subject: Aloe Vera For Hemorrhoids [print this page] In order to be eased from hemorrhoids, you must have to get your bowel movements going more often and easier to be able to create softer stools. And one suggestion I can give involves changing your eating habits.
Hemorrhoids are triggered from all your pushing and straining to have your stools out during a bowel movement. This may also happen even if the stools are soft. Aggravated hemorrhoids can further lead to bleeding and pain.
When done with a bowel movement, you have to use the softest tissue in cleaning your self. This is to avoid scraping or worsening your hemorrhoids. For softer touch, you can moisten the tissue before wiping. Also, use tissue that are plain white and unscented to avoid chemicals that may have effects on your hemorrhoids.
Making sure that your rectum is clean is important. You may take a shower a couple of times a day to achieve this.
There are natural remedies that you can use to get rid of your hemorrhoids. These are:
Aloe Vera "" this is often used to heal open wounds. You may use this by applying it directly onto your anus. The aloe plant is the best type to use. If this is not available, the whole aloe leaf gel may also be used. These are available at health food or nutrition shops.
If using the fresh plant, wash the leaf with distilled water thoroughly. Peel one side and slip into your anus. This is an effective pain reliever and may also help in stopping the bleeding. Just tide up the leaf to make it slide smoothly onto your anus.
