The pain everyone is having is when there is an open cut on your roid. I was in so much pain a few years back I thought I was going to pass out. Luckily I found Aloe Gel with Lidocaine. It works instantly to relieve the pain and also helps reduce the roid. I am not sure what will eliminate them but I think I am going to try a few things like the raw garlic and ACV.Replied By Sith (Coimbatore, India) on 02/12/2012

I recently noticed that I have internal hemorrhoids and I was pretty worried about my future after seeing disturbing external hemorrhoids images on the internet. After doing a lot of search on alternative remedy I found one solution that made big progress in a week time. The remedy is garlic cloves with olive oil. Basically peel 10-15 middle size garlic cloves and baked them in 120 degrees oven for 10 mins. They will get softer. I tried the garlic cloves raw first but they weren't as effective as the baked ones. After baking the garlic cloves put some olive oil in a jar and soak the baked cloves in oil. Leave them there at least 1 day and use them as a suppository from your anus every night. Don't push them too far, just till pass the entry. Leave them there over night. Don't worry, they will come out with your first bowel movement. Do this at least for a week every night. If you think you need it more than once a day apply the cloves in the morning as well. I also advise you to have olive leaf tea one in the morning and one in the evening. Olive/ olive leaf and garlic are great anticeptic, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory.Replied By Jen (Sydney, Nsw Australia ) on 05/12/2012

I tried ACV too after reading all the testimonies here but after two days applying ACV it gets worse and more swollen. It didn't work miracles on me. The lump swelled up it almost cover my bottom hole. It makes me worried more. :-(Replied By Liz (Boston, Ma) on 11/26/2014
Gabby, have you tried sitz baths?
I never, in my wildest imagination, thought that something as simple as soaking in warm water a few times a day would heal hemorrhoids, but somehow, it does!
You can pick up a sitz bath at any pharmacy store for under $15.00. You put it on the toilet (after lifting the lid) then fill it with nice, warm water and sit/soak for 15-20 minutes a few times a day. You can do it as often as you like--the more, the better. You'll find that you want to do it often because the warm water itself is very soothing.
You could also put about 1/4 cup of Witch Hazel in the water for additional benefits, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at how just the warm water soaks alone will help you.
Hope you'll give it a try. Feel better!
