Yes! ACV is definitely working. I am 19 weeks pregnant and recently got a terrible external hemorrhoid. It was about the size of a grape on Sunday, red / purplish in color, painful, swollen and just down right nasty. I went to my doctor and got a prescription but decided to give natural remedies a try first. Since The first day I noticed it I began applying coconut oil about 5 or more times a day and making sure to keep the area clean. It helped with the burning and pain, so I was more comfortable pretty much after 2 days but the size was still the same. Then I read about ACV and decided to give it a try. I began to use it on Tuesday. One cotton ball soaked applied topically, once a day so far. First night about 3 minutes, because it was stinging a little. Then I rinsed. Second night about 5 minutes and last night about 10 minutes. This morning I noticed a huge difference. (It is Friday). The size of it shrank to about half! I am so impressed. So guess what, I am going to continue this until it is completely gone. If you read online it says that the darn things don't really go away, etc. I was terrified. But so far I am very pleased with my results and that's after only 5 days of treating it this way. I am still applying coconut oil (extra Virgin, organic, cold pressed) to keep the area moisturized and it apparently helps with the swelling too. I am writing this because I found all these testimonials very helpful and encouraging. I remember my mom suffering from hemorrhoids for years. If only I knew back then what I know now!
Also, I have changed my diet by adding a lot more fiber so I don't strain when I go. I am sure this is very important too. I'll have bran cereal with almond milk in the morning, adding 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, walnuts, a little bit of fruit and maple syrup for sweetness. I'll have brown rice with broccoli or Brussels sprouts for lunch and a Metamucil or Psyllium husk before bed. And lots of water. I still eat other things like the other night I had steak and fries but in moderation and most meals are foods that will pass easily when you go. This has also made a huge difference.
i hope this remedy helps out a ton more people seeking relief because I now realize how horrble this can be! Also, I am so curious to know just what else ACV and other natural remedies are good for, given these results.
Good luck to you all!

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.

After month of suffering and using preperation h products I was about to give up and go to the Dr. Which I knew I would not leave there without them cutting me up in the most sensitive area. I saw this site recommended Apple cider vinager. I followed the directions diluted a bit and added prune juice to my diet. And same day results oh my what relief just felt I should share thank you so much for the guidance and literally save my ass.

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!

My hemmy hurts after apple cider vinegar use. I feel it definitely got smaller. Def mix water with it to dilute the potency of the vinegar. It does work somewhat

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

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!!!
