Hemorrhoids (piles) and varicose veins are common conditions caused by blood collecting in veins and not returning properly to the heart for recycling usually as a result of a weakness in valves in the veins but also because of an obstruction. Constipation (causing piles ) and pregnancy (causing varicose veins) are the usual culprits, though obesity, inactivity, the habitual use of laxatives and long periods of standing have also been blamed. Veins become "lumpy" and visible as well as painful and itchy. Piles also bleed frequently.
An estimated 50 percent of adults are affected by hemorrhoids at some time in their lives. They often occur during pregnancy (but usually disappear after childbirth), and as a result of constipation. Symptoms of the condition are swollen veins in and around the anus, itching, and pain, and sometimes bleeding when motions are passed. The veins can remain inside the anus or protrude from it.
Treatment
Hot baths and compresses applied to the anus will help ease pain. Keep the anal area clean by washing with hot water after bowel movements.
Naturopathy "Sitz" baths - or hot and cold bathing - is recommended and ice packs can help relieve discomfort. Sitting in the water for five to ten minutes is recommended for piles.
Diet and Nutrition Follow a wholefood diet to reduce constipation and ease bowel movements. Drink plenty of water. Take a large spoonful of linseed seeds with water once a day (not at mealtimes).
Daily supplements of vitamin C (500mg), E (400iu), rutin, and lecithin can help both plies and varicose veins. Increased fiber (bran, oats, cereals, whole wheat bread, linseed/flaxseed, peas, and beans), fluid intake, and exercise can also help prevent constipation and relieve piles. Raw beets are said to help varicose veins and also fruit as apricots, cherries, rosehips, blackberries, and buckwheat.
Herbal Medicine For piles apply ointments of pilewort, comfrey, horse chestnut, and witch hazel. Witch hazel is best for bleeding piles. An infusion of yarrow herb may be beneficial for its astringency and its influence on blood vessels. It is also good applied as a compress.
Consult a qualified practitioner/therapist for:
Aromatherapy
Essential oils such as cypress, juniper, peppermint, or camomile, either applied directly or mixed into a warm bath, ease discomfort.
Homeopathy
A homeopath will prescribe according to the individual case, but Ratanhia 6c, Hamamelis 6c, Sepia 6c, and Sulfur 6c might be recommended. Hamamelis, or peony ointment, or suppositories are often usedl for acute cases. Hamamelis is particularly good for a bruised feeling with bleeding. Aloes, Nux vomica, Aesculus, and Pulsatilla are other possible forms of remedy.
Yoga Positions such ,as "the inverted corpse" (lie with the legs at ,45 degrees to a wall for three minutes every day) can help, and so can yoga breathing exercises.
Massage For varicose veins, gentle massage on the legs, toward the heart, can help. Massage can also help to improve circulation.
