Though there are surgical ways that piles can be taken care of, most people love to avoid that step by using a more natural treatment for piles, or at least ways that they can stay home and rid themselves of piles. A doctor’s visit is not something that most people will consider, unless they have a chronic problem with piles.
Plantains are a food that should be added to what you eat. These are high in fiber, and fiber will help your stool to be softer. Which means that swelling that caused the piles will go away. If you don’t want to eat more food with fiber, try adding in a fiber supplement to your diet. These are available in pills or a drink mix.
Witch hazel is a name you need to remember. It’s an herb that will help reduce the swelling in your anal tissue. You can find Witch hazel in a topical cream or a suppository. Unlike the other creams that are out there, they will only treat the pain. That’s why it’s a good idea to look for something with Witch hazel.
Combining a cream or ointment with a tea herb of Horse chestnut or Butcher’s broom will also help out a lot. These two herbs have been shown to help with the swelling associated with piles. If you don’t really enjoy tea that much you can get these herbs in a pill too.
Sitting in warm water for about 20 minutes will help with the pain of piles. It’s also a great way to make sure that area is kept nice and clean.
Finally, with all these ideas you should speed up the healing process for those piles rather nicely. Combining the different ways is a good idea too, that way if you are bothered by internal and external piles you have an overall treatment for piles.
