Hemorrhoids - Piles

Introduction:

Enlarged painful or bleeding veins of the internal or external anal tissue. This painful condition can often be an early warning signal to assess the state of the digestive system in general. Rectal bleeding must be differentially diagnosed from malignant disease. Anal fissures can be a worsening of hemorrhoids where they have split and will not heal around the anus due to its sphincter movement and stretching on defecation.

Nutritional Advice:

During acute episodes avoid fibrous foods for a few days, replacing these with liquid foods e.g. Superfood, nourishing soups and vegetable and fruit juices.

Avoid foods that directly irritate e.g. coffee, teas & alcohol.

Try omitting dairy products and wheat from the diet for 1-3 months to see if this helps.

Drink plenty of water daily (2-3 litres) straining can be due to lack of water in the bowel.

a glass of water

Natural Healing:

Take cold sitz baths which can help severely prolapsed piles. Also sit on bags of frozen peas or commercial cold packs at intervals.

A slant board treatments will be useful.

Herb Quality:

A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice.
