Hemorrhoid Cream Recipe
Sometimes you will see recommendations about what natural things to use to treat hemorrhoids. Why not try making your own hemorrhoid cream to apply to the area, using a combination of the products that have been proven to help with hemorrhoid symptoms, can be used topically, and will work well together?
By using a base that is thick and creamy, such as Aloe Vera, you can combine one or more of the following things to create your own homemade hemorrhoid cream:
• Aloe Vera: If you have an Aloe plant, you can break off a stem and squeeze out the thick gel inside. It contains healing properties that are used in many medications and remedies. Aloe is especially helpful in healing burns, scratches, and other mild injuries. It will be soothing, and help alleviate the symptoms of burning, itching, and pain.
• Witch Hazel: Witch Hazel is usually liquid. Mixing it with aloe vera will make the hemorrhoid cream a little thinner, but it will be more effective. Witch Hazel is soothing to the inflamed area, and will help heal the hemorrhoid. The symptoms of burning and itching will become less obvious, and you will notice a big difference in how your bottom feels.
• Butchers Broom: Butchers Broom can be added to the mixture. It is effective to treat inflammation, and vein problems. Since hemorrhoids are veins which have become inflamed and irritated, this would be a good ingredient to use. If you have high blood pressure, are taking certain medications, are pregnant or nursing, or if you suffer from benign prostate hyperplasia, you should not take Butchers Broom. If you have any concerns such as those or any others, consult your doctor before use.
• Horse Chestnut: Horse Chestnut helps with vein problems, such as circulation problems. It helps make blood vessels stronger, and is used to help with inflammation. Horse chestnut shouldn’t be used by anyone who has allergies to it or any horse chestnut product, any type of blood disorder, or anyone taking certain medications for blood problems. Be aware of what part of the plant you use, more mature parts of the plant are poisonous. Sometimes side effects can occur, and include kidney or liver damage, bleeding and bruising.
While these products are most often okay to use, ask your doctor if you have any questions. Making your own hemorrhoid cream may be the answer you have been looking for to help with all the minor symptoms of mild hemorrhoids. If the hemorrhoids get worse, consulting your doctor is a good idea.
