Natural Treatments for Piles
Piles also known as hemorrhoids are a mass of dilated veins and swollen tissues, at the outer end of the anus or nearby, within the rectum. Whether dry or bleeding, piles can be both discomforting and painful.
Some of the probable reasons and causes behind the occurrence of piles are listed below:
1. Constipation for a prolonged period can cause varicosity of the veins, due to tremendous pressure on the rectum.
2. Sitting for too long on the pot and straining the anal region.
3. Obesity is one of the cardinal factors for occurrence of piles, especially fat accumulated in the lower abdominal area.
4. Any perceptible effort or pressure on the rectal area can cause piles, even things like prolonged laborious cough.
However, there is no need to get upset; several natural remedies are there to help cure piles. All these can be prepared at home to keep piles at bay. The following natural homemade remedies will certainly prove helpful.
Black Mustard:
Add some powdered black mustard to a bowl full of yogurt. Have this mixture followed by a glass of buttermilk. Do give this simple remedy a try as it is one of the most useful in curing piles.
Pomegranate peel:
In a bowl of water, add peels of pomegranate and bring it to a boil. Have it once in the morning and once in the evening. And in about a months time you’ll experience significant relief.
Buttermilk and ginger:
Buttermilk made from cow’s milk, to which ginger, rock-salt and peppercorns have been added helps to reduce the pain and inflammation instantly.
Homemade Remedies for Bleeding Piles:
There are a few natural treatments that can be prepared at home, especially for bleeding piles. For one, grind some black mustard and add this to goat’s milk (that’s difficult to get but is worth the effort) with sugar and have it every morning.
Another soothing remedy for the bleeding piles can be made by mixing in tamarind flowers and pomegranate juice with some yogurt. This is best had after lunch.
Radish is also an excellent healer. Grate some white radish and squeeze out the juice. Mix half a cup of this with some honey and apply this homemade emollient on the affected area. It will soothe the inflammation and provide some instant relief. Besides honey, you can also add in some milk to it to get some extra pacifying effect.
Besides following these remedies, we’ll suggest that you watch out your diet too, as dietary habits are essential to keep a check on piles.
