Of all the home cures for hemorrhoids, apple cider vinegar works the best. The greatest benefit of apple cider vinegar is that is prevents the bacteria from growing and spreading the infection. It is also very popular for its anti-inflammatory qualities. All you have to do is apply apple cider vinegar onto hemorrhoids three to four times a day. The itching will immediately go away and after a couple days the swelling will go down to. Within a week or so, the hemorrhoids will be gone along with their misery and embarrassment.
Internal hemorrhoids require drinking the apple cider vinegar, as topical application is not possible.
Some may find this next suggestion a bit odd, but people who’ve tried it say that it has worked for them. First, you will need to put a stool in front of your toilet. The stool should be short, only six inches in height, and you can even stack up some hardback books if necessary. You should put your feet on this stool when you are passing a bowel movement. This will raise your knees, reduce the strain on your anal canal and ease the bowel movement. Because excessive straining causes existing hemorrhoids to become worse and possibly spread, avoiding that straining will help them to heal on their own.
After passing stool, avoid using a coarse tissue paper to wipe up. It’s better to use a slightly moistened tissue, or baby wipes for this purpose. The best option is using a pad that is soaked in witch hazel. Not only will this be more comfortable as the hemorrhoids won’t be irritated and made worse, but it will also clean the area completely to prevent spreading.
Cayenne pepper is also a great natural cure for hemorrhoids. You can use it in several different ways. It can be applied directly to the hemorrhoid as a salve. Or, you can have capsules made from cayenne pepper to cure internal hemorrhoids.
With so many natural cures to choose from, you should be able to find one that will work for you and help you to be free from the misery of hemorrhoids. Most of it depends on finding which cure you are most comfortable with and that works the best for you. You don’t have to worry about any side effects since all these cures are natural. Therefore, you can try them one after the other to see what will work best for you.
