April 17, 2009 Hemorrhoids or Piles are amongst the most common diseases today, and many people suffer from it especially in the western world. They are sore and inflamed condition of the veins inside or outside the rectum.
There are three types of piles namely External, Internal and Bleeding piles. In external piles there is severe pain and not much bleeding. Internal Piles are characterized by the discharge of dark blood. Bleeding piles occur due to the bursting of rectal veins.
The main symptoms of hemorrhoids are pain at passing stools, frequent bleeding, itching, burning and soreness after passing stools. Constipation is the key feature of all kinds of piles.
The main cause of hemorrhoids is constipation and other liver and digestive disorders. When bowels are constipated, pressure is applied to pass the stools which cause congestion of rectal veins and this leads to piles. Excessive use of purgatives and laxatives irritate the rectal lining and result in the inflammation and enlargement of veins and disturb the mucus lining. Hemorrhoids are most common during pregnancy and problems of upper bowel and liver.
Mental tension is also one of the principal causes of piles. Due to this the bowels are not emptied properly without spending proper time in the toilet. The pressure exerted on the rectal veins due to straining also lead to piles. Heredity factor also play a major role in the development of piles.
Natural remedies for hemorrhoids: The treatment of hemorrhoids should first commence with removing the basic cause of piles namely constipation. The intestines should be properly and thoroughly cleansed and the digestive system should be given complete rest for a few days. A simple diet consisting of fruits should be adopted by the patient for at least one week. After that the patient may adopt a natural foods diet for ensuring soft stools.
Dry figs work as a very good remedy for piles. Two to four figs should be soaked in water overnight after cleansing them thoroughly. After getting up early in the morning firstly they should be taken along with the water in which they were soaked. They can even be taken in the evening in the same manner. This remedy should be administered for two to four weeks. Figs contain tiny seeds which have an excellent effect of stimulating the movement of intestines. This facilitates easy bowel movement and keeps the anal canal clean. Due to this the hemorrhoids get shrinked and contracted.
In case of bleeding piles Jambul fruit works as an effective remedy. During its season this fruit should be taken along with salt every morning for three to four months. This fruit offers a rapid cure from piles and relieves the patient from the problem of bleeding.
Mango seeds are also very effective for bleeding piles. During the mango season; the seeds should be collected and dried in shade and powdered. They should be stored safely for use as a medicine. They should be administered in doses of 1gm to 1.5gm with or without honey.
White Radish is considered highly beneficial in the treatment of hemorrhoids. For this purpose the radish should be grated and mixed with honey. Juice extracted from radish can also be taken along with honey. It should be taken in doses of 50 to 80ml in the morning and evening. White radish can also be grounded and mixed with milk to form a paste and applied externally on piles to reduce pain and swelling.
The patient should drink at least 10-12 glasses of water everyday. Straining should be avoided while passing stools. Applying cold water packs and sitting in tub filled with cold water upto four minutes with knees drawn upto the chin
helps to shrink the pile mass and tones up the walls of rectal region. Entire area of hips should be covered by water filled in the tub. Other water treatments beneficial in curing piles are cold compress and cold perineal douche applied to the rectal area one hour before going to bed.
Exercise also plays a very important role in toning up the entire system. Exercises are beneficial for improving the activity of abdominal muscles, which enhance the circulation of rectal area and relieve congestion.
Walking and swimming are one of the best outdoor exercises of building up health and vitality. Yogic asanas such as helasana, sarvangasana, vipritakarani, gomukhasana and yogic kriyas such as vamandhouti and jalneti are also very helpful.
Thus we can say that hemorrhoids or piles are a result of change in living habits, chronic constipation, fast food culture, excessive intake of tea and coffee and mental tensions. They are not much a serious problem but trouble caused by them disturbs the health of patient.
