ACV for Hemorrhoids: Effective, Natural Relief

I'm a 31 year old white male, 135 lbs. , 5'7". I had a hemorrhoid for about 2 years. Tried several creams. Really like wiping with Desitin diaper rash cream (the generic).

I came to this site and saw all the reviews, over a hundred I think, for ACV for hemorrhoids. After reading the reviews, I rushed to the grocery store in the middle of the night, bought some ACV for about $6, and cotton balls and bandaids. I took a bath with about a cup of ACV in it, stayed in it for at least half an hour.

Then I did what I really think cured it...I soaked a cotton ball in ACV, then taped it to my hemorrhoid with a bandaid or two. Then I put boxers on, sat on it and soon went to bed (leaving it on).

The next day, I checked my roid, and I swore it was half the size (it had been the size of a kidney bean for 2 yrs).

I still wasn't sure, but I felt optimistic. It might've been my imagination, but in 2 years you get pretty familiar with the size of your hemorrhoid.

Anyway, I continued, doing it no more than twice a day, maybe 3 times (I doubt it would go away faster if the applications were more frequent.. Maybe I only needed to do it once). So within 3 or 4 days, the hemmorhoid was completely gone. Then I stopped doing the cottonball thing.

That was in April of 2012, and now it's December 2012. So 7 months with no return of the hemorrhoid.

This has honestly changed an entire outlook in my mind. If I suffered for 2 years with no help from conventional medicine, then I find the wisdom in a crowd on the internet, and heal myself in a few days with $6, with vinegar! , what else am I missing!! ??

So after this cure, I sought youtube videos on hemorrhoids, people trying to peddle their hemorrhoid products, and I wrote comments on the videos spreading the word. "All you need is apple cider vinegar, it'll be gone a few days. Don't spend your money! "

I think white vinegar would probably work too. Most people have vinegar already in their house.

To be honest, after this cure, my trust in conventional medicine, in doctors, has taken a nose-dive. How many people suffer from hemorrhoids, go to their doctors, and their clumsy doctors don't even know about this?

Apple cider vinegar remedy for hemorrhoids:

I've had an annoying hemmorhoid since I had my last son 19yrs ago. It flares up from time to time. Well it's been bothering me for about a week now. I searched for this remedy. I decided to give acv a try and so far yes everyone initial reaction it stings a little at first but after I removed the cotton ball immediately the pain that I was feeling ranging a 8 was down to about a 3 almost not feeling it. Again this is my first time. I will be back in a week or so with the final outcome.

I've been a hemorrhoids sufferer for at least 30 years and during that time had banding done on a couple of occasions. That worked for quite a while but recently they have really flared up quite badly. The specialist's opinion was that surgery would be the only thing that would cure me. Not being exactly enthusiastic about that I've desperately being trying to find an alternative and painless remedy.

First of all I started using cayenne pepper in both drink form and also capsules. The drink is quite hideous but I stuck with it and it helped. then I also started taking Rutin. Again that helped but the hemorrhoid's were still there. Finally I started applying Apple Cider Vinegar direct to the hemorrhoids. A previous attempt using undiluted ACV was remembered and this time I used a 50/50 dilution. initially there was a some stinging but it was quite bearable. So, I've been using the above techniques for about 3 weeks and there is a huge improvement and the pain is much less than it used to be.

What I notice is that after a bowel movement the haemorrhoids are still there but they seem to shrink back much quicker and what remains does not hurt.

Every day is an improvement so I definitely intend to keep up with this regime and hopefully my suffering will be either much reduced or even completely ended.

Hi Earth Clinic, I am Chheanglay from Phnom Penh (Cambodia). I am writing to seek your advice in term of Hemorrhoids. I have had this Hemorrhoids for around 7 to 8 years already and it never makes me difficult when sitting but a bit hard in the toilet. So currently, I tried to test or cure it with Korean Apple Vinegar bought from a supper market, currently I have applied it three times already by putting the cotton with Apple Vinegar putting into the anus (internal Hemorrhoids) and it's painful and now the left side of my anal is swelling, so my question is that should I continue to use it or not? anyway, I am afraid it will causes serious effect. Anyway, I haven't gone and see the doctor yet cos. I want to try in a traditional way. So to treat it to original status (to cure it), could you help advise on this? Thank you in advance for your help support!! Chheanglay

Found an external grape size H several months ago and healed it by taking warm baths and improving diet. Was still experiencing soreness when sitting for long periods and suspected that the cause was internal H. Read about the use of ACV and decided to try it. Used a cotton swab to apply ACV with immediate results! Thanks for sharing.

I've dealt with hemorrhoids on and off since the birth of my first child 3 years ago, but after having my second, it's been hard to get them to go away! I've tried creams, cold packs, sitz baths, crushed garlic (OUCH! ) tucks pads, coconut oil.. Needless to say it would help them go away in about a week or so but they would never be fully gone.. I do take miralax every night because I am recovering from an anal fissure caused by me itching my hemorrhoids but I think it's healing if not healed since I finally tried using ACV after reading all 85 YEAS on here over and over to convince myself!

I did what everyone else does..put it on a cotton ball (not diluted) and WOW!!! It didn't really sting, left it on there for about 30 min or so and I couldn't feel any pain down there anymore! My BM this morning was painless!! I'm going to use it again today. I am so happy!! I came home from work the other day because of the pain. Ugh I was desperate to try this and I'm soo happy it worked.

Apple cider vinegar on a pad applied to hemmroid. Hemmroid was so painful I couldn't walk. After literally 20 seconds of applying vinegar I have immediate relief.

I concur. I too, age 40 and it seem to have gotten worse. But I used acv for the first time. It had a stinging sensation that subsided after a few minutes. I continued twice a day for three days. (warning!!! it worked!!! ) On the third day it burst!! I saw a few blood clots and bright red blood. No more pain. Beeding lasted for some days. Because of bleeding I went to Dr. But the Dr. said it was normal and seemed healthy - bright red and not dark, maroon, or black blood is no good. sooooo.....Thanks apple cider vinegar....it worked for me!!!

I've suffered from hemms for several years, presumably caused by my IBS and straining too much (due to the constant feeling that I needed to "go").

At my wits end, I found this site after reading about using plaintain as a poutlice (didn't seem to do much, if I'm honest, but I may try again) and decided that after all the positive reports of ACV on piles, I'd give it a try.

I applied a cotton pad soaked in ACV for 10 minutes yesterday and 10 today and the hemms have actually got worse as a result. They're much larger and a look more inflamed.

Perhaps I need to dilute the solution, or it could just be that ACV doesn't work for me. My advice: try a diluted solution on a small area first :(

Just tried this natural remedy because I read all the testimonies if applying ACV to hemorrhoids. I used a cotton ball and applied the vinegar right to the hemorrhoids. I HAD SUCH EXCRUCIATING PAIN!!! I just vomited it hurt so bad. I know others are swearing by it, maybe I have severe hemorrhoids. I know they've been there for years. But I don't think I can stand this treatment. Anyone else experience this SEVERE pain??!!

I've used Apple Cyder Vinegar for my hemmoroids for at least 15 years and have not had a problem with it. It goes away sometimes for year or so sometimes depending on my diet. Some spicy foods seem to flare it up or sitting for extended periods. Also the seating does make a difference.

I usually don't get hemorrhoids, but I got this one after having diarrhea. This one really flared up and it hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. I bought some preparation H and applied for 2 days with no affect. I googled natural remedies to help cure hemorrhoids. Apple Cider Vinegar was top choice. Like 10 minutes after applying ACV the pain went from unbearable to moderately painless! I totally stopped using P-H and continued using ACV and the swelling has gone down and I will never waste my money on P-H again!

Am simply amazed to the point where I do not know where to start pointing this out, am a 26 year lady and I have been suffering for hemorrhoids as long as I cant remember, this might have result to staying too long during bowel movement and on/off constipation. But recently, I have been experiencing crucial sharp pain and discomfort while sleeping, walking and sitting down. So I went to hosp and Dr mentioned surgery as the only way to solve it, since I have never done surgery before I started searching in internet and come across this site. You guys are simply amazing, thank you for all for the post, I have been using ACV and am on day two and am simply amazed by the result.

im hoping this comment is goin in with all the others coz I just wanted to say thanks so much for sharing this one! I just tried it, after like many here it seems who were also on the edge of getting the chop! To b honest I have lost my faith completely in doctors, and the medical industry is an greedy, heartless embarrasement, so the last thing I wanted to do was to put my hem' probs (which resembled the giant lips off one of the easter island statues! ) in the hands of any vaccination-supporting, pharmacutical-shareholder, knife-and-rubberband-weilding doctors aiming at my holiest of holies! Thank you to the people on this thread!!

Also Im a drummer by trade!! Imagine that pain next time you watch john bonham solo...

Just started today but I had two tablespoons raw ( it nearly knocked me out it was so vile! )..

Then drenched some rolled toilet paper in this ACV, which was now making my apartment smell like an armpit, and shoved it, where I swear there used to be a sword!

10 minutes later, paranoid someone was gonna pop in for a cuppa, and catch me with wadds of foul smelling paper falling out of unkown folds, I hosed my self down, appologised to the neighbour; whos window was slamming shut, and had an hour and a half of bliss!!! Only a little pain remained, I mean little, left to remind me he aint gone yet, but im hoping thats just the start of a total annihilation of this literal pain in the butt!

but peace!!

spread the love

spread the word,

give me today

if tomorrows absurd

i love my music, however now my bedroom is smelling a bit too funky!

Topical application of apple cider vinegar, just once, quickly helped heal a hem when it did not appear to be getting better after 4 days. I never have this issue, but something triggered it at the end of a quick trip to Costa Rica last week. Possibly a parasite? Very painful. 24 hours before the hem appeared, I felt like I was suddenly bitten in the rump by a scorpion. I wasn't, obviously, but the pain was searing for a minute or two. At any rate, after I returned home and it didn't seem to be getting any better by the 4th day, I read through every post on EC's hemorrhoid page and decided topical acv one evening before bed was the thing to try. Burned like the dickens, but much better the next day and totally healed after 2 days. I only did it once for about 20 seconds. Oh, I also took parasite cleansing herbs right away just in case.

Apple cider. Help me with hemmoroids. like magick. Every morning I drink straight from bottle one gulp.

Have had piles on and off for 30 years. Tried Apple Cider Vinegar on cotton wool. Works wonders! Tried this before checking what the internet had to say about it. ACV also removes moles on the skin. Apply undiluted on cotton, fix.a sticking plaster over it. Repeat twice a day for five days. The mole will drop off.... I've tried it and it works.

Carmen again. It is 6/15/15, and I wanted to give an update to my roid cure with ACV. It's over a week or so since I wrote first and I am still satisfied that the ACV is the greatest healing agent for hemmys. Still no blood at all and I am becoming convinced that something in the ACV was missing in my body. I don't know but I can say that taking it internally at least once a day, usually I try to drink 1/2 glass purified water with a couple tbls of ACV twice a day and using it also as a poultice pressed against the rectum for 15 minutes every morning, as a preventative as the swelling is gone... is keeping all inflammation away. I don't need to wear a panty liner for the possibility of bleeding anymore. If you are suffering, please try an organic ACV. Don't know if there is even another on the market. Some testimonials have suggested that using any ACV will work but I figure using a healthful food product for a physical problem should be as free of pesticides and poisons as possible.

And my hair is also not falling out at the usual rate it always has. I don't understand it and honestly do not have thinning hair at all. My daughter when dyeing it always comments on how thick it is. But I usually lost an average amount of hair, about normal...100 or so a day. And now, the plastic hair catcher in the shower drain, which used to be brown with my hair, is now only 1/2 covered. SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE!
