Collection: Haemorrhoids
What are Haemorrhoids (Piles)?
Haemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause pain, itching, bleeding, and discomfort, especially during bowel movements. They can be triggered by constipation, prolonged sitting, straining during bowel movements, obesity, pregnancy, and poor diet.
Managing haemorrhoids naturally involves reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and softening stools to prevent further irritation and discomfort.
Natural Support for Haemorrhoids
To help reduce swelling, support digestion, and promote healing, our practitioners recommend:
- Code CH103 Black Garlic Tincture or Capsules – Known for its anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties, black garlic helps reduce swelling, support vein health, and aid in digestion.
- Castor Oil – A natural remedy that soothes irritation, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing of haemorrhoids when applied topically or consumed in small amounts for digestive support.
Natural Ways to Manage & Prevent Haemorrhoids
To ease symptoms and prevent future flare-ups, try these natural remedies:
- Increase Fiber Intake – Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to soften stools and prevent constipation.
- Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps maintain smooth digestion and prevents straining.
- Use a Warm Sitz Bath – Soaking in warm water for 10–15 minutes can help soothe itching and reduce inflammation.
- Apply Castor Oil Topically – Gently applying castor oil to the affected area can provide relief from swelling and discomfort.
- Exercise Regularly – Engaging in gentle movement and physical activity promotes healthy blood circulation.
- Avoid Straining During Bowel Movements – Using a stool or squat position can help reduce pressure on the rectum and ease bowel movements.
- Use Natural Wipes – Avoid harsh toilet paper; instead, use fragrance-free, natural wipes to prevent irritation.
Important Note
While natural remedies can help reduce discomfort and promote healing, severe or persistent haemorrhoids may require medical treatment. If symptoms include excessive bleeding, severe pain, or prolapsed haemorrhoids that do not improve, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
