[YEA] 06/11/2009: Olivia from Brooklyn, New York writes: "ACV Shrunk My Hemorrhoid:
I have been trying the apple cider vinegar for my very large protruding, bleeding hemorrhoid. Thank God it has shrunk considerably in two days. I have placed raw acv on a cotton square and hold the protrusion within the folded cotton pad (the protrusion is long in size). I did this three times already and the bleeding stopped with the first application. It was a bruise, (from the protrusion rubbing against my underwear) not pouring blood as in some cases I read. I then inserted some coconut oil and pushed it back with my finger. It was out again this morning but I repeated the same procedure. The hemorrhoid was definitely smaller and no blood came off on the cotton bud. I just did it again and am very pleased with the progress. I think if it keeps shrinking in this manner it will be very tiny within a week. I have had this hemorrhoid since I was fifteen and I am now fifty four. I was thinking of surgery but was fearful because I have been told recovery is extremely painful. I am so thankful for those of you who take the time to let us know what works and what does not work for you."
Replies[NAY] 06/12/2009: Linda from Erlanger, Ky replies: "Hello, I would like to tell you that I once read on this site that ACV would help ease the pain and swelling of hemmorhoids, so I tried it. Well boy was I sorry I did! It burned and stung like nothing else! It made my condition worse! So this may work for some, but it sure didnt work for me."
[WARNING!] 09/10/2009: Mountaingirl from Asheville, Nc replies: "I agree. I take ACV orally and tried it topically for hemmorhoid type problem. It was the worst thing I could ever have done. Intense burning and swelling caused a normally 3 day issue into an extreme 1 week issue in which sitting was almost impossible. If anyone tries this, I would be very careful and wash the ACV off with any sign of uncomfortable burn."
08/21/2010: Cherie from Toledo, Wa replies: "Some people's skin are more sensitive than others and the area could be more irritated than others. Perhaps if you diluted the ACV with water and then applied this solution to a small part of the irritated area, you would have a better experience. For me, I just started using clear distilled vinegar because I didn't have any ACV at home and I noticed it took the burning/itching/pain away. It did sting a little but a little stinging is far better than the burning/itching/pain that I was receiving prior to using this vinegar. I'm also using this vinegar on my eczema and it has also taken the itching/burning/bleeding/pain away. I will try using the ACV tomorrow to see if it is better than the distilled vinegar. Wish me luck!"
[YEA] 02/24/2011: Carina from B., Germany replies: "... This might be a type of hemorrhoids which is caused by too much acid --- which was my case too. Researched about Ayurvedic treatments and found this recommendation which worked wonder for me - within 24 hours the heat/acidity of the hems went away - simply by eating 1 raw carrot in the evening which I spiralised as raw pasta. After an entire week of this uncomfortable ordeal - this was the solution for me:
1. Carrot (Daucus carota)
Carrots are effective in reducing the bleeding of the piles. They can be eaten in either raw or in cooked form.
2. Garlic (Allium sativum)
Garlic can stop the growth of bleeding piles. When it is kept in contact with the piles, I. E. In the rectum, then there is relief from the bleeding of the piles. Ideally it must be inserted high up in the rectum so that it stays there overnight.
There were more recommendations on this website but these were the two which worked form me. They explained that there are different types of hems caused by different underlying conditions that might explain why some of us do not react on the ACV in this particular case.
1. Vata type - These piles are hard and darker in color; almost black. The pain is acute. Constipation is present.
2. Pitta type - These piles are soft and reddish in color. Bleeding is present. Other symptoms are excessive thirst, fever and diarrhea.
3. Kapha type - These piles are slimy to the touch. They are large and soft and whitish in color. The person has digestive problems.

01/20/2012: Ajeeth from Toronto, Canada replies: "I have been suffering from frequent hemorrhoids for more than 20 years and controlling with good diet without chicken and ACV. Recently the best remedy I came across is adding 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper to a glass of water with 2tsp ACV. Also sticking good Chinese capsicum plaster over the hemorrhoids at bed time or during the day shrinks the swelling fast. Initially for the first two days you may feel uncomfortable with the cayenne pepper as it cleanses the system. So start with 1/4 tsp and increase to 1/2 tsp after every meal. Cayenne pepper and Apple Cider Vinegar also helps to reduce BP, Cholesterol, blood sugar and many other health benefits - http://www.cayennepepper.info/health-benefits-of-cayenne-pepper.htmlAlso adding 1/2 tsp pure turmeric powder helps in maintaining good health."

I am writing from Kosovo and I would like to comment on this issue as I have tried ACV and I feel like I was born second time. I used ACV while having my meal sallats and you just cannot believe how fast and good it removed my hemorroids.
I recomend to all of you that suffer from hemoroids to use ACV as much as possible while eating lunch or dinner.
IT HAS WORKED AND ALMOST CURED MY HEMORROIDS, I FEEL GREAT I CAN EAT, CAN SIT, WALK, RUN, SING, AND SO ON. IT IS LIKE A MIRACLE, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND MOST OF ALL INTERNET THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE TO SHARE COMMENTS AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.

[YEA] 04/10/2009: Mike Smith from Christchurch, New Zealand writes: "I had one enlarged haemorrhoid so I tried Apple Cider Vinegar - I applied it both topically and orally. In the morning I put a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass with a teaspoon of honey as it can taste a bit tarty - I then stirred until the honey had mixed in well and then added water and drank with my breakfast. Afterwards I put some Apple Cider Vinegar on some cotton wool and swabbed my haemorrhoid. I did this process both in the morning & at night.
After about 4 weeks now my haemorrhoid has slowly shrunk - before I tried this it didn't seem to want to go away however after using Apple Cider Vinegar it has slowly shrunk and now its no more - it also seems to help me with my digestion so I will probably have a glass each day now with my meal at night.
One thing to remember with haemorrhoids is to make sure you DO NOT strain in the toilet as this can cause haemorrhoids and make them worse. Best to eat some fibre including fruit & veges in your diet to as this will help against constipation. Just remember that when you are in the toilet to let it pass easily, lean over a little with ya elbows on top of your knees if need be."

[YEA] 04/03/2009: Marie from Portland, Maine writes: "I was contemplating surgery for the past few days. I have had hemmorrhoids for over 20 years and they were always a nuisance, but over the past year they have been getting very bad. This week was agony. I have plowed through a box of Preparation H and it wasn't helping in the least. I found this site and happened to have ACV in the pantry and thought I'd give it a shot.
I have applied it 3x so far today...and it's like a miracle. For days I was near tears with pain and absolute discomfort and suddenly, I am OK! I can sit, I can stand I can walk around without feeling like there is a knife inside me. Thank GOD for the internet!
I will continue to apply this (I just wet a cotton ball with regular old ACV...not organic or anything special) and left it in place for a couple minutes. It did sting a little...but heck, that was nothing compared to the stabbing pain I was having. The sting actually felt good in a strange way...
After the second application (which was about 90- minutes after the first) I felt some relief. I then applied it a third time and now here I can sit, at my computer to tell you how wonderful I feel.
And to think I was about to allow myself to have SURGERY! Why don't doctors ever give you any homeopathic remedies to try????? I urge anyone who is suffering to try this. How wonderful that something so simple could work so well. Thank you all for posting your experiences and helping out so many people!"
[YEA] 12/20/2009: In Pain from Trinidad, Trinidad And Tobago replies: "i have been getting hemmorhoids just after my last child and the pain is the worst. i tried amost everything. i cant take the pain anymore. sometimes it bleeds i tried the apple cider vinger, i also sat over a bowl of hot water withe the acv in it and i felt good for now. thank you for posting your thoughts, it really helped."
12/22/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello in Pain from Trinidad and Tabago,
Have you tried an ice application (can be done with ice in freezer bag)? This works better than heat applications.
There used to be a A&D suppository on the market which was very effective, but when I started having the problem again I found that they had been removed from the market. You could probably get the same relief from a tube of A&D ointment (This is an ointment containing Vitamins A & D which is the same vitamins in the suppository).
Something else found helpful in shrinking them & stopping the itching is to dissolve 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. of epsom salts in 2-3 ounces of warm water and inject it slightly inside the anus and maintain as long as possible. Injection can be achieved with small ear syringe, your turkey baster or anything similar you might find in your home.
Another thing you will probably find helpful is to increase fiber in your diet (easily done with switching to whole grain cereals & breads & eating more good old dark leafy greens like turnip greens, collards, kale,etc) to get rid of the constipation problem which causes a lot of hemorrhoids to begin with.
If the above doesn't do the trick, type "potassium iodide" in a search window and pull up Tahoma Clinic reference for article on SSKI written by alternative physician Jonathan Wright. You can print it out for handy reference for future use. For hemorrhoids he says to use 20 drops/1 ounce of flaxseed oil & apply nightly to make them disappear almost overnight. I didn't have any flaxseed oil, so those drops went into l ounce of castor oil, which worked fine.
For those of you who are still troubled with HOT FLASHES, flaxseed oil is said to be a good replacement for female hormones, and if you buy them whole, you can grind them (coffee grinders, anyone?) as you need them and put them in your whole grain cookie or muffin recipes. Flaxseed oil goes rancid quickly even when refrigerated, and it then is called linseed oil and great for polishing and protecting your wood furniture."
09/14/2011: Sahd from Gwent, Uk replies: "Joyce,re below I have bad prolapsed non bleeding piles after childbirth and want to try your recommended remedy below. You indicated that you tried it - was it for prolapsed pile and how long for recovery?

[YEA] 01/07/2009: Luke from Springville, UT, U.S. writes: "Apple cider vinegar works, how much I'm not sure. I've used alcohol and Hydrogen peroxide and the alcohol only helped a little, while the ACV works pretty good. I've only used it for a few days, and the itching is almost completely gone. The bleeding has slowed a little, and the hemorrhoids are still there. I would rate the ACV at 8-9 compared to what I have already tried. Thanks for your help."

[YEA] 12/17/2008: Beth from Durham, NC writes: "I've not used ACV topically but found out accidentally that drinking ACV cures even bleeding, protruded, unrelenting hemorrhoids. I suffered with all of the above for 3 months (not aware of any precipitating cause) when my dogs became infested with fleas. ACV was recommended as an effective topical remedy for flea bites so I dug out my bottle of organic unfiltered ACV from the back of the fridge, which I'd originally bought to help digestion and stabilize blood sugar (works great for both). While I had it out I drank a shot and within the hour my pain was gone. I googled ACV and hemorrhoids and realized that it was an effective natural remedy for that as well as fleas. I don't know why drinking it works but it works amazingly. The only problem is if I skip it for even half a day the twinges return, so I'll probably have to be on it 3 times daily for life. Worth it, though!"

11/23/2008: Young from Los Angeles, CA USA writes: "I have had hemmorhoids ( for most of us, a byproduct of constipational IBS) for quite some time. To the point where blood was streaming from my rectum like a cow being milked. I had banding surgery, two years later, a new one came back.
The funny thing is that I only bleed every now and then (once every 1 to 3 weeks - in 1 to 3 day periods), but when i do bleed, the blood streams out, or drips heavily like crazy. ( I would guesstimate about 2-3 cups of blood at a time )
I went back to the same surgeon who recommended stapling or a hemarrhoidectomy. The banding was very painful, and I was told these next options would be no better if not worse. Also, a big chance of incontinence in the future ( for me...this would be more of a nightmare than IBS )
I thought, " Man...i do not want to risk being incontinent because of surgery...hell no...forget that"
I began desperately scouring the Net in search of help...an alternative. Thats how I found this site and the ACV / Hemmorhoid topic. Today is my first day, one application of ACV so far...wish me luck...
**On a side note however, I wanted to share how I actually feel very blessed to have this hemmarhoid, because the only time I ever bleed is when I am experiencing Deep Fear or Stress. Its like I have this barometer that lets me know that I am not Thinking right, Living right, or my Spirit and Faith is not in alignment with God, my higher power. And as soon as I shift my perspective, or as soon as the adversity goes away...I immediately stop bleeding. Right away. Just like that!
Can anybody else look back and see if this applies to them?? Did some stressful event occur in your life and all of a sudden a Hemarrhoid started bleeding or caused you severe pain?? but once you handled the stressful problem,... the Hemmorhoid went away?
Good luck everyone! and Dont worry...be Happy : )"
03/31/2009: Frank from Spain, Valencia replies: "Thank you, I've started using the apple cider vinegar today. I felt related to what you mentioned, for me also stress events, deep anguish or tension also create a lot of problems. It seems that is deep and hence hard to control, so yes, It reminds me of God, is like my own body seems that i made somewhere a commitement to remember a higher power. For me it's been a year but a few months of weird constipation, itching and pain and my stools are somehow flat sometimes, this worries me lately, i'm going to get myself checked, but I agree that is a very emotional related issue. Thank you for your words and yes, don't worry be happy, worry would make it worse.
thank you"
04/14/2009: Anna from Philadelphia, PA replies: "Bleeding (any kind, but mostly menstrual which comes with stress even after a week or when I'm nursing) in my case is also very much correlated with stress! Great to know that I'm not alone in that!"
11/13/2010: Kenx from Singapore replies: "I think Young from Los Angeles above has pointed out an important connection between hemorrhoid bleeding and fear. In my case lately this seems to be true. They said fear is not all connected with the bleeding during defecation, just a nameless fear, a state of depression that enters into me throughout the day. I feel that it comes into me from the environment and it able to enter into me because I have not mastered the art of total positiveness. Hence I am now correcting my worldview, to look at things positively at all times, to not get agitated by issues however problematic they may appear and to accept situations and people as they are. I have come to realize that it is fundamentally more important to BE (spirit dimension) rather than be a problem-solver (intellectual dimension)."

10/24/2008: Alain from Ottawa, Canada replies: "Hi Jerry:
Look at this post for info about ACV
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/acvinegar.html
Apple Cider Vinegar is neither the red or white vinegar. These are filtered vinegar. ACV should be pale yellow/orange. You should try to get if possible the kind that says raw, unfiltered, organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother.
Good Luck"

[YEA] 10/18/2008: Ola from Oslo, Norway writes: "Suddenly, two large hemorrhoids appeared, probably from straining on the toilet. I'm in my mid twenties and this is my first time with this problem. Needless to say it was pretty painful. Sitting, standing, working, sleeping, everything was hard and painful. After two days the problem was only getting worse, so I started researching my problem on the Internet. I stumbled upon this great site and your tip of using apple cider vinegar as a remedy.
I bought a bottle of the stuff at the local super market and started applying it 2-3 times a day (every morning and before going to bed). For application I used cotton pads, soaking it well just short of dripping. I cleansed the area using perfume free baby vipes, especially if I was applying ACV after going to the toilet.
Applying it was somewhat painful at first, but it dulled down the pain of the hemorrhoids about 30 minutes after application, making it well worth the inital added discomfort. After just 2-3 days the pain was pretty much gone during the day. The size of the hemorrhoids decreased gradually. Now, only a little over two weeks since I started applying ACV, one of them is completely gone. The other one is just a sore spot (not a blob like it used to be). I have no pains at all, even when applying ACV. I'll probably stop using ACV now, to see whether the last remnants will disappear easier on its own.
Thanks to all who submitted their experiences, and thanks to Earth Clinic for making this great site! This has saved me and many others from an embarrassing, potentially expensive, painful and less effective visit to the doctor!"

[YEA] 02/02/2008: D. Blickman from San Diego, California writes: "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the incredibly simple apple cider vinegar for hemmeroids.
I could barely bring myself to try it for fear of extreme pain on a huge (and I do mean huge) long hemmeroid.
Trying Prep H and others for small hemmeroids I thought it would work...not this time. The pain was all the way up in my spine and there was some bleeding. I was hoping it would break and be done with it, but no such luck.
I finally got up the nerve to try the vinegar. First I put it on some scratches that I got from cutting trees in my yard. It didn't burn. I tried putting it on my face a few hours after shaving....still no pain. I said to myself, what the heck...the worst thing I will have to do is go into the shower and get it off quickly.
I took some of the advice and put petroleum jelly on both sides of the hemmeroid. Then with a piece of cotton I soaked it in the ACV. Held my breath and then I put it on. NO PAIN whatsoever!!!!! Just cooling type of feeling.
Within a few minutes, I noticed the pain totally disappear. I was able to work on my house for the past two hours with no problem.
It is still swollen, but not to have the horrible, horrible pain I feel like a new person.
I will continue to use it for the next day or even week. If it all shrinks down and there are no side or after effects, you will not hear from me again.
If anything occurs that is out of the ordinary I promise to help others as you have helped me and let you know everything.
By the way, there is no bleeding either.
God bless you all and for this site. I thought I was going to have to get pain killers or go to the hospital. Whew! Thanks so much again. I am so happy."

I have suffered from severe pain, nausea and hemerroids due to the inability to fully cleanse myself out because of the blockage. This has been on going for the past 5 years. I would have an "episode" at least once a week, sometimes 2 and 3 times a week. The pain was unbearable and would literally take my breath away. Since I started taking one shot of ACV daily I have yet to have an "episode". I now have the best movements in years! I am completely amazed! Also, I suffer or should I say used to suffer from arthritis in my hips. I have absolutely no pain at all now and I know it is from the ACV because I haven't done anything else to remedy. I wish someone would have told me about this a long time ago. It is the simpliest thing in the world to do and it is all natural! God Bless Apple Cider Vinegar! If you haven't tried it, YOU SHOULD! Also, my complexion is glowing!"

06/28/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hi Carol from Clairmont, ACVinegar is safe and works both internal & external application. My answer would definitely be: If you have one impetigo lesion (sore) use only on that one lesion; however, if it's accompanied by a sore throat, I would still use it externally on the one lesion, but I would also be drinking it for the sore throat."
07/10/2010: Dezi from San Jose, Ca replies: "As an alternative to ACV, I have always used witch hazel distillate water. It's very gentle, and you can't use too much of it. I actually use witch hazel as a toner on my face! Put a portion of witch hazel in the refrigerator. Soak a cotton ball or pad with the cold witch hazel and apply to the hemorrhoids. It shrinks them immediately. I'm a holistic health educator, and so I'm always looking for great remedies. This one is so simple, gentle, effective. Beware: witch hazels in the drug store may have alcohol in them. Be sure to buy one that does NOT contain alcohol. Witch hazel distillate water is best."

I took it to the restroom, soaked a napkin, and applied it to the sore area holding it there for a minute. The relief was instant. It felt so good I wished I could just leave it on it. Now that I'm back at my desk, there is still no burning or itching."

Replies06/24/2009: Hemorroid Cure from Toronto, Ontario replies: "Foods to avoid if you want to cure your hemorroids. No Pepper of any kind. No walnuts. No chocolate. No Meats, fish, chicken. No eggs. I believe that hemoroids might be some kind of parrasite that lives in your boby and enjoys eating those kinds of foods. I don't think much research has been done on it...I mean common, would you volunteer to push on the toilet to see if that is how you get hemorroids? Or would you volunteer to sit on cold cement. The truth is that these experiments have never been done and therefore we can conclude that those reasons are just theories."

Caution: some people find the full strength solution stings. If this happens to you, just dilute the vinegar half and half with water."

[YEA] 08/16/2007: K from SF, CA writes: "I have never suffered from bad hemorrohids. I took a flight to east coast and sat on my ass for 12 hours and then stuffed myself with Pizza. and oh boy next day I had to strain during BM and I started getting pain. It went away after 2-3 days without doing anything and came back after 10 days and it was painful. I could not sit and itching was unbearable. I applied some ACV but did not help. OTC itch cream did not help either so I applied some aloe vera and itching went away in few hours and it felt great. Then I started applying ACV on my hemorrhoids 3-4 times a day and it shrunk and doesn't hurt anymore after 2 days.
I see that one person has said that ACV gave him bad rashes. Same thing happened to me too. It gave me rashes too. So if you butt skin is sensitive then just be careful while you apply and only apply to your roids and apply some vit E oil or aloe vera on rest of the butt area. Thats what I have been doing.
Also drink plenty of water and fiber fiber fiber. Because if you strain again due to hard stool you are going to get your hemorrhoids back again. So DO NOT strain during your BM. Drinking ACV definitely helps. I also take 1-2 tablespoon of psyllium husk at night to soften the stool.
I also used wipes (wet in witch hazel) you get in walgreens. 5.99$ for pack of 100. Don't use toilette paper it will irritate your hemorrhoids.
Another thing I learned is doing KEGEL exercise (specially for women). I did it for 2 days and my hemorrhoids went inside. It helps you to tone your anal muscle and will help to stop hemorrhoids in future.
Basically whenever you urinate, try to stop the flow, hold it for upto 10 sec and release it and repeat it. Make sure that you're squeezing and lifting without pulling in your tummy, squeezing your legs together, tightening your buttocks, or holding your breath. In other words, only your pelvic floor muscles should be working.
google kegel and you should find more about it."
Replies04/01/2009: A from Vancouver, Canada replies: "It's not a good idea to hold a kegel (engaged pelvic floor) while urinating. It might help the first time to find the muscles but shouldn't be practiced in that way after the first time. Best to do them while not on the toilet as it could lead to a urinary tract infection. I do find it very helpful, for hemmorhoids and for toning the perineum for childbirth and recover post-partum."
04/02/2009: Jamie from Lake Worth, Fl replies: "I just wanted to concur that keigel while urinating is a no no. While my primary encourages keigels for women, she warned me not to while voiding my bladder or in need of doing so. The reason being the urge to urinate is signaled by the brain, by squeezing the muscles you stop the flow. Somehow it screws things up. Previously it was thought a good time to do keigles was while passing urine.
