Whatever the cause of external hemorrhoids for you, there is a way you can maintain your healthier than normal lifestyle and take care of the problem. Using a natural remedy will be the thing to take care of the problem and keep you becoming healthier in the process. As a matter of fact, there are many natural remedies for hemorrhoids that are herbal.

One of the most healing and soothing herbal remedies to use for hemorrhoids is aloe vera gel. You can get it right from the aloe vera plant or buy it in the pharmacy department of a store. It cools, soothes, and helps the skin heal faster than it would without it.

Another good herbal external hemorrhoid remedy, which you can use either as an external treatment or take it orally, is dandelion. You can make a tincture out of it, make it into tea, or take it in a capsule. Dandelion is supposed to soften your stools, making it less painful to go. Another thing you can make into a tea, which will help bleeding hemorrhoids, is horsetail- the herb, not the actual horse’s tail.

If you have pain and itching with your hemorrhoids, you may want to try using witch hazel to sooth them. It comes in liquid form and can be used on a pad to soak the area, or as a suppository. Either way it will help soothe and heal.

You can also use Psyllium Seed in your diet to work from the inside. It will help coat your bowel area, making it easier to go, and help end the need to strain to have a bowel movement. Calendula is an herb that actually acts as an anti- inflammatory. It will also act as a pain reliever. You may use it in a cream to sooth and heal or soak in a sitz bath that it has been added to.
Using natural remedies for hemorrhoid relief will give you everything you need to continue living a healthy lifestyle and end the problem once and hopefully for all.
