Natural treatment for hemorrhoids is becoming an increasingly attractive option for many men and women who continue to use over the counter medication to cure their hemorrhoids, only to find that it only brings short term relief and the same condition continues to resurface again and again. There is also the problem with the side effects of continued use of some of these medication that can be quite worrying.
Natural herbal remedies for hemorrhoids however are a different kettle of fish altogether. Most herbal solutions tend to work in harmony with the body, or effect it in slightly different ways than other drugs. Most pharmaceutical grade medication has a very forceful and sometimes destructive effect on the body which makes it work very fast – but can cause weakness and damage to other aspects of your health. Sometimes limited use of these drugs will be worth these side effects, but continued usage can become problematic. Herbal remedies also need to work in conjunction with other holistic treatments to put the final nail in the hemorrhoids coffin so to speak.
So if this has got you interested in natural treatment for hemorrhoids using herbal remedies, below is a list of a few great herbs and remedies that will help:
- Aloe Gel: This gel is easy to purchase from many locations as it is quite common. It is also possible to be even more natural by growing your OWN aloe vera plant. You can simply snip a bit of the leaf and use the sap inside. Either way – it can be applied to the problem area topically to reduce pain and burning feelings.
- Psyllium Seed: You can buy this in a pill form, or you can grind the seeds yourself to add to food, or you can drink it with a glass of water. This seed is used to help with constipation which might be useful, but for any sort of stool this seed helps coat and soothe the lining of the bowels making ti easier to pass stool with less pressure. This will relieve pressure on the hemorrhoid making it easier to treat.
- St. Johns Wort Oil: This is an amazing herb the St John’s Wort. It can be used to help treat depressive disorders and has had similar success to pharmaceutical anti-depressants. However it can also be used to help remedy hemorrhoids! The oil that you can purchase can be used topically to the hemorrhoid to help stop swelling and inflammation making this a very useful herbal remedy.
- Horse Chestnut: An extract of this nut has shown to be highly beneficial to people with hemorrhoids. It has an odd effect where it can increase the elasticity of blood cells. The result of this phenomenon is that it can help to decrease swelling and inflammation from hemorrhoids.
- Horsetail: This is another herb that can be used to help treat hemorrhoids. It is best used by making it into a tea that you can drink which is not unpleasant. This has been proven to treat bleeding hemorrhoids which can heal faster when the bleeding stops.

They are on the whole a lot safer than lab made products when taken as recommended dosages which are usually labeled very well on any store purchased product. If in doubt, always consult a licensed practitioner or check with your doctor first. As I mentioned these are not the only things you need to get rid of piled forever – you need to also add in a bunch of other holistic treatments and lifestyle changes.
