Preventing Hemerhoids And Varicose Veins Naturally

Getting Rid Of Varicose Veins And Hemerhoids

Sponsored Links



Hemerhoids are flared up veins that cause intense itching and soreness in the anal area, much like varicose veins that occur on the legs. They are caused from several different factors. Pregnant women are prone to getting them because of the extra weight they carry in the last semester of pregnancy.

Certain medications can also cause them, as can eating a poor daily diet. Straining to go to the bathroom is the main reason people get them in the first place. The best way to prevent them is to eat a lot of roughage to ensure proper elimination.

Available Natural Herbal Medications

Before applying any topical remedies, be sure to clean the area well and make sure it is dry. Aloe Vera is a great soother and healer for this particular ailment. Cut and trim the outer bark. Then insert the piece like an anal suppository into the rectum for overnight healing.

Sage also works as an astringent to heal them. Steep ˝ teaspoon of sage in a cup of hot water and apply with cotton directly to the sore area. You can also drink sage tea.

Witch Hazel can also be applied to sooth veins. It can be applied directly on the vein or can be added into a soak or sitz bath. Fill the bathtub with water and add one quart of witch hazel into the bath water and soak for 45-minutes.

Holistic medicine and herbs applied topically work great on all skin rashes, sores, burns, bites, poison ivy and oak. When it is a natural product, at least you know exactly what you are applying to sensitive areas of your body.

Preventing Hemerhoids And Varicose Veins With Gotukola

The best way to prevent condition and varicose veins is getting to the bottom of why you get them. Some people have a genetic weakness towards getting them. That means that even slight straining or standing on your feet for too long could cause them.

You can strengthen the veins to prevent this from happening. Walking backwards quickly in the shallow end of a pool strengthens the leg veins.

Besides eating a good daily diet of roughage type foods, the herb Gotukola is a great all-natural vein healer. It strengthens the veins and prevents congested veins on the legs and anal area.

Gotukola is sometimes referred to as the “Indian pennywort” because of its fan shaped leaves that resemble a penny coin. Gotukola is a vine-type plant that grows in India. It boasts many other therapeutic and healing properties.

Another natural, non-toxic, solvent compound that is know to be excellent for curing hemerhoids is called Glycerin.

Glycerin acts as a nutrient and lubricant that helps to heal the skin. Apply glycerin directly to the area or tuck a piece of soaked cotton with glycerin on it as you would a suppository overnight.

Incorporating healthy eating plans into your daily diet will help considerably with varicose vein problems and hemerhoids. Whole foods and grains are exceptionally good for those with vein issues. Drinking lots of fresh water will also help to prevent these.
