PREPARATION H WITH ESSENTIAL OILS
[YEA] 09/18/2008: T. in Los Angeles from Los Angeles, USA writes: "I am trying Preparation H mixed with 3 drops Lavender oil and 2 drops Eucalyptus oil. It tingles but it helps disinfect and heal skin tissue. I also have been using suppositories. I have been using Lavender oil for the last ten years on scrapes, pimples and small cuts. Amazingly my skin doesn't scar when I use it for 3 times a day for 5 or 6 days!
BTW, ACV with garlic diluted in water is an excellent way to clear out bacteria and viruses in the colon as an enema. You will need to replace good bacteria with probiotic yogurt or friendly flora supplements."

[YEA] John from Col. Station, Ohio writes: "
I tried radishes and turnips for my serious medical problem. And it really works, at 64 years old....I had a serious hemorrhoidal problem. What did radishes and turnips cure ? Well it really cured my problem of humorist and constipation...... :)) color me Happy :)) A fellow employee had the same problem and told me after nothing, my remedy fixed his same problem.
But to fix it you have to do it right.
1.you have have to have both of these veggies at emm, lunch and dinner.
2. Do not drink orange juice, but juices that have vitamin'c' without the acid in orange juice. NO acidic drinks or foods. you can get vitamin 'C' and potassium in pomegranate juice with out acids........
3. do not eat junk foods and beef, the garbage meat..........
This will give your body and intestines a good cleaning - end to end."

[YEA] 05/15/2009: Dale from Wilmington, Delaware writes: "Ukranian village cure for hemorrhoids:
I had a very bad case of hemorrhoids and my wife at the time was from the Ukraine. she advised me to take a fresh potato crate it with a potato crater and to press the crated potato onto my hemorrhoids. I did this for 3 days and my hemorrhoids were gone, the juice from the potatoes will shrink the hemorrhoids a fresh potato must be used each time. This does work!"
05/18/2009: Alecxis from San Antonio, Texas replies: "Question to Dale of Delaware,
Would like to know how long do you press the potatos in the affected area. Or do you need to leave it there for a few minutes. Thanks for your immediate response..."

[YEA] 05/24/2007: E.B. from Chattanooga, TN writes: "Remarkable relief from hemorrhoids by using a raw potato. Cut a slice and shape into a suppository, coat with a tiny bit of vitamin e, then insert. (If potato is chilled - even better!) Retain as long as possible, sleep with it if you can. Keep putting a fresh suppository in after every bowel movement. Use for a couple of days and you will be pleasantly surprised! Don't know why it works, but it does!!!"

I have had constipation off and on for years, and bleed if I eat nuts or get constipated. I have hemorroids and really want to know how to heal them and get my body back to balance. I have been using the Essiac Tea to try to heal the sore rectal area. There is kind of a small scab. I may start using Apple Cider Vinegar. and I know that Castor Oil is good too. I have a tendancy toward candida and I have Epstien Barr and I really want to know what to do. I have dark circles under my eyes and am tired alot and have adrenal fatigue. I sound like a mess. I would love some suggestions."

[YEA] 11/26/2008: Juanita Browne from New Orleans, La. USA writes: "I used to work as a Police 911 dispatcher for several years... and because the job required me to be sitting in front of a computor all day, I began to suffer from the itching and pain of Hemorriods. My medical doctor who was also into herbal cures (a rare find these days) recommended I take Rutin for relief!
I bought Rutin (500 mg.) at my local health food store and took one tablet that night before going to sleep! I woke to find the swelling had gone down overnight... Took another one before going to work and my symptoms completely had completely disappeared in 2 days!
I kept a bottle of Rutin in my desk drawer and gave tablets to other dispatchers who confided they were also suffering from the horrors of Hemorriods to try the cure out! Every one of them experienced dramatic results with this simple remedy and many were cured overnight!
Give it a try... I now take one tablet a day along with my other daily suppliments to keep from getting the swelling and pain again!
Rutin works miracles...
I love this website... God bless you for all that you do to help others share common sense remedies to keep away from the side effects of high priced Rxs and the control of Big Pharma!
J. Browne"

[YEA] 05/19/2006: Amy from Prescott, AZ writes: "I had given birth 6 years ago and have had a mild case of hemorrhoids. almost all of those 6 years. They recently got painful and severely swollen for the first time and the women at the health food store recommended rutin. Within 3 days all the swelling was gone, even the painless swelling that persisted since childbirth disappeared. I have poor circulation and sometimes in the dry months get itchy swollen varicose veins behind my knees. This has not been a problem since taking the rutin supplement. A good complement to this herb is horse chestnut, especially for those with varicose veins."

[YEA] 05/02/2006: Nora from Hillsboro, OR writes: "I was so surprised when I didn't see Rutin mentioned as a cure for hemorrhoids. My dad had a severe case and my mom read somewhere to try Rutin and it cured them. Mom told me when after pregnancy I got them. I've told neighbors and friends and it's helped them all. Rutin can be found in a health food store. It comes from Vit C. I take 500 mg's every day until the pain is gone. It usually takes about 1 to 2 days for the pain to go and then I quit paying attention. DO give this a try and let me know if it worked for you too!!"

[YEA] 10/08/2009: Kelly from Dallas, Tx writes: "Hemorrhoids were something that I never thought would happen to someone in their 20's. I have had 5 children all in a short span of time. With my first, I did not have hemorroids. The 2nd child, I started to feel hemorroids coming on. By my 5th child, I was having hemorrhoid surgery when I was 6 months pregnant and then again right after the baby was born. The doctor told me they were larger than anything he had ever seen before, and this is his profession! After the last surgery, he told I didnt have any veins left there so I would not have a problem. Within a few weeks, I knew I had hemorroids again, even if he told me that was impossible. Over the years, I went to a TCM doctor who told me I had too much fire in my liver. A drain fire supplement always worked at making them go away. Now into my 30's, I am pregnant with my 6th child and it wasn't long before my hemorroids started to flair. By the time I was 6 months pregnant, I thought for sure I was going to have to have surgery again. I had about 4 and they were clotted and about the size of my thumb and fingers. OUCH! Being pregnant, I knew I had to be careful with what I took. I ended up taking 500 mg of Rutin and 200 mg of B-6 at night. I already take a B complex in my prenatal protocol. I do take 1-2 capsules of an oxygen cleanser every other night to make sure constipation doesn't make things worse. Within a week, those clotted, painful, horrible hemorrhoids were back under control. I eat a raw diet and have a poop stool by my toilet for natural squatting BMs. For some reason, the pressure of the baby during pregnancy gives me problems. I give a hearty YES to Rutin and B-6."

[YEA] 06/20/2008: TAN KOON PENG from SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE writes: "Rutin are great for piles! Rutin is present in many foods, including citrus fruits, apricots, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, rose hips, and buckwheat. Rutin helps strengthen capillaries and blood vessels, and heals wounds.Rutin is helpful in prevention of recurrent bleeding arising from weakened blood vessels
Or
Vitamin B6 tablets. This remedy works after just a day or two. This will work if your hemorrhoids come from a deficiency of this vitamin, which is MANY cases, it does. I had a neighbor with BLEEDING hemorrhoids and she was able to avoid surgery by simply taking Vitamin B6.
Or
Noni
Or
Castor oil
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/castor_oil.html#HEMMORHOIDS
Or
Witch Hazel
Or
Soursop is useful for high cholesterol, piles and blood in stools etc. Just buy 1 unripe fruit (raw and hard fruit),wash and cut it into small pieces.Cook it for 1 hr under low flame, when ready add some yellow sugar to taste. The fruit can be cooked again for maximum benefits."
06/20/2009: susie from Syracuse, NY replies: "I tried the B6, rutin and the 6 inch step and had excellent results within 2 weeks. Had minor hemmorhoids w/fissure on and off for atleast 6 months, nothing else worked, tried the zinc oxide, vit e, acv, vaseline,vicks, witch hazel,listerine, castor oil with no luck. within 2 weeks of daily supplementation of the b6, rutin and the step was all it took for pain, burning, itching and bleeding to subside. Thank you for your information."

THE "PUSHING THEM BACK IN" TECHNIQUE
[YEA] 05/25/2006: Shannon from Waverly, TN writes: "I am pregnant (8 months) and have tried nearly everything to help the pain and discomfort of my frequent external hemorrhoids. This was the only thing that actually helped. I did have to use the "technique" about once daily for 4-5 days, but they healed quicker with no more pain or discomfort. Thanks so much!"

[YEA] Emilio from Miami FL writes: "As to hemorrhoids the ones that are external, in other words that you can feel with your fingers. you can try putting any natural or over the counter ointment on them. eventually the hemorrhoids will retract and go back in to the body. But this could take hours sometimes and in the mean time there is pain. If quick relief is what you want take a shower and clean the area good with any soap. Ivory soap is good its 99% soap no oils or perfumes. after you are clean while in shower apply good amount of soap thru fingers. This will act like lubricant and gently with your middle finger not using your nails! push them back in! this works all the time the pain will leave you immediately. This was told to me by a nurse and till this day it works. Just remember -- change your eating habits cause you will get them again or operate them if you don't want to go thru hassle of always having to push them back in..."

[YEA] 01/08/2009: Diane from Streetsboro, Ohio writes: "When I had my first child I had a terrible case of hemmoroids. I was told to apply Vicks Vapor Rub to them by a nurse's aid.(Yes..an aid! She said her grandmother told her about this) Anyhow,when I was discharged I went home and tried it. The cooling effect of the menthol cured the itching and after about a week they actually did shrink and go away!"

[YEA] 12/07/2008: Vella from Albany, NY writes: "I've recently bought pure Bragg's organic ACV and have been drinking a cup with luke warm water every day for almost one week. I can't say that I've experienced any noticeable effects yet, but I do like the tangy, mildy sweet taste of it. A couple of times I heated the water a bit more and added raw honey to satisfy my sweet tooth. For me that's like having a cup of tea and is very enjoyable.
I've suffered miserably with hemorroid flareups for the last 10 years (since the birth of my 3rd child). For the last couple of years I've been having a great deal of bleeding in addition to the severe pain. I've been putting off the surgery suggested to me by several doctors and decided to look for alternative methods to manage and hopefully cure this painful condition.
I tried Vick's as suggested on this site when I was out of Prep H and plus I felt that it has been losing its efficacy on me. Vick's was like a wonder drug and shrunk the swelling way faster and more effectively than Prep H. I had already been applying aloe gel as I was aware of its healing and soothing properties. The combination of the 2 made me feel 100% better. My only problem now is that the protrusions return after each BM. I'm hoping that eventually my body will heal to the point that they don't return. I used to like to do strength training (I'm a woman and was only using 5-10 pound weights) but had to abandon it because of the pressure it put on my roids and caused me to have really bad flareups after each workout. I would love to be able to return to strength training.
Bye bye and God Bless!"

[YEA] 02/12/2008: Ally from Kalamazoo, Michigan writes: "I too have had hemorrhoids and fissures for 9 years, tried everything on the market including' ACV, cocconut oil was about to go for surgery and read about vitamin B6. I took 50 mg of B6 after meals. It took 3 weeks for this to work, but I noticed a big difference in 3 days. I am now free of this very painful mess and it has been 6 months. If you have a relapse just go to the B6 bottle. I just want to thank Michele who wrote in about B6, on this site."
07/01/2008: Anonymous from Birmingham, England replies: "Having read some information about B6 helping for anal fssures, I saw an article detailing B6 symptoms as including cracking of the corner of mouths. Seems remarkably similar problem. I have had that and hems. My nerves are getting bad again and this too is symptom of B6 deficiency. I am also detoxing Mercury using ALA. I read somewhere B6 is depleted faster when using amino acids but could not find any particular reference to ALA."

[YEA] 06/24/2006: Michele from Wolcott, Connecticut writes: "I never had hemorrhoids until I had children. I don't remember how I learned about the B-6, but I tried it and it worked great. Taking an extra Vitamin B-6 each day. I take 100 mg of B-6 each day and they stay away."
[WARNING!] 07/09/2008: Jualsy from Torrevieja, Spain replies: "Don't ever make the mistake of isolating the B vitamins, for whatever reason. They are synergistic....they all need each other. If you take one in a strong dose for any particular reason, take a smalled B complex tablet too so that they are all present. Large doses of isolated B vitamins have side effects. Wonderful Vits, but all needed to be present to work permanently."
12/26/2008: Vickie from Spokane, WA State replies: "My doctor has me taking a high dose of B-2 as one of the supplements for my migraines. I have been doing this for almost a year without taking any other B vitamins and have had no side effects. On another note, I have just started the ACV for migraine prevention. It sure helped me today!"
08/28/2009: Mara from Portland, Usa replies: "Julasy makes a very good point. B-vitamins are indeed found in nature in a complex. However, unless someone has a health condition that contradicts this, they *can* be taken separately in *therapeutic* does for *therapeutic* reasons. Indeed, it's helpful to take even therapeutic doses along with a B-complex supplement. But this is not mandatory, especially in an emergency. Or if there is some reason a whole complex cannot be taken. If uncertain get at least 3 opinions from health care practitioners who are trained and have actual experience with this kind of therapy.

[YEA] 08/27/2006: John from McMinnville, OR writes: "This is a hemorrhoid cure given to me by an older chiropractor in Tallahassee, Florida. Pour a cup of white vinegar into a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Turn of the heat and add enough salt to form a supersaturated solution. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and, using cotton swabs, apply the mixture to the afflicted area. Do this two or three times a day until the hemorrhoids have shrunken The cure does sting a bit, but a little pain far outweighs the benefits of this procedure."

[YEA] 01/19/2006: Martin from London, UK writes: "A suggestion for men, from someone who suffered from the effects of mild hemorrhoids from time to time over several years. Mine were most troublesome in warmer weather when during the day ... and the kind of itching that really drives you mad - usually at a time when I was out of the house and not anywhere convenient for applying creams etc. Looking for a more natural solution, I wondered if my underwear may be part of the problem; I spend a lot of time sitting, and used to wear regular boxers or men's briefs but I found that their thickness and/or the amount of material involved made the area extra sweaty. I tried (going without) for a while but although this helped stop the itching I found it generally uncomfortable.
So some months ago I took the step of trying out smaller, ladies bikini and boyshort-style underwear which is of a much lighter weight, around 20 to 30g - compared to the 60 to 80g weight of my old boxers!! I was initially uncertain about trying this but discovered there are plenty of plain styles (without too much in the way of frills and lace!), that still provide all the support a guy needs round the front, yet made of much lighter material. I have not experienced a itching since - so in my situation, improving the airflow "down below" was a definite help."
