Home Remedies for the Derrière
Getting to the bottom of that excruciating painful and embarrassing derrière problem does not have to wreak havoc on your life anymore. When the doctors methods and prescriptions have failed you miserably, and you are still seeking ways to combat the problem safely and effectively; you as the barer of piles still have an alternative route that you can turn to in order to get rid of the pain, itch, swelling and bleeding of your hemorrhoid problem. With the likes of home remedies, you can toss out the Preparation H tubes and pads that did nothing but bring about a temporary fix for a problem that seems like it will last forever if you don’t find a cure, and find it fast and in a hurry; especially since the symptoms keep returning over and over again.
6
When that pain hits, you aren’t looking for a temporary fix, you want something that will shrink your hemorrhoids for good and clear up the condition, making the pile problem a thing of the past where your derrière is concerned. After all, enough is enough. With home remedies, there is a treatment for everything under the sun; from toothaches, headaches, to tendentious, and the embarrassing and irritating condition of hemorrhoids. Home remedies, the kind that your grandmother used back in the day, can fix most medical conditions safely and without harmful side affects; and not only that, you will find them to be very cost effective as well, which is also good news when it comes to the price of prescription medications today. Just because the medication is expensive doesn’t mean it is the best, or that it will work. Most likely, your own experience has proven to be expensive and non- responsive if you are reading this book, still looking for other alternatives in fixing your hemorrhoid condition. Why do these little monsters keep returning, becoming more than a pain in the derrière to deal with? The answer to that is simple, because you haven’t tried the home remedies that are specifically for a hemorrhoid condition, which is non addictive and effective when you find the right one that will work for you.
7
If you have tried all the remedies as prescribed by your physician and still failed miserably in finding what would work well for your particular condition; don’t give up, because listed below are home remedies that other people have tried and tested, with the results getting a heads-up on what worked well for the individuals who tried them with success. Now it is your turn to find what will work for you.

Chapter 1 Fixing it the Chinese Way If you are fed up with all the failed methods of bringing relief to your hemorrhoid issue; I hope you aren’t ready to give up and just settle for pain, agony and embarrassment for the rest of your life all because of the presence of hemorrhoids. You do not have to live your life around piles anymore, and you do not have to suffer on a daily basis with the pain, itch and swelling, because if your physician couldn’t prescribe the right formula for you; the Chinese can, and by that I simply mean that Chinese medicines have a cure for everything. If you are seeking a natural home remedy for the slightest ailment, you will find the solutions within Chinese medicines, ancient remedies that are still popular today, because they work effectively, and they are safe, without side affects if taken as directed. You probably are aware tht the main cause of hemorrhoids is bought on by the aggravation of constipation, or hard stools that leave you straining and in pain afterwards. The cure for fixing that problem, when fixing the issue the Chinese way, would be in products such as the following: Yellow Dock, Dong Quai, Goldenseal, Cascara Sagrada, and last but not least, a product called
9
Psyllium. All of these medications are for constipation specifically. However, it is up to you to find out which one is most affective for your hemorrhoid care. With these products, it is safe to experiment until you find what works well for you.
More information on the above products 1. Psyllium- mild laxative formula used for short-term constipation. Results in 12-24 hours after taking; 5-10 grams per day mixed in a glass of water. With this remedy, you must drink two glasses of water when taking Psyllium. 2. Cascara- ¼-1 teaspoon a day. You must drink 8-6 ounce glasses of water throughout the day when using this product. You can also take this product up to 8-10 days. 3. Dong Quai- is the member of the celery family/ used for constipation. This product comes in capsules, powders and teas. With teas, mix ½ tsp of herb per cup of hot water. 4. Yellow Dock- is used for mild constipation, taking two capsules twice a day. 5. Goldenseal- comes in tablet and bulk powder forms. Take 4-6 grams a day. Do not take for more than 3 weeks.
10
6. Peter Gillham's Natural Vitality Natural Calm – this is a magnesium supplement good for keeping the bowels loose and smooth.
Other products that aid in constipation are He Shou We and Senna.
You can also try products for homeopathy remedies such as: Bryonia, Alder Buckthorn, BladderWrack, Silicea, Aloe, Dandelion, and Fenugreek. All of these products are for bouts with constipation too and you can find them at your local health food store. This should be a good start in battling the cause of the hemorrhoid flair-ups, for once you manage to stop the cause; you can eliminate the problem. Remember too, that though your constipation is causing you to have hemorrhoid problems, you must also look at what is causing you to have constipation, and most likely that little culprit is the kinds of foods that you are partaking in. I know you’ve heard people say, “Big is beautiful,” and be happy who you are in a size 18, but if your extra pounds is the reason for your hemorrhoid problem and constipation that surrounds an unhealthy diet, and if you are having derriere issues that won’t stay away, you may want to consider changing your diet to one which will make your rectum feel
11
happier; after all, whatever you eat will sooner or later pass down the road that leads to the toilet bowel, and if your derriere isn’t happy, you will not be smiling when you leave the privacy of your bathroom. In other words, you are going to have to compromise with the little monsters; bringing some peace and contentment to your bottom and your healthy well being.
12
Chapter 2 Chinese Hemorrhoid Treatments 1. Cold compresses for 10 minutes, doing this four times daily. You can also apply vitamin E oil or Virgin Olive Oil to the hemorrhoids. An herbal compress of Dandelion (Pi Gong Ying) for 10 minutes, 4 times a day will also relieve the painful symptoms of piles. 2. An external wash of salty water or a Chinese solution of Fu Fang Jing Xi Ji or Pu Gong Ying with ease the symptoms itch and pain to the derrière. Also, an enema solution of 250 ml of Da Huang or Mu Dan Pi will do the trick too, and fast. 3. A natural food source that is excellent for the presence of hemorrhoids is to eat a banana on an empty stomach every day. For bleeding hemorrhoids, you would bring it up a notch by eating 3 bananas daily, or eating steamed dried Persimmons. 4. Using these products for your hemorrhoid flare ups could prove to be very beneficial: Ginkgo Biloba, Japanese Silver Apricot and Maiden Hair Tree. All of these applications have been used by the Chinese for ages in healing piles. Perhaps one of them is right for you.
13
5. For Chronic Hemorrhoid issues, a product called Bu zhon yi qi wan works very well. With this method, you will have to take up to 8-10 pills, 3 times daily for 30 days. 6. Horse Chestnut can be used in moderation for a quick and effective treatment. This product prevents prolapsed piles, decreases swelling and redness. 7.

This too is an excellent remedy because of its many ingredients: Pulsatilla, Sophora Flower, White Peony, Tang-Kuei, Drosera, Sanguisorba, Rehmannia, Frainus, Phellodendrom and Loncera. With this
21
product, it is recommended that a dosage of 3 tablets, 3 times a day between meals. For an Acute condition, it is suggested that one takes 3 tablets every 4 hours for relief.

Please note that from my experience, Venapro is for temporary relief ONLY and not to be used in place of a root cure i.e. Crystal remedy nd
(2 audio lesson in the H Miracle download section) Product #9 Avatrol is an all natural remedy supplement used for the uncomfortable symptoms of hemorrhoids. This product reduces the severity of symptoms as well as, aids in reducing the chance for a potential recurrence. All of the ingredients involved aids in pain, swelling, bleeding and the irritating itching. What’s in this little tablet? The list is long: Horse Chestnut, Arginine, Oat Straw, Casara Sagrada, Bilberry, Butcher’s Broom, Mullein, Cayenne and Zinc. As you can see, Avatrol has almost the s ame ingredients as Venapro – temporal relief usage is good. Product # 10 Hem-Relief is another all natural product that aids in reducing swelling and inflammation, along with other compliments such as healing the anal tissue. The ingredients in this product are: Witch Hazel
23
Leaf, Horse Chestnut Leaf and Ginger Root. In this case, few ingredients still go a long way in fighting the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Product #11 Hemorrease is a powerful anti-inflammatory product used for calming the symptoms of hemorrhoids, with ingredients such as: White Oak Bark, Butcher’s Broom, Lobella, Stone Root, Witch Hazel, Canada Snake Root and Pipo. As you can see, most of these natural products have the very popular ingredients of Witch Hazel and Butcher’s Broom, which is highly recommended for the ease of hemorrhoid flair-ups. This is one way that I would think is a sure sign that you are purchasing an authentic, natural hemorrhoid remedy if the product has these two major ingredients in them at least. Pills and capsules aren’t the only remedy method of reducing the issues that come with hemorrhoids. You may be familiar with some suppositories or granule medications that were prescribed by your physician in the past; however, they may not have bought you the relief that you were looking for, or the ingredients in them caused you to have side effects that left you feeling weary and at your wits end.
24
If you find that suppositories are best for your condition, here is some all natural suppositories and granule products that are free of side affects while being effective. Product #12 Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Suppository As with all medications for hemorrhoids, this product goes straight to the source of the problem by reducing the pain and swelling, it also aids in stopping the bleeding piles too. Ingredients include: Borneol, Nutgull and Musk. The dosage for this is to insert the suppository into the rectum 2 times per day, in the morning and in the evening. Product #13 Hemorrhoid-Transforming Suppository, this also aids in ceasing the bleeding, relieves pain and diminishes the inflammation, this product can be used for both types of hemorrhoids, including mixed piles, that of having to deal with both internal and external piles at the s ame time. The dosage for this is to insert one suppository once to twice per day. The ingredients in this product include: Flavescent, Sophora Root, Phellodendrom bark, Datura Flower and Borneol. Last but not least for hemorrhoid relief is the use of medications that are in the form of granules, and one very popular, all natural product is that of Product # 14 Hemorrhoid-Inflammation-Disappearing Granule, this product eases pain, reduces swelling, stops constipation and stops bleeding.
25
The ingredients include: Hemp Seed, Beauty-berry Leaf, Honey Suckle, Sanguisorba Root, Sophora Flower, Peony Root, Capillaris, Bitter Orange and Notoginseng. The dosage for this is that you have to take 1 or 2 tsp of granules in a glass of luke-warm water, drinking the solution 3 times per day. Now you have a list of products to look for when you go to your friendly health food store; and if you want more information on these products, it is as easy as 1-2-3, just do an online search of the products given. However, if you don’t want to spend time and a little money on the hemorrhoid problem, another safe and natural product is that of good ole H2O…..in ice form. Chipped or cracked iced is excellent as a suppository in relieving pain, swelling and bleeding for chronic hemorrhoid symptoms. Inserting small pieces of ice into the rectum calms and sooths all the sensations as it melts. The only problem with this is that you will find yourself wetting up your under clothes, so it would be in your best interest while you are doing this process 5-6 times daily, that you wear something like Depends to keep clothes and bedding dry. All of these products, as you can see assists in eliminating the symptoms of a hemorrhoid issue. However, the dosages and ingredients are all different as night and day. Also, another good point to keep in mind while you are curing the problem; these same pills, capsules and suppositories with
26
their natural ingredients are also excellent for other medical conditions too. Isn’t it amazing how one natural medication pill is a cure-all for other ailments as well? Instead of taking 5 different prescription medications for Hypertension, Arthritis, and Diabetes etcetera, you can take control of all the ailments, including hemorrhoids with the right, natural Chinese formula, a formula that deals with more than one condition. Think of the money you will save. Think of the side effects that you will be doing without. Think of what your physician will say at your next visit. He or she will be amazed at your healthy body that is free of any kind of symptom, and I think that would be an “All Natural” miracle. Remember, hemorrhoids can return once they disappear, regardless of all the natural medications, or prescriptions drugs that you take; not because the ingredients don’t work, but because along with the medical aids, you must supplement it with a change in your diet and your lifestyle as well, if you want a long lasting affect that will leave you free of hemorrhoid symptoms once and for all.
27
Chapter 6 Your Diet as a Prevention
As you discover ways to combat the problem of hemorrhoid pain, as mentioned earlier; one’s diet plays a big part in curing piles along with the natural and organic medications and home remedies. The methods listed cannot work well without the proper diet, or the intake of food. In the case of hemorrhoids, food and the right medication compliment one another. You can’t have one without the other for the desired results that you are seeking. In other words, hemorrhoids are not a big fan of one with an unhealthy diet, because sooner or later, what you eat will pass down the road that leads to the toilet bowel. You are going to have to compromise with the little pesky and vicious piles, which will aid in preventing hemorrhoid problems. For someone with hemorrhoid issues, or who wants to prevent a flairup from happening, you are going to have to include 20-30 grams of fiber into your diet each and every day. This is a must remedy, the beginning to a healthier bottom. You will have to start eating bran breakfast cereals, fresh fruit and vegetables that will eliminate constipation, which is one of the causes of
28
hemorrhoids. You must strive to have soft, easy bowel movements. However, that doesn’t mean that you should have diarrhea, because that too, can prove to be irritating to the anal tissue where hemorrhoids develop. Another prevention tip, someone who suffers from a hemorrhoid condition should also watch their salt intake, because in this case, more is not better. We all know the importance of water and as they always say; adults should drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of H2o daily. The benefit of water in the case of hemorrhoids is that it aids in keeping the stool soft for easy movements. You will not get this benefit substituting water with coffee, and sodas. For this ailment, H2o is Golden, and not only that…………it’s natural. As mentioned earlier, fresh fruits and veggies are a good prevention source in providing fiber, and you will find such fiber in things such as: Collard Greens, Turnip Greens, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Cauliflower, Spinach, Strawberries, Cherries, Walnuts, Peanuts, Brazil Nuts, Almonds, Black Strap Molasses, Alfalfa, Stone Ground Whole Wheat, Vitamin K and Skim Milk. As you can see, you can still eat well while treating or preventing hemorrhoid issues.
29
Anyone suffering from hemorrhoids should make sure that the foods they eat are not the culprit to their condition, and the foods that cause havoc are: Fatty Foods, Foods with animal products, red meat, alcohol, coffee, hot spices, eggs, MSG, Salty foods and high protein diets. If any of the above listings are in your diet, you are going to have to alter how you eat in order to have a successful prevention and/or a cure, because, eating those foods along with your natural and organic treatments will not solve the condition and bring an end to your suffering. It will just prolong the situation, making one a very “unhappy camper.”

Remedy #1, Witch Hazel and Baby Wipes. Since it is important to keep that delicate area clean, and it is not a good idea to wipe with hard, course tissue paper, you should try using baby wipes that are already pre-moistened; add to your box of cleaning paper a bottle of Witch Hazel that will soak into the material. Use this application every time you have to wipe. The Witch Hazel may very well take the pain and itching away. Remedy #2 Lemon juice is not just for making lemon aid. With this home remedy, you take the juice of real lemons and squeeze enough on a cotton pad to saturate it. Then apply the lemony pad to the area. You will feel a mild tingling sensation, a light burning, but it goes away immediately. This remedy should bring instant relief from the itching and burning sensations. Remedy #3 Have you heard of the “Touch Me Not” plant? If you take this plant and boil it, they say the vapors alone will give comfort and ease to your piles. Also, by making a paste of the leaves and applying it to the external hemorrhoids will work wonders.

Remedy #4, the magic of Aloe Vera, aloe seems to be a remedy for a lot of ailments; from burns and scars, and now you can use it in treating a bout of hemorrhoids. With this remedy, you have to use fresh aloe from the plant itself. Cut it into strips, place in a closed container and let them freeze in your freezer. When they are icy cold, insert one aloe strip into your anus for instant relief. Do this once in the morning and at night. However, if your hemorrhoids are inflamed, you may not be able to use this remedy until the swelling and pain subsides and shrinks some. Remedy #5 Ice is nice, ice packs or cracked ice works wonders on shrinking the size of your piles, applying the ice directly to the area will bring relief if you use this method several times a day. Your pain should disappear in just a few days. Remedy #6 Cayenne and Garlic, okay, you aren’t using these ingredients for seasoning or cooking. This time you are going to use the CAPSICUM and garlic in a plain warm water enema that will give relief to discomfort because it is fast acting. Remedy #7 Liquids to The Rescue, earlier it was mentioned that was good to fight off hemorrhoids. But, there are other liquids that may do the trick for you along with the H2o. Drinking a glass of buttermilk mixed with 3 Tsp of Karele Juice. Drink this every morning for 30 days and see if this
35
brings your results. Drinking the juice of turnip leaves, spinach and watercress, of course you will need a blender to mix all of these juices together. Pour into a tall glass and drink. Your hemorrhoids may just disappear in a few days. Remedy #8 everyone knows that bananas are good for those with potassium problems, but did you know they are also used for piles too? If you take a ripe banana and boil it in a cup of milk and drink this shake at least three times a day, see if you have a miracle working on your derriere problem. Remedy #9 Herbal Solutions, when ointments and salves don’t do the trick for you, the other alternative is to try an herbal remedy. With the magic remedy stemming from medicinal plants. The next time you are in a health food store, you may want to consider looking into some herbal solutions that could give you relief from hemorrhoids, using herbal medications such as: Barberry, Butcher’s Brew, Horse Chestnut, Slippery Elm, White Oak Bark, and of course Witch Hazel. These products along with mango seeds and white radish are valuable in home remedies for piles. Remedy #10 they say a tablespoon of Olive oil each morning works against the prevention of hemorrhoids. Remedy #11, the solution of sliced onions and honey, if you add this mixture on a pad and apply it on the affected area for three hours, when you
36
have a flare up, you will find comfort. You can also try this by substituting the onion with garlic. Remedy# 12 You say that you love Almonds, well guess what, if you warm almond oil and pour it over a cloth like a baby wipe, this too, will bring results. Remedy #13 Applying a solution of baking soda and water, creating a paste is good for the itching that accompanies an irritable hemorrhoid. Remedy #14 four grams of Passion Fruit to ¼ cup of water. This is good to try if you put the solution on a most wipe to clean yourself. Remedy #15 if your hemorrhoids are bleeding, there is nothing like goats milk and black mustard with sugar blended together; drink this several time a day to get the bleeding piles under control. Remedy # 16 A little dab of Vitamin E in the oil form works well too, its goof for burns, and now it is good for hemorrhoids. Remedy #17 even though your piles may itch like crazy, try to reframe from scratching, you could make the condition worse by irritating the walls of the veins that are causing you to squirm. Remedy #18 if you have bouts of hemorrhoid problems, and no doubt you do if you are reading this book. You should reframe from lifting anything heavy. If you are planning on moving furniture, you should really have
37
someone else do the heavy work for you. It is also wise that you stay away from strenuous exercise too. Remedy #19, another remedy noted by a physician in Arizona, recommends the application of a small dab of Vaseline on a cotton swab, or Q-tip, which you apply just ½ inches into your rectum. This will also help your bowels to move with ease, not scratching and irritating the walls of the rectum or anus. Remedy #20, if you can, it would be a great investment to add a special attachment right to your toilet seat called a “Clenzone.” This device works wonders in keeping that area clean by squirting a thin stream of water into your rectum after a bowel movement. It is a soothing process and works just like sitting in a sitz tub. This is yet another prevention method as well as a treatment method that works. Remedy #21, another home remedy for achy bottoms is to relax in a tub of lukewarm water for 15 minutes, 2 or 3 times a day. Soaking in a sitz bath not only brings comfort; it also improves on the hygiene of that very sensitive area. Add in a few tablespoons of Epson Salt into the water, and you should feel some ease right away. Tip #1, if you have bouts of hemorrhoid flair-ups, you should reframe from lifting anything heavy. If you are planning on moving furniture around, you
38
should have someone else do it for you. It is also wise to stay away from strenuous exercise too. Tip #2, People with hemorrhoids should not eat heavy and spicy foods. Tip#3, though they may be pretty and sexy, you should reframe from wearing thongs, or any tight fitting clothes such as jeans. Tip #4, with hemorrhoids, bacteria is the culprit; however, water is the solution to attack bacteria head on, nipping it in the bud, or you can say, nipping it where it hurts. Remedy #5, another little tip, people with hemorrhoids should not eat heavy and spicy foods. So, if you love hot wings and Jerked Chicken, or hot sauce poured over everything, you could be irritating your bottom to no end. Remedy #6 Avoid foods that cause you constipation. Remedy #7 do not sit on hard surfaces for too long, if you have to, invest in one of those donut pillows so that you will not be sitting directly on your achy rear end.

Chapter 9 To Squat or Not
There is one other thing that I would like to mention since we are chit chatting over the prevention of hemorrhoids, and this one I bet you never even heard of, let alone thought of. Last but not least on the things that you can do yourself in eliminating the problem of painful rear ends is changing your position in how you relieve yourself when you go to the bathroom. I know you are used to just running to the bathroom and just plopping your hinny down on the toilet seat; after all, you’ve been doing it this way ever since you went through the process of potty training, when you were a child of 1 to 2 years old, the normal position of those who eliminate themselves with dignity, showing a sign that you are cultured and not of the era of the caveman; when they had no flushing toilets and they wiped their behinds using the leaves from the nearby trees and bushes. We already know that the “Charmin” man didn’t come on the scene until years later, lucky for us eh? Now we are going to discuss sitting versus squatting, when it comes to the best position to be in when using the powder room.
40
One would not think that this would matter, however, it has been proven that after all these years of relieving ourselves, we just find out that we have been doing it all wrong. Can you believe that at the age of 45 or 50 we don’t know how to use the bathroom correctly? And because we are doing it wrong, we are prone to the ailments that raid our bodies like army men. We end up with ailments such as Hemorrhoids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colorectal cancer and Prostate Cancer, all because we sit like kings and queens on the toilet throne instead of squatting. Yes that’s right, I said squatting. It seems strange and it seems that it would be very uncomfortable when it comes to doing your business in the bathroom. But, besides that weird image in your head, let’s look at the benefits of squatting. Because after this, I think you may want to try toilet training all over again so you will know how to squat. When sitting all comfortable and cozy on your toilet seat, it is hard to see where the damage could be occurring. However, the sitting position causes one to strain, because the anal canal becomes bent and out of shape, when it is supposed to be straight as a line. The straining as in constipation is what causes the hemorrhoid problem as mentioned earlier. In the squatting position, the anal canal is as it should be, eliminating the grunts and groans of straining and constipation. You might not know it,
41
but when we sit to relieve ourselves, all kinds of things are going on up inside of our bodies, and sooner or later, problems are going to manifest themselves, all because we choose to sit instead of squat. Squatting, they say is a natural prevention when it comes to hemorrhoids and other medical ailments of the derriere. Now, the only thing left for you to do is learn how, learn more on the benefits of this squatting position. At least give it a try; after all, practice makes perfect in preventing hemorrhoids. If you consider trying any of these remedies outlined in this book, I am pretty sure you will find a remedy that will work for your particular hemorrhoid condition. All you have to do is try, because with home remedies and the all natural Chinese methods of hemorrhoid relief; you can safely experiment with your options. You will succeed in finding a remedy just right for you.

Chapter 10 Why are the Natural Remedies Better Than the Conventional Hemorrhoid Products? The answer to that is in the ingredients. Many conventional hemorrhoid products such as pills and creams are made with chemicals, harsh chemicals that can result in side effects such as head aches, diarrhea and nausea. Who wants to feel worse when they are already feeling miserable? Natural remedies come without side effects as stated earlier; Another thing to consider is that while herbal, natural remedies are meant to treat and cure hemorrhoids; the chemical based products just brings about a temporary fix for mild cases of hemorrhoid upsets. With the natural remedy, there is no need to have to consider surgery with its risks and complications, because once you find the remedy that works well for you, your hemorrhoid condition with be a thing of the past. Ingredients play a big part in healing and curing hemorrhoids. Do you want a temporary fix, or do you want something that is effective for the long term, perhaps giving a cure? The final results of a hemorrhoid fix likes in the ingredients of the medication that you use.
43
We already discussed that Witch Hazel, Butcher’s Broom and Horse chestnut, along with other herbal ingredients that are mentioned in this writing, are the main ingredients in a herbal hemorrhoid fix. But, let’s look at the ingredients in some of the popular brands that you have at your disposal to purchase from your friendly pharmacy or drug store. What’s in Venapro? Vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, L-Arginine Hydrochloride, Horse Chestnut, Oat Straw, Plaintain, Cascara Sagrada, Bilberry, Butcher’s Broom, Mullein, Cayenne and Red Sage. What’s in Hem-Relief? Witch Hazel Leaf, Horse Chestnut and Ginger Root makes up this remedy. What’s in Avatrol? The same ingredients that are in Venapro minus the Red Sage, Plaintain and Vitamin E make up the main ingredients in this product. As you can see, none of the above ingredients will cause you any ill effects. However, when you look at the Preparation H or Tucks, regardless of what form that these products come in, such as ointments, gels, pads, foams, suppositories or creams……you should be concerned with the ingredients that are used; active ingredients such as Corticosteroids, Vasoconstrictors, Antiseptics, Anesthetics and Analgesics. In Preparation H, one of the main ingredients is a Vasoconstrictor called, Phenylephrine, which increases blood pressure. Other ingredients
44
include: Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, and Shark Liver Oil. All of these ingredients are protectors. You should consult your doctor b efore using this temporary fix if you have heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disease and high blood pressure because of the side effects. In most over the counter remedies at drug stores or super markets, the product is going to be made up with inactive ingredients such as: Petro Chemicals, Additives, colorings and dyes. You really should think about what you are using. What’s in Tucks Pads? Though it has an active ingredient of 50% of Witch Hazel, the other 50% of inactive ingredients include: Water, Glycerin, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Citrate, Diazolidinyl Urea, Citric Acid, Methylparaben and Propylparaben. What’s in Tuck Suppositories? The active ingredients are: 51% Topical Starch, while the inactive ingredients are: Benzol Alcohol, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and Tocopheryl Acetate. What’s in Anusol? If you are considering this product in suppository form, the active ingredients are: Pramoxine HC1, and Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate. The non-active ingredients include: Calcium Phosphate, Mineral Oil, OTeth-2, Paraben and Petroleum.
45
In the cream form, you are getting as the active ingredients: Zinc Oxide, Bismuth Oxide and Balsam Peru. The inactive ingredients include: Glycerol Monostearate, Liquid Paraffin, Sorbitan Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Methyl Hydroxybenzoate and Water. For Tucks ointment, you will find as the active ingredients that of: Pramoxine, Hydrocholoride and Mineral Oil. For the inactive ingredients there is: Benzyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Moncooleate, Glycerl Monostearate, Kaolin and Peruvian Balsam. As you can see, this is just a few conventional, over-the-counter remedies. By looking at the ingredients; you can safely decide what you want going into your body. Keep in mind, that a long list of inactive ingredients does not make the product better, safer or more effective. The right ingredients are the safe, reliable ingredients, which are found in home remedies and the herbal solutions that are for a hemorrhoid condition. In this case, less is more and the benefits in the long run are much better for you. Now it is your turn to decide.

Chapter 11
The “Bottom” Line
If you are reading this book, from days past, you probably have a medicine cabinet or dresser drawer with all your personal medications for your hemorrhoid problem; medications that were a waste of time and a waste of money, especially if you are still walking around in pain, and suffering needlessly. If you are in a situation where the pain and swelling is too much to bear, and you are you are unable to sit or walk around; you probably do not feel up to walking around a health food store looking for products that are mentioned in this book. You are going to have to get yourself healed enough so that you can move with ease and with comfort, before you go on a hemorrhoid remedy shopping spree. You can accomplish this quick heal by simply applying ice chips to the area of pain and swelling. Ice is a miracle worker; and a bag of chipped iced from your local grocery story, liquor store, or Ice Company provides just the right size pieces that you can put on the pain and swelling, even small enough to insert if need be. This should be the first thing that you do if you find yourself in this kind of situation. This remedy is fast acting, and
47
it is numbing and soothing. Doing this as often as you like because there is no side affects and no harmful chemicals involved. You can even be “under cover” with it, because no one is going to suspect that you are purchasing a bag of ice for your hemorrhoids. Besides, you probably already have this fast acting remedy in your freezer, even if you have to chip it yourself. I highly recommend the use of the ice chips because it worked wonders for my daughter; within three days, the swelling, pain and bleeding had stopped, and she was normal once again. This remedy will have you feeling so much better, and in no time at all. If you start this procedure during the early morning hours, you will be feeling like going shopping by evening. You will be feeling and acting like a brand new person all because of the ice. However, another safe product that is probably at your finger tips, and already in your home is that of Onions. Your quick relief for pain, with this kind of hemorrhoid problem, your remedy is probably in your refrigerator, causing you not to have to make an extra trip to your local super market. Just remember, you have to use fresh onions and not those which are dried and sitting in your spice rack. As you know, the symptoms of hemorrhoids vary with each person. You can have mild symptoms to excruciating ones; and another symptom
48
that can flair up is that of the itching which is accompanied by pain. However, just as there are products and methods for the pain, bleeding and swelling, there are solutions for the irritating itch of hemorrhoids. If the itch is driving you crazy and causing you to be fidgety in your seat; you may want to try the Extract of Echinacea on a cotton ball, and apply it to the itchy area, which will give your much relief to this irritating symptom. This application is also the remedy for the pain too. Another method of attacking the itch is to make a wash solution of Lobelia Extract, Baptisia Extract and Zinc Sulfate; mixing equal parts into water. This too will bring instant relief to the itching and pain for when you are in a hurry. Alternative treatments for bleeding hemorrhoids as you might already know, if you have bleeding from internal hemorrhoids; you can not use all of the conventional products that are on the market, especially Preparation H as mentioned earlier. The warning states if bleeding occurs to discontinue use. And not only that, you might have found out that some of these conventional products also leave you feeling uncomfortable afterwards, causing stinging or burning sensations. Does this kind of reaction mean the product is working?
49
You should not have to experience more uneasiness while you are being healed. Since you can’t use Preparation H on bleeding hemorrhoids, the only alternative thing to do is to turn to herbal remedies such as Butcher’s Broom, Horse Chestnut and Bilberry, which is safe to use for bleeding internal hemorrhoids. These products along with Mullein and Cayenne are recommended for bleeding hemorrhoids if you are going herbal. These are just some of the products that you should have on hand at all times if you have bouts with hemorrhoids, along with the very popular herbal relief of Witch Hazel and Horse Chestnut. Remember, as long as you are purchasing products with Butcher’s Broom, Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera or Pile Wart, you are and will be in good hands in fixing the hemorrhoid problem. If you are suffering from Prolapsed hemorrhoids, the herbal solution for this is Horse Chestnut. This product not only reduces the swelling and redness, this will also tighten and strengthen the veins. The bottom line in fixing the symptoms of a terrible hemorrhoid conditions is not just healing or fixing the pain, swelling or itching. You will also have to tackle the cause of the condition as well. If you can succeed in erasing the cause of your particular hemorrhoid case; you will
50
have beat half the battle of the symptoms; making them less apparent in your life; and if and when the condition should pop up into your life, you will be well prepared in advance in nipping it in the bud, because you have the mentioned herbal products on hand, for whenever a hemorrhoid symptom should erupt and raise its head; that my friend is the bottom line.
