Hemorrhoids. There. I said it.
If you've ever been pregnant, you are most likely acquainted with their joys although there are several causes of hemorrhoids, including:
Constipation
Overeating of a low-fiber diet
Heavy lifting
Chronic diarrhea
and even consuming excessive spicy food
Eliminating hemorrhoids will involve stopping whatever behavior caused them, but there are some things to speed up the process as well.
Here are some of the easiest home natural remedies for Hemorrhoids.
-High fiber diet: at least 30 grams or (minimum) 5 fruits/veggies and whole grains per day
-Cold compress soaked in black tea
-Sit in a cool bath twice daily (the colder you can stand, the better)
-Keep a bottle of witch hazel in the Fridge--apply with cotton.
-Apple Cider Vinegar--apply with cotton
-Drink one ounce of Apple Cider Vinegar, twice daily
-Homeopathy:Taking five tablets of Aesculus twice daily
-Accupressure

"Eliminating hemorrhoids will involve stopping whatever behavior caused them:" Giving birth. Ha! My favorite part of this recent hospital trip to have baby Maya, involved my nurse being a high school friend of Wes's. They were having this whole animated reunion catch-up chatty chat, while she proceeded to check me out for hemorrhoids. Soooo comfortable, let me tell ya. :)
