To relieve hemorrhoids first look for ways to get your bowels moving easier and more frequently so they produce softer stools. I have suggestion ways, in other articles, to do this by changing your diet.Any straining and puffing you do to push hard or even soft stools out during a bowel movement will aggravate your hemorrhoids and can lead to bleeding and pain.When completing a bowel movement, make sure you are
using the softest tissue available so that when you clean
yourself you don't scrape or aggravate your hemorrhoids.
You can also use pre-moisten tissue. Just make sure that
the tissue you use is not colored or scented because these
chemical additives can aggravate your hemorrhoids.You may have to take a shower a couple times a day to
keep your rectum area clean.Here are three natural remedies that you can use to aid in eliminating your hemorrhoids.Aloe VeraAloe Vera gel is an astringent that helps to heal open
wounds. It is useful in hemorrhoids by applying the gel
directly onto your anus. The best type of gel for this is
directly from the aloe plant. If you don't have one, then
100% organic whole leaf aloe gel is second best.
You can get this organic aloe at a health food 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 outward, and slip it into your anus. This will provide
you with pain relief and reduce your hemorrhoid bleeding.
Just trim down the leaf so it slides into your anus easily.Aloe Vera juice, that you drink, is also good for hemorrhoids.
It helps to soften your stools and to activate peristaltic
action. If you like aloe juice, then drink around 1/2 a cup of
Aloe Vera juice three time a day.You can add 1/4 or 1/3 part aloe juice to a cup of apple
juice to make the taste easier to handle.
To make this aloe-apple juice more effective, add 10 drops
of barberry extract.Barberry is an astringent for blood vessel congestion along
the colon and rectum. It will improve blood circulation; it
stimulates the immune system to resist disease, and will
tone body tissues. It also is capable of stopping bleeding
hemorrhoids.BilberryBilberry's active ingredients are flavanoids. Bilberry contains
chemical called "anthocyanosides." This fruit like herb has
been used in Europe for a long time. In clinical studies, it
has shown to be effective in treating weak capillaries by
strengthening their walls.Buy the 25% standardized formula and take 100 mg three
times a day of bilberry. Bilberry will give you hemorrhoid relief.Butcher's BroomButcher's broom, an evergreen bush, has a history of being
used for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. As an extract, it
contains "ruscogenins", which can narrow blood vessels and
decrease their inflammation and swelling. It strengthens
and tones veins and capillary walls.Take 100 mg of butcher's broom three times a day. Use the
type that has 9-11% ruscogenins.Now you can use either of the three herbal remedies for hemorrhoid relief. If one is not working to good, try the other. Once you have gotten the hemorrhoid relief that you want stop using the herbal remedy.Rudy Silva has a Physics degree from the University of San Jose California and is a Natural Nutritionist.

Fruits, Juices, and Food for Relieving Hemorrhoids Part II
Eating the right kind of food and following good eating habits will speed up your healing of your hemorrhoids. If you have a diet that is hard to digest and moves slowly through your colon, then, expect to have constipation which will encourage formation of hemorrhoids or prevent the their healing.Here are some foods that will help give you relief from hemorrhoidsUse the following foods to help reduce hemorrhoid bleeding:* Alfalfa* Dark green leafy vegetables* Blackstrap molasses* Flax seeds ? are high in omega-3 oils, which reduce
inflammation and pain. They are also high in fiber.* Lima and butter beans are high in iron, which help to
build more blood. If you have bleeding hemorrhoids,
adding lima beans to your diet would be a good
choice.*Sweet potatoes provide fiber, B vitamins, iron,
potassium and many other vitamins and minerals.
This is a good body building food.If after trying different hemorrhoid remedies listed here for up to two week and your hemorrhoids do not have shrunk or go away, you
might consider seeing a doctor. You need to find out if your hemorrhoids exist because of a more serious medical condition.See your doctor right away if you have a lot of anal bleeding, a lot of blood in your stools, heavy pain, or fecal incontinence.Ginger, Garlic, and OnionAdd these three herbs ? ginger, garlic, onions - to your diet. Each one of these helps to break down fibrin. As I mentioned before excess fibrin creates inflammation and blood congestion by trying to repair arteries and veins.Iron foodsHere are the foods that contain iron to help you build up
your blood or to keep iron in reserve, if you ever need it.* Chicken liver, steamed crab* Beef liver* kelp* Prunes* Dried apricots* Blackstrap molasses* Spinach* Sunflower seeds* Pistachios* Cashews, almonds, sesame seeds* Baked potatoes* Cooked Swiss chard* Lima beans,* Raisins* Cooked broccoli* TunaOilsAt every meal, use olive oil, flax seed oil, and apple cider
vinegar in your salad. In your soups or other food dishes where it's appropriate, use olive and flax seed oil.At the end of each meal take your capsule of fish oil.
Fish oil is probably one of the most important oils to use
daily. Read other articles I have written on fish oil..SaladsEat plenty of salads with raw vegetable. Vegetables and
fruits that you heated destroy their natural enzymes and turn calcium into an inorganic form. You body can't process this inorganic form of calcium.This excess inorganic calcium moves into body areas that
are sluggish and precipitates in these areas causing inflammation and disease. One area that can migrate to is the rectum where it activates
the formation of hemorrhoids.So eat plenty of raw vegetable sprinkled with apple cider vinegar, flaxseed oil, and olive oil.There you have it. Plenty of food remedies that can give you temporary relief, reduce bleeding, reduce swelling, eliminate itching, and cure your hemorrhoids.Rudy Silva has a Physics degree from the University of San Jose California and is a Natural Nutritionist.
