12/06/2011: Sadie from Gwent, Gwent, Uk: "Please help or give me hope. Had severe prolapsed piles since giving birth 4 months ago. Trying number of remedies recommended on this site - ACV and Cayenne Pepper & VCO and many others. They are shrinking very, very slowly but look like very long, thin swollen veins around the anus - is this still piles? Am tired of doctors and want hope that they will shrink back inside over time and won't remain on the outside after the swelling has subsided. i.e., they won't remain like thin long threads.

Please help"

12/06/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "Find a plant nusery that sells the tobacco plant. Then wet the leaf and keep it pressed up against the offending pile. According to a nineteen thirties herb book this is a sure fire cure. Failing that I suppose cut tobbaco would do suitably damped.. the nicotine shrinks the piles."

11/08/2011: Cameron from Brisbane, Qld, Australia replies: "I hate to say it but the Over The Counter creams work perfectly well and very quickly(2 days or less), very sad to say on this wonderful site. Get one with a Local Anesthetic to relieve you of the pain. While you are waiting for something to work, here are a couple of tips, elevate your feet on a box or stool while doing your business. Get rid of the toilet paper for a while and use wash cloths or something similar made of cotton or even wash after in the shower if they are really bad.

If you have Diarrhea, a dreadful combination I suffered once then take activated charcoal to stop that while you heal the Hemorrhoids.

I think that Hemorrhoids are the only thing I have gone to the Pharmacy for in more years than I can remember, the stuff is cheap and much more effective than the remedies suggested in the Hemorrhoid section. I would usually find one of Teds remedies and go with that but not for this.

Make sure you get more fibre into your diet in the future and if you want to give your colon a clean out after you fix the hemorrhoids take a course of Magnesium Oxide, called Colon Cleanse here. Magnesium Oxide wil Liquify your Bowels and get rid of all the built up gunge inside making everything easier and more regular. Don't forget the stool or box to elevate your knees."

09/30/2011: Knute from Sacramento, Ca replies: "Arihia, a holistic physician I've known for many years has found that if one takes 2-3000 milligrams of rutin every day, this will shrink hemorrhoids in most cases. He has received several testimonials about hemorrhoids that have disappeared in just a few days due to rutin supplements. Feel free to try it and let us know about it."

Rutin Cure for Hemorrhoids

Rutin supplements are available in pill form and can be used as directed to treat hemorrhoids. Rutin is a natural component of many plants, including buckwheat, cranberries, and asparagus. It offers a number of proven, positive effects on the health of the circulatory system.

08/30/2012: Lonis from Jacksonville, Nc replies: "I had bad hemmoroids after lifting heavy weights. I ate a bottle of Rutin from the health food store, and after that, all the pain went away. I no longer had to sleep on my left side or my stomache. I could sleep on my back w/out them getting swollen & painful. They were also less tight. The rutin helped a great deal. Then I bought another bottle of it & ate that. It didn't help. Nothing helped for weeks until I took Vitamin B6 (actually a b-complex). I was on a diet that doesn't allow B6 for a long time before I got the hemmoroids. I believe it was related.

I recommend B6 & Rutin, cause the rutin didn't do the job 100%, but it sure helped. The B6 made a major difference."

As I live near Toronto, I have recently started Chinese Medicine treatment at www.natcm.ca

Will post in two weeks time."

03/21/2012: Treadcarefully from Singapore replies: "Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and Cayenne Pepper (CP) have been recommended by many websites for hemorrhoid and its bleeding.

I say be very careful about these 2 so-called remedies. ACV might work for some but it is pretty harsh stuff for the colon and hemroid. It can cause blistering around the butt which is very painful and slow to heal as one user reported on this site.

CP powder aka Chili powder is a circulatory herb but it is well known among physicians - TCM and Homoepathic - to aggravate bleeding hemroids. For this reason these physicians often warn hemroid patients to avoid taking Chilli. So why are so many websites saying otherwise.

The only reason I can think of is as with other remedies, ACV and CP might help some but would worsen the problem for others. The latter category of users probably did not bother to report their negative experience.

I can tell you that I myself have used ACV and CP and found out that they are not safe for hemroids. CP for instance causes my hemroid to bleed again after 7 months of non-bleeding through the consumption of White Oak Bark powder.

Instead I would suggest safer herbal supplements like Rutin, White Oak Bark and Resveratrol. Even for some users these may also be counter-productive. For example some users might find Resveratrol constipating. However their effects are not so radical as ACV and CP."

04/22/2012: Suanne from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Uk. replies: "In answer to 'Treadcarefully from Singapore' I would totally agree with their posting on Cayenne Pepper. I took CP in tea form for 11 days (by mouth) 3 times a day after hearing of the amazing benifits for hemmorroids (internal and external). After about 3 days of the treatment the burning round my anus was intolerable, this of course in addition to the pain I was already in from the hemmorroids. Being someone not to give up easily, I kept going till I could stand it no longer... Ceased the CP and within two days the dreadful burning subsided and in four days it was gone. Wont be trying that again!! Not sure though if the CP capsules would have the same bad effects? Not for me though - have put myself through too much agony already.

As for the ACV, I have certainly found that using it externally (diluted 50/50 with water) and bathing the external area after each BM and before bed to be quite benefical. Still got my hems, but no where near as painful as they were, but am trying all sorts of various remedies and concocting my own from them. My latest being, Butchers Broom tincture (3 times daily), a small mug of 2 tbls ACV, 1 tbls honey, 1 tbls lemon juce, and 1 clove of garlic grated or cut up very small, mix all together and top up with warm to hot water. Take twice a day.... Will post again if I have found that magic potion which we all need...."

Can I take these Rutin tablets while I am breast feeding? And what brand of Rutin tablets I can take?"

[YEA]  10/08/2009: Kelly from Dallas, Tx: "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: "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.

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.
