July 3, 2008

Hemorrhoids or varicose veins of the anus and rectum are enlarged bulging blood vessels located inside or outside the anus. Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum below the anus lining.

If they are ruptured which usually happens from bowel movements, bleeding will occur. External hemorrhoids develop near the anus; a thin layer of skin covers them.

Bleeding can occur if they are ruptured and before that, you should require natural treatment for hemorrhoids. There is no known cause although it is considered that diet is a factor. There are other conditions such as anal fissures that are often incorrectly associated with hemorrhoids. Bleeding could be as a result of these conditions and treatment should be specific to that condition. More than half the world’s population will develop hemorrhoids mainly after the age of 30. Pregnant women due to the pressure exerted have a predisposition to develop them.

Hemorrhoids are usually caused by big pressure forced upon the rectum or anus often from (but not limited to) constipation, heavy lifting, and remaining seated for very long periods of time. These things can all put stress on the rectal/anal area and cause veins to bulge. These bulging veins in the rectal area are what hemorrhoids are. When someone who has developed hemorrhoids goes to the bathroom or sits down, their condition is further aggravated and inflamed. As you can imagine this can be very frustrating since sitting and going to the bathroom are two things we all the time.

Few of the effective natural treatment for hemorrhoids or Piles

Pilewort

One great herb for treating hemorrhoids, whose name actually implies it’s use, is pilewort. It tonifies the blood vessels plus stops bleeding and hence is natural treatment for hemorrhoids. Pilewort may be taken internally as an alcohol based tincture or even a tea and it can also be applied externally as an ointment.

Pine Bark And Grape Seed

The swelling of your veins is what causes hemorrhoids to be so painful and pine bark and grape seed contain anthocyanins and proanthocyanins which help with the integrity of your veins, therefore helping to keep hemorrhoids in check. You can also get anthocyanins and proanthocyanins through eating more berries such as blackberries, blueberries and strawberries and also cherries.
