The Natural Ways to Cure Hemorrhoids

By Ron Shimoff

It's the ailment no one wants to talk about, yet the one no one can ignore: hemorrhoids. Embarrassing, uncomfortable, annoying and painful at the same time, hemorrhoids are no laughing matter. What's more, the mere thought of how to get rid of them can be confusing. You might be surprised to know that there are actually several natural ways to remedy hemorrhoids. Before you schedule that procedure with your proctologist, consider trying one for more of these options.
As obvious as it sounds, changing or adjusting your diet can help cure hemorrhoids. If you find yourself straining during bowel movements, consider drinking more water. Studies have shown that proper hydration can assist in softening stool. Avoiding processed foods like cheeses and chocolate as they can make going to the bathroom quite difficult. Adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can soon make your hemorrhoids a thing of the past.
Clean and Gentle
For many, ridding oneself of hemorrhoids may simply be a matter of proper hygiene following a bowel movement. If you normally purchase the bargain brand toilet paper that can double for sandpaper, consider spending a couple more bucks for a softer alternative. Coupling moist wipes with your toilet paper can make cleaning an easier process. If you are currently suffering with a particularly bad case of hemorrhoids, remember to be gentle. The more abrasive you are when cleaning, the more irritation can occur. It may not be a bad idea to consider taking a warm ten-minute bath. Whatever method you choose, the key is to be careful with the affected area.
Take a walk
Did you know that regular exercise can help cure your hemorrhoids? It's true - something as simple as a daily 20-30 minute walk can stimulate your intestines. The more regular you are, the easier it is to have a bowel movement. When your bowels begin to work like clockwork, the bowel movements will be smaller and more frequent. Smaller bowel movements mean less straining, and less straining reduces the likelihood of hemorrhoids.
Do a Massage
What are the odds of a massage curing hemorrhoids? You might be surprised. Acupressure massages are designed to relieve stress in various muscle groups. As the muscles in the lower body begin to relax, including the sphincter muscle, having a bowel movement becomes an easier process. A reminder for anyone trying this method: be sure to drink lots of water following a massage. Water is essential to flush out the toxins released during a massage, and depriving the body of water can cause your muscles to constrict which will not help your condition.
Relax
After you've considered which method works best for you, remember to relax. Regardless of the method, hemorrhoids can usually take a week or so to clear up. Take time to breathe and let your body do what it does naturally: heal. The more relaxed you are, the closer you will be to becoming hemorrhoid-free. Don't worry - soon it will all be behind you and you'll be sitting pretty in no time!
