Re: Hemmorhoids

Hi:

Many times hemorrhoids are started when a person is constipated and then strains when sitting on the toilet - the straining causes a vein irritation or rupture. When the feces passes over the area (if dry or hard) it can cause more problems. Over time this can heal completely or get worse, depending on the person and what they choose to do.

Fiber is good a suggestion, but when a person has stools that are dry, dry fiber can add to the problem. Freshly ground flaxseeds (a tbl) in a glass of orange juice in the morning should help; moist fibrous foods, such as, pineapple can help. A tbl of olive oil before going to bed is something simple. I can stress this enough, but water can help so much! If they change their diet it will help.

A warm water sitz bath in comfrey root can do wonders in a very short period of time.

The above are simple suggestions without a lot of expense.

As far as the G's problem that you mentioned... don't know.

I agree with the above poster about stress.... it is certainly a big contributor. Tweet
