Turmeric, Zinc Oxide, Aloe Vera

Hello All. 40 Years of dealing with H's and just figured this out. Good luck to you all and I hope you are as happy as I am with the results. It's easy and no scary pills or painful applications. Just plain relief.

This worked to reduce my H's to almost negligible - in less than a week. I have struggled for years and tried most of the recommendations on this website, not to mention prescription meds and over the counter Prep H which does absolutely nothing.

Here are the items needed to fix your hemorrhoids in short order:

Cotton round/oval - in the make up section of the store

Aloe Vera Juice - the Pure liquid kind for drinking (kept in the refrigerator)

Zinc Oxide - baby diaper rash cream 40% Zinc Oxide

Turmeric powder - I ordered in bulk online and keep this in my medicine cabinet.

Directions:

Wet the cotton round with aloe vera and lay aside, squeeze a dab of zinc oxide paste on the wet cotton, sprinkle Turmeric power on top of that. Hold that on your tender area for 30 seconds or so. That's all. It is very soothing immediately. You are good to go and enjoy your day.

I used this twice daily for about a week and my years long H's have shrunk to very very minimal. Turmeric stains clothing - no big deal. Wash and keep in a special place for the next time you may need this treatment.

Best wishes.

Witch Hazel for Hemorrhoids

I sat on a frozen cement step in the dead of winter and my mother told me I was going to get 'piles'. I didn't even know what she was talking about. Well unfortunately about a week later I did!!

I lived with this problem for a while until trying witch hazel. I mixed it with zinc oxide powder from the health food store which is another popular natural remedy and it worked! I would apply once or twice a day for 2-3 days and it would be pretty much entirely gone. It kept coming back however which was frustrating.

However it is almost completely gone now, rarely I have a few small symptoms but barely noticeable. I think that may be due to now taking magnesium oxide daily. I now have zero constipation whatsoever and no straining. I also use a stool to put my feet on. So those are the things that worked for me, best of luck to everyone!

Avocado seed for Hemorrhoids: grate an avocado seed. pour in some filtered water. strain. add some honey for taste and drink throughout the day and your hemorrhoids are gone. It worked for me. I learned this from somebody who had to wait for surgery while his surgeon was recuperating from an illness. By the time his surgeon return there was no need to go under the knife. People from Haiti should know about this.

Castor Oil, Blackstrap Molasses +

Castro oil, blackstrap molasses, OTC 1000mg diosmin hesperidin for grade 3 prolapse

The first hemorrhoid I ever had in my life was when I contracted Covid in 2020. It was a grade 4 thrombosis prolapsed hemorrhoid that I had to have removed after it turned into a skin tag that would not go back in. Fast forward to 2026. I start experiencing pain and itching and I don't know why. I touch myself and find a huge hemorrhoid sticking out of my butt. I tried castor oil on cotton pads, coconut oil suppositories, all with a heating pad whenever I was sitting down. The castor oil did remove the itching and shrunk it a little, but it stayed stable at the size of a medium grape which I could push back in, but would come back out every time I use the bathroom. After reading on Reddit and here I tried another approach because I'd had this hemorrhoid for a week now. it wasn't getting any worse, but it wasn't getting any better. I ordered diosmin from Amazon and dug out the black strap molasses in my pantry. I took 1000 mg three times a day, and 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses twice a day and before I went to sleep, put castor oil on a cotton pad in my underwear. The next day my hemorrhoid was quite a bit smaller. It was now the size of a small grape. Because I did not know which curative helped me. I did it all again the following night. day, three of waking up my hemorrhoid now stays inside on its own and has shrunk so much. I know I only need another day of this routine in order to fix it. It was a lot less invasive than having a doctor go up my backside with tools and a light. Less costly as well. I will continue taking the diosmin for another two days as required, then taper it off to 1000 mg once a day for the next four days. I'm going to take the molasses in the morning at night for the next two days as well and put the castor oil on when I go to sleep each night until it disappears. Which should be tomorrow. I can't even tell you the relief. I feel that it has gotten smaller without any intervention.

Ozonated Oil

Been suffering from non stop hemorrhoids for well over a decade. Enemas of all sorts never helped, they seem to make it worse sometimes. Tried ozone olive oil suppositories for vaginal or rectal use, I use promolife kind or made at home using purchased suppository molds, three placed at night, placed very shallow, not deep, push suppository in and don't insert finger into anus, left in overnight, wear some sort of padding for absorbing any leakage, did this nightly for about a week, then one day as I was sitting doing my normal straining, was normally expecting usual hemorrhoid to pop out, and noticed that all traces of hemorrhoids are completely gone for the first time in many many many years.

Manual Lymph Drainage

Try manual lymph drainage to reduce size of external and internal hemorrhoids. I could believe how well it worked for me when every other home remedy did not.

Calendula and Goldenseal Tea

After some loose stools, I had a particular bad case of hemorrhoids. I have bleeding hemorrhoids before, and I healed it with hygiene and witch hazel. This time it came back, and witch hazel did not help. Tried castor oil and mouth wash, did not help either. I then put h2o2 on first then put gel from fresh aloe leave to sooth. It helped but it still bothered me though significantly less. I then made a tea out of golden seal root powder and dabbed it on. It helped but not completely. I then made a tea out of dried calendula flower and added it to the golden seal tea, so each portion is about half and half. I dabbed on the mixture. I could feel it made a real difference. I continued this tea mixture every time after a bowel movement. After a couple of days, I could not feel it anymore. Also, don't sit right the hemorrhoid spot. Elevating your bottom a bit, whether by tilting it left or right by lifting up your thigh or sitting on donut shape cushion, so that area is not touching anything. Hygiene is another must. Put some water on toilet paper and damp wipe until no spot after each bowel movement. Among all of the remedies I tried, the mixture of golden seal root and calendula flower tea worked the best.

Avocado Seed

I found this site while looking for natural prevention tips. The avocado seed remedy is new to me - thank you for sharing detailed experiences here.

I work a 9-5 desk job and I'm trying to be proactive about prevention. Besides the dietary suggestions like fiber and water on this page, does anyone have experience with standing desk converters? I'm wondering if alternating sitting/standing actually reduces pressure vs just taking walking breaks.

Really grateful this community exists for sharing real experiences. Avoiding the clinical fear-mongering is so refreshing.
