Home Remedies For Hemorrhoids - How To Get Rid Of Your Hemorrhoids Fast

By Crystal Adeyemi

The best natural remedies for hemorrhoids are what I talk about in this article. Like many women, my hemorrhoids started with my second pregnancy. After I had my daughter and the hemorrhoids did not go away, I was given the option to have it surgically removed by my doctor.

My doctor also informed me that having them surgically removed did not guarantee that the hemorrhoids would never return. I made the decision there and then to cure my hemorrhoids my self using natural means.

These tow natural remedies for hemorrhoids when used in conjunction with a high fibre diet should cure your hemorrhoids, because they are what I used to cure mine.

The good news about using these natural remedies is that you will not suffer any side effects, unlike the synthic drugs and suppositories that your doctor will pescribe.

1. Witch Hazel: You can get witch-hazel at your local pharmacy. Each time you finish a bowel movement, put some witch-hazel on cotton wool pad and use it to wipe the area.

Just hold the cotton wool pad in place for about 5 mins. After a few minutes you should start to feel a tightening of the hemorrhoids. Repeat this twice a day and you should see a real difference in as llittle as two days.

Witch Hazel is very effective because it is an astringent. By the way, an astringent is a substance or chemical that shrinks or constrict blood tissues and that would explain why it works wonders for hemorrhoids.

2. Slippery Elm: Also known as sweet, American, Indian or rock elm. It is a fantastic remedy for inflammations and ulceration of the gastro-intestinal tract.

It is very good for people who have sensitive or inflamed membranes of the digestive system. You can use t both internally and externally, so it is a good idea to always have it to hand.

It can be taken internally which is how I used it. Simply make a delicious gruel by mixing 5g of slippery elm powder in boiling water and drink when cooled.

These are two easy steps that you can take almost immediately. But remember that your body may not respond as well to these natural remedies for hemorrhoids as mine did.
