The latest treatment for hemorrhoids

Always seek medical advice, but here are some tips for you. Practice these early and nip hemorrhoids in the bud.

1. If you are having trouble cleaning yourself, use Witch Hazel and pour a little on your toilet paper. This will not only help clean but Witch Hazel is an astringent which means it will help shrink the hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel is available for a couple of bucks at almost all pharmacy’s.
2. Sitz Baths – get some Epsom Salts and dissolve 2 cups in a shallow bath of warm water (there are also attachments for your toilet). Sit in the water with your knees up to your chest so that your buttocks open and allow the water to soothe the hemorrhoids. Soak 10 to 20 minutes several times a day.
3. Increase fiber in your diet. This means vegetables and fruits – there is no better source. Begin by adding a red apple a day. There is not a truer saying than "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apples are a great source not only of fiber but also of the kinds of nutrients that will reinforce the blood vessels all over your body. The fiber will soften the stools, the nutrition will strengthen the vessels around the anus.
