I have suffered with prolapsed internal hemorrhoids since the births of my heavy babies 10 years ago. They haven't hurt, were a cluster the size of one grape I guess, and rarely bleed but I find them unsightly and hugely embarassing. A few months ago I decided to try and seriously rid myself of them completely, not thinking it to be possible after so many years. I embarked on a number of changes.

I do the Edgar Cayce exercises daily which feel as though they work(see youtube) and tried his remedies (which didn't work brilliantly for me). I have a fruit and vegetable smoothie every day. I stopped drinking alcohol as I noticed when I did they would be bigger and sometimes bleed the next day. I cut down on sugar and quit white rice and white flour and meat. These steps eliminated constipation.

I changed the way I use the toilet, now I go using a small step which has been amazing. If I do get constipated I treat it quickly with a home enema.

I took Vitamin C, magnesium, Yakult, Butchers Broom, Diosmin, Horse Chestnut, Aloe Vera juice, Cayenne, Turmeric and Chinese Herbs daily (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan). They made a slight difference.

However, the biggest difference has been simple old Garlic which I found whilst reading your site. Since using it as a suppository day and night for the last 3 days my hemorrhoids have never been so small! I cant believe it, I'm very happy :)

Also, what I have found is that I always have a flare up every time I am angry or stressed and so I started meditating and I believe that helped too. Good Luck everybody, but if I can do it after having them for 10 years then anybody can!

I began having hemorrhoid issues in Jan of 2012.For the past three years I have had really bad case of bleeding. It turned out I have external and internal Hemorrhoids. I tried every natural cure, nothing worked. BUT, and thank God, here is how I cured my problem, both external and internal ones. I wiped with Apple cider vinegar for about a week, this completely cured the external ones.

For the internal ones, I sliced garlic and shoved up in my rear end. Garlic is like napalm against fungus and other bacteria. Within one day, all my internal hemorrhoids were gone. After three years of bleeding like a woman on her period, I am completely cured. 100 % gone. Side effect free.

I must say, at first when you wipe with ACV it burns, but keep at it, its temporary pain. and the garlic has a huge after taste in your mouth once you used it as a suppository. But it works :)

I just read a post that said over the counter preparations for hemorrhoids work just as well, but I beg to differ. My step mom tried several of them and kept going down hill until a kind neighbor brought over some simple garlic capsules. She had been in excruciating pain for weeks. She immediately took the garlic, in the evening, and was hundred percent better by morning. I am convinced natural is definitely best.

Reading that hemorrhoids are a form of Candida makes a lot of sense, as all of these are anti-fungal, antioxidant and antibacterial cures. I have had success in many different ways with all of them. Blessings.

I'd like to mention another good use of garlic, I didn't see it here. If you have hemorrhoids, take one clove of garlic pill it carefully and put it up your rectum at night time. It will go out naturally in the morning when you go to the bathroom you won't even notice anything. Do this every night till symptoms are gone. Mine where gone in only 3 applications. I don't remember where I read it. The guy was claiming that if you do it for a month or two you can even cure hemorrhoids for good this way. All I know is that I had the hemorrhoids for about a month on and off and it was killing me and it was GONE in 3 days. There is a site explaining why taking garlic from the other end is a lot better than eating it. It works faster; it gets absorbed better from the body without the side effects. You don't get your blood pressure lowered ( I have this problem when eating it) and the most important one - no nasty smell ;-)

Thanks to the person who directed us to this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH7wKQTc4f4&feature=plcp I have seen plenty of doctors in different specializations in 3 countries, tried many creams, antibiotics, I tried apple cider vinegar in many ways, oils, molasses, cayenne pepper, boatloads of garlic pills, bottles of anti parasite pills, tinctures, baking soda, changed my undergarments to different fabrics, I am a very hygenic person, I have ocd. I feel like I'm still not naming a bunch. Anyway, I burnt my throat, burnt my a-hole, you name it, I have a 99% chance of trying it already. Nothing worked. I'm probably broke because of hemorrhoid. I spent a lot of teen years scratching my butt bloody. I suffered having hemorrhoid for more than 10 years and the past 2 days were the best days of my hemorrhoid life.

At this point I don't care if it's still there and if I had to shove a garlic up there everyday twice a day. It makes me feel like I'm sitting on clouds. I woke up this morning fissure-free. :. ( I'm so happy. It itches when the garlic is no longer in there but I just put one back in there and I'm set. Coat it with some coconut oil, it doesn't even have to be a large one, it came out the way I put it in so I guess the size won't matter. It's not perfect, I itch sometimes still, but compared with the past 10 or so years, it's a lot to me. It makes me want to cry writing this. I hope it helps someone.

I don't know what's going on with my body. I'm only 25, people talk so positively about oil pulling, acv, molasses and all that. My body has no response to all of that. And I just cannot afford to go to the doctor and it's not like they helped. Usually when stuff like that happens to me, I'm basically on my own. I have 10 bottles of pills just on my desk. Nothing makes any difference. I have 2 dry rash spot on both arm on about the same location and it's been there most of my life. I lose hair like crazy, tea tree oil, Hemaplex, folic acid, flaxseed, whatever u name it, tried it (like I said, I'm broke already). Nothing works, docs can't even help me. Sorry to have gone off-topic. But this is how much garlic that cost less than 20cents have helped me feel anew. Now I'm off to treat my anxiety. :) Thanks EC.

After my son's birth I suffered from haemorrhoids and tried every remedy I could find. One day I read about garlic and I thought I might as well try this as well.... Never looked back. Never had another problem. Ever. Just use a garlic clove as a suppository. Pointed side up. You may coat it in oil first. Replace it every time you use the toilet. Within 24 hours you will see the difference. It is amazing.

Hi All,

A month back I had Hemorrhoids. I was quite not sure what it was. First I thought I had some kind of STD but didn't have sex for a long time so this possibility was ruled out.

Then I thought I had cancer but I am too young for that and workout regularly. so couldn't accept that thought either.

Looked for online review and found that I have Hemorrhoids/piles. Ok, this is very painful and started affecting my life. I was miserable. Found this site. I tried apple cider vinegar it didn't work. I was disappointed. Finally after one week of research I thought I would try this.

Garlic suppository. Take Garlic clean it and put it on the effected area. I saw the result in 1 Hour. Trust me this guy works.

Do these 3 days a week. Also apply witch hazel and aloe vera gel pads. I got it from Amazon.

Hope this helps who have got Hemorrhoids. No Doctor, No OTC Medicine, No Surgery. I believe Nature is powerful and the best medicine are free or inexpensive.

Thanks, Angelo

Hello Everyone,

I have suffered from a very painful external hemorrhoid for more than a year now. I've tried all possible home, OTC and Rx remedies, but nothing really worked. I tried ACV which seems to be really popular on this site, but that didn't work either.

One day I randomly came across an Ayurvedic blog which claimed that garlic suppositories work wonders. At this point I was ready to try anything and I didn't really have a lot of faith in something so simple. Well I was proven wrong!!! It was the best remedy so far! I basically peel a garlic clove and cut off the tips and rub it on my cutting board to get the juice flowing. Then, I coat it in olive oil and insert it as high as I can (I use finger cots available at any pharmacy). The first couple of times, the pain was extreme and it burned like crazy too! I also couldn't keep it inside for more than 20-30 min due to the pain. But, I kept at it and inserted a pod every few hours until I could finally insert it all night with very little discomfort. The garlic is discharged when you have a BM the next morning. I have done this for 4 nights so far and the relief has been immense! The sharp pain during a BM has been by reduced considerably and the itching/pricking after the BM has also lessened by a great degree. I am not 100% ok, but I intend to continue using it for as long as it takes. It's cheap, easy and safe.

Obviously, I have continued to watch my diet and eat healthy, drink lots of water and exercise. Nothing will work unless you address any underlying bowel issues like constipation, irregularity etc. But, I am truly delighted and hope this can help others out there like me who just can't seem to get any remedy to work for this cursed affliction. I'll update my progress in 7-10 days. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hemorrhoids - I wasn't getting relief from the excruciating pain with the commercial ointments I had been using, and it was the middle of the night. I concocted this on the fly with what I had handy, and it gave me relief within a couple of hours, both from the constipation and the really bad pain of the hemorrhoids.

I punctured about a dozen or so of garlic oil capsules and squeezed it out into two tablespoons of coconut oil in a little condiment container. Then I added two drops of tea tree oil. I only guessed at the amount, but I knew I didn't want the tea tree oil to burn.

Took a little square of clear plastic wrap and dropped a spoonful of the mixture onto that and put it in the freezer. When it was partially hardened, I shaped it as best as I could through the plastic into a suppository shape. It took a little practice. Then I put it back in the freezer a little while, and inserted it the best I could. You have to hurry because it melts at skin temperature.

About an hour and a half later I had a bowel movement which was much less painful than the day before, and later not hurting at all.

For hemorroids - Take a small garlic clove, cover with olive oil or any non toxic oil, and insert up the anus overnight. Yes you might feel a burning sensation, but I have tried this on many people with success. Usually one or two times is all that is needed. In the morning the clove is expelled when you use the restroom. The burning does not damage tissue. And the worst bleeding hemorrhoids will get better. I also suggest any kind of bioflavinoids, rutin, citris or grapeseed daily to keep them away. No, it does not cause garlic smell on the body.
