Hemorrhoids are embarrassing, painful and uncomfortable, and can often leave people looking desperately for relief. The options for treatment can be confusing and even very expensive, but they don’t have to be. There are many natural and homeopathic options, using materials and ingredients you may already have in your home.

A hemorrhoid is a painfully engorged blood vessel around the anus and rectal cavity that can be caused by a number of factors, including diet, a lack of exercise, poor hygiene and smoking. You can lessen the likelihood you will suffer from hemorrhoids by being careful in those areas. Drinking a dose of psyllium husk or some other dietary fiber mixed in with a warm beverage can go a long way towards prevention as well.

If you already are suffering from hemorrhoids, though, you want relief from the pain and itching, not just to prevent future outbreaks. Many natural cures are entirely safe and natural and may have other health benefits besides. Witch Hazel, either in liquid or ointment form, can be used as a topical treatment for hemorrhoids. Butchers Broom is one the oldest natural treatments. It is usually consumed as a tea and promotes healthy circulation in the whole body. Chamomile tea is also an old hemorrhoid treatment that also can help with conditions like varicose veins.

While it’s always good to see a doctor if the condition gets very serious, many people like to try these natural treatments before turning to expensive medical procedures and chemical medicines.
