Was At The End Of My Stick, Until.. (Shanghai, Shanghai/ China ) on 05/02/2011:
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!

NEED HELP!! I have spent the last three days dutifully (possibly naively) applying the ACV treatment. It has made my hemorrhoid much worse than it began. It has never even hurt until now. I understnad this may not work for everybody, but I have not read a single review yet that made ACV sound like anything other than a miracle. What am I doing wrong?
Once a day, I soak a small wad of TP in ACV, place it on the hemorrhoid, and let it sit there for 15-20 minutes. It begins to sting after the first minute or so, and the sting worsens all the way until the end. It is then painful to the touch, and swollen, and noticeable the rest of the day.
I have been ingesting vinegar as well for a few days, with no side effects, so I don't think I'm allergic. This seems like such an incredible and widespread solution, and yet if I judged by my experience alone I would say it's the worst possible thing to do for your hemorrhoids. The opposite of a cure.Any other "miracle" solutions out there? Please help.

Hi all! Well let me tell you I have had this problem for years!! Now my daughter had her first baby and from pushing during labor, .. Well you all guessed right. She now has the same issue. I went on line last night because the itching and then the pain and then the burning was just unbearable. I had dealt with it by icyng the area. But I never had complete relief. So I went to Trader Jo's and bought an organic bottle of AVC. I Just tried the AVC!!! And OH MY Gosh!!!! It worked! Almost imediately! After like 30 seconds of sting though. I will pass this on to as many sufferers out there. Thank you all. View Entire Thread

Hello everyone I am very thankful with earth clinic, for finding a cure to my bleeding Hemorroids, I read ACV for this, and Fargelin natural chinese medicine, I gave it a try and it did work. So if anybody is suffering from this give it a try it will work.

... 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.

I discovered a Hemorrhoid (first time ever) in the shower one morning. I found earthclinic website and tried ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) cure. Soaked cotton in ACV and placed on hemorrhoid for several minutes, twice daily morning and evening. In approx. one week it went away and has not returned. That was now several months ago. Excellent, cheap cure.
New Mama (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) on 02/03/2011:
I got my first hemhorroid while sneezing in my 7th month of pregnancy. I was shocked because I thought with a healthy diet I could avoid them. However, the pressure of the baby was enough. So, if you have them, don't feel too bad. Anyone can get them! That one was small and painless, but it wouldn't shrink. Six weeks AFTER my baby was born, I suddenly got one external and one internal (I believe; haven't had them checked by any professional) and had bloody stools with severe pain. I don't know why I got these weeks after the baby was born, except that it may have coincided with my probiotics running out. In any case, I was devastated by the pain around Christmas time, and saddened that I wouldn't be able to resume intimate relations with my husband. I didn't want ANYTHING near that area. It felt like a knife inside me when I used the toilet, and one night I couldn't even sleep for HOURS because of the pain. The only comfortable position was standing.I put myself on a severe high fiber diet, but I am breastfeeding my baby, so I needed to make sure I was still eating fat and protein or my milk would decrease. It was very difficult to do this. After two days of this diet, the pain lessened, but there was no change in the size of the hemhorroids.
After searching numerous sites, I found this one and just happened to have some raw organic ACV with the mother. I started drinking a cup of warm water with a capful of ACV (about a teaspoon, I guess) each morning and evening. I would immediately brush my teeth because some people mentioned it is bad for the enamel of your teeth. I would also use a cotton ball to apply the ACV to both hems several times a day after using the bathroom. After a few days I noticed a MAJOR decrease in pain. The first morning after starting this, the larger hem was even bigger (swollen?) but not more painful. I was a bit nervous, but kept going. It took about eight days to notice a reduction in size of the hems, and since then every day has been better. The small, painless one (from sneezing) is very shrunken now, and sometimes I can't even feel it at all when I apply the ACV. The other one, the PAINFUL one, is much smaller, and I am SO RELIEVED! The one I believe is internal does not hurt AT ALL today, and I'm on day 12 of this regimen. Praise the Lord! I am so thankful for finding this website. THANK YOU!!!
I plan to continue this until they are gone. I do believe it will work. Some people mentioned four to six weeks, so I still have great hope that they will go away completely. Every other site out there says there is NO CURE for hemorrhoids except surgery. I no longer believe that! Thanks, Earth Clinic!!!
Tom (Ransomville, New York) on 11/08/2010:
I soak a piece of TP with the ACV. Then apply it for about 10-20seconds. At first it stung like hell. I did this 2 to 3 times. After a few minutes the soreness went away and within hours the offenders shrank. Within days the problem was gone. I still find it hard to believe that it could be that easy. Now and then I feel the contenders trying to make a come back but I quickly douse them again and relief is just as fast. I never go anywhere without my bottle of AVC. Good luck - living with hemorrhoids is no fun! View Entire Thread

I suffered from hemorrhoids that made my life unbearable. Pain, bleeding and constant irratation. I finally agreed to have a doctor remove it. What a mistake. Doctors lie!! The recovery took months and the hemorrhoids came back. A last ditch effort have reading about Apple Cider Vinegar on this website, work like a charm. I was shocked at how well it worked and fast. I have since recommended to several people and they have also had amazing results. Thanks to Earth Clinic - No more pain in the rear!!!
Alana22 (Portland, Maine) on 09/21/2010:
Apple Cider vinegar definately works. I was also desperate and just tried it. I cleansed the affected area and also tried to get some inside (sorry gross). I went to bed and after about 10 hours I noticed relief. At first I thought, what the hell did I do because it burned, but I went to bed was actually able to sleep which I hadn't been able to do because of the pain. I woke up the next morning and relief! No pain, and one of the hemorroids was started to shrink the other were not as swollen. I had about seven hems total, some external, some internal and now about three weeks later I'm dealing with two that haven't gone away yet (much milder though), but two out of seven is so much better to deal with!

Better But With Side Effects
Thanks for the side effect note, I too thought more is better and soaked a cotton ball and let it sit there most of the night, next thing I know the muscle that was swollen is back inside but the skin has peeled, I was horrified after seeing that, thanks for your insight, I feel better knowing that it was the AVC that caused it View Entire Thread

I have had constipation, hemorrhoids, all kinds of nasty digestion issues since I had my appendix removed over 15 yrs ago. I've tried everything and I mean everything.. Here's what I've discovered in my research (thanks EarthClinic) Rutin and Vitamin B6: this is needed if you have weak vascular walls.. I tried this and have little success because weak veins wasn't my issue. My issue was my stool, was so hard and large due to too much fiber/water and not enough good bacteria in my colon.. so even though I knew this I couldn't fix it until I tried ACV Coconut Oil, but let me say this ACV didn't work by itself. In fact, It wasn't until I used Ted's Remedy which increases the PH to alkaline levels that I had true success and I mean wow! I took 8oz of water mixed in 1/4 tsp of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of ACV and took 1 teaspoon of Coconut oil.. and I fell asleep..
Now just to explain to you the situation I was in.. I had just went and I was hurting bad.. I couldn't move but barely hobble and still had some feces that was like clay and couldn't come out.. it really sucked.
But, after I woke up I ate some food and a couple hours later I had to go to the bathroom.. and when I went oh man it was amazing.. it was soft and virtually struggle free.. I prayed that the Lord show me an answer and He did!
I'm going to keep taking this to cleanse me out.. also a lot of you should read the book, Fiber Menace it explains the effects of fiber on the colon.. you need to repopulate your bacteria, get rid of the bad, strengthen your veins, and take ACV Coconut Oil it really works.

I was amazed how fast Apple Cider Vinegar cured my hemorrhoids. I was desperate. I had not been able to sleep for a little over 48 hours due to the pain. I was only in slightly less pain standing. I didn't know what to do, where to turn. I had tried a couple "all natural, herbal" remedies with no luck. There was a lot of blood loss. So I tried ACV. I drank 2TBsp in water 3x a day and poured a little on TP and dabbed it on the area when I went to the bathroom. It started to work almost immediately. I only tried it because I was too tired to think, but it really worked. Been a couple weeks and still no roids. This is a first in years. I know it sounds crazy, but try it and you too can be amazed.
Leeandmel (Loyall, Ky) on 02/11/2010:
I couldn't believe it. My wife was in tears today over her hemorrhoid. The last time hers flared up she had to go the ER and they cut it. Well I read the your comments on the ACV, and WOW, and I mean WOW it really works. There was an immediate relief, and the size went down. This is amazing, Thanks for the info... View Entire Thread
Clela (Columbia, Tn) on 01/30/2010:
Actually tried ACV after being reminded that it was generally healthy for you. After the 1st day I realized that my hemorrhoids were better. I mean that I was taking 2 tbs with water in the morning and before bed and added 2 tbs to large bottle of water and sipping during the day by mouth. Haven't tried applying directly. They were markedly better with just drinking the ACV. I am sure more good things are happening but this one really surprised me. I should have realized just how much my body was craving it when it tasted so good.
Richard (Canandaigua, Ny) on 01/22/2010:
Apple cider vinegar absolutely worked, I usually take a bath in hottest water I could stand then dry and use ACV twice a day.Thanks everyone for sharing your remedies! View Entire Thread
Cindy (West Palm Beach, Florida) on 12/30/2009:
I was considering making a doctor's appointment for my hemorrhoids, which had been very uncomfortable for several months. Before making that call, I decided to check the internet for a natural remedy. I am grateful I found this site and tried apple cider vinegar. That was 4 days ago. The pain and itching are gone and the hemorrhoids have decreased 50% in size.
Suggestion - If the apple cider vinegar stings, try applying an ice compress to the area for about 5 minutes before the apple cider vinegar. This numbs the area, helps with swelling and takes away the sting.

Treating hemorrhoids using Apple Cider Vinegar absolutely worked for me. Used a small piece of cotton cloth, put a cap full of ACV on the cloth and then placed it on the hemorrhoid. After doing so, I laid down in the fetal position on my left side on my bed (so as to try to relax my muscles in that area). After about 20 minutes I noticed a tremendous difference. The pain had subsided and the hemorrhoid actually started going back in! It's a miracle that it worked so good in such a short period of time. I'm going to continue to apply for the next couple days. Thanks again Earth Clinic and everyone who contributes! You guys are really make a difference!

Better But With Side Effects
I used a solution of 1/2 ACV and 1/2 water to wash my hemorrhoid after going to the bathroom. It worked to reduce swelling within 3 trips to the bathroom. I decided ... some was good, more would be better. I put solution on a cotton ball and left there all night-MISTAKE! It burned the sensitive skin so bad the skin sloughed off causing immense pain. Please remember, MORE IS NOT BETTER!
Carla (Omaha, Ne) on 10/02/2009:
Acv worked. i was so skeptical cause i tried everything for my hemrroids. prepation h, tucks pads, hydrocortizone cream and suppository they relived the pain but did not shrink them. used a cotton ball soaked in acv twice and it has gone done.. it did sting a tad but not at all like i thought it would. i can sit at my computer and on the toliet to pee without them throbbing or hurting. have not had a bm yet so wish me luck!! thanks for this great website.
Mountaingirl (Asheville, Nc) on 09/10/2009:
Warning
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. View Entire Thread
Mehru (Portland, Or) on 09/05/2009:
I did get a pretty painful hemorrhoid again and read here that apple cider vinegar applied on a cottonball helps. I kind of doubted it but tried it out and it calmed it down immediately. The swelling and the pain is gone after the first application!
Caroline (Leeds, England, Uk) on 08/27/2009:
My boyfriend is an avid reader of this site and has long been waving the flag for the qualities and health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar. Having read the section on Hemorrhoids and the amounts of Yea re: ACV. I cynically gave it a try. Dosing a piece of cotton wool and holding on the affected area for about 30 seconds morning and night, it did the trick. I cannot believe it! After a week and a half of applying the ACV it dramatically reduced the size of the protruding offender (which I may add was the size of a very large grape :-(. To the point it has disappeared! I am very impressed and would definitely recommend anyone to do the same, it certainly had a greater impact than the prescribed cream from my doctor. Thank you for your advice
