If you are looking for natural hemorrhoid cures, the ones made of herbs are the ones that might appeal to you the most. However, just because an herb is known to be effective as a hemorrhoid cure, it does not mean that you should use it. You should do your research first before applying an herb to treat your hemorrhoids.
Below are the most common herbs used for hemorrhoid cures.
1. Butcher's broom. Butcher's broom is known by many names: knee holly, Jew's myrtle, pettigree, or box holly. Its scientific name, however, is Ruscus aculeatus and it belongs to the lily family of plants. It looks like an asparagus.
Butcher's broom is known to be a diuretic and a laxative that helps soften the stool and relieve constipation. These properties are definitely valuable when it comes to treating hemorrhoids. The herb is also good at improving blood circulation and treating inflammation. It also helps in tightening blood vessel tissues.
The roots and the stems of the butcher's broom are the ones used for salves and teas for hemorrhoids. Its side effects include queasiness and nausea, and you should avoid using it if you have hypertension.
2. Horse chestnut. The horse chestnut, or Aesculus hippocastanum is a common herb that grows naturally in the Northern Hemisphere. Its other names include buckeye and Spanish chestnut. Horse chestnut contains the compound aescin, which helps in tightening blood vessels and improving circulation.
Horse chestnut seeds are the ones often used for medicinal purposes, including hemorrhoid cures. It should be handled carefully because the aescin content of horse chestnut can be poisonous.
3. Witch hazel. Witch hazel is a shrub that has bendable stems, red or yellow flowers, and leaves that grow in an alternating pattern along the stem. It is common in North America, China and Japan, and it is the herb often used in most hemorrhoid cures because of its astringent properties. These astringent properties of witch hazel are valuable in treating bleeding piles and in reducing itching and inflammation experienced with hemorrhoids.
These are just some of the herbs that you can use as hemorrhoid cures. Even big pharmaceutical firms use these herbs in their own formulation for medicine designed for treating piles.
But you should remember that there are risks in taking these herbs. You should always do your research and find the right options that you can take when you are looking for hemorrhoid cures.
Hemorrhoids can really affect you and it is crucial that you deal with it as soon as possible. By all means do research and find out whats around the net as more information you have, the better chance you will have of finding a cure for your hemorrhoids.
There are lots of hemorrhoids cure products that you will find on the net but you really need to make sure that they will cure you. It is important to look at the testimonials and make sure that the site is genuine.
