If hemorrhoids are making your life unpleasant and you’ve already exhausted the traditional over the counter and home hemorrhoid cure, try some herbal remedies instead. Aloe, witch hazel and butcher’s broom are on the top of the list when it comes to fast, effective relief from the burning and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Nakhwa (Bishop’s weed), is an Arabic cure for hemorrhoids and can be consumed in the form of a hot beverage, often substituted for coffee in Arabic countries. A whole bevy of Chinese remedies can be used to treat the symptoms and underlying causes of hemorrhoids such as poor blood circulation and flatulence. However, it would be better to consult your local herbalist before self-medicating with herbs designed to increase blood pressure. Other herbal cures include avoiding nutmeg, drinking fresh Wheatgrass juice, consuming lily flower and honey tea, grinding burnt chestnut shells into honey and adding to food, eating boiled figs or boiled persimmons, and even eating banana peels on an empty stomach. There are numerous hemorrhoid cures available but always consult a professional before trying to self-medicate as that may do more harm than good.
