    If there is any plus side to having hemorrhoids, it is that there are a host of effective options to relieve pain, irritation, itching, and other annoying symptoms. Even better, most people respond very well to home therapies and do not need any further medical intervention. Caring for the body without costly drugs or artificial products is important to many people, and fortunately, there are great remedies for swollen, inflamed, or painful veins that are simple, inexpensive, and chemical-free.

    There is really not a cure for this condition, per se, but there is much you can do to relieve irritation and to keep them from recurring. The goal is to address the symptoms. Here are several ways you can do with:

    Witch hazel. This liquid is easily found in drug stores, and you can also find ointments, creams, and medicated pads that contain the astringent. Witch hazel is applied topically and can help relieve itching, swelling, and pain. Soak a cotton pad with witch hazel and apply it to the affected area.

    Fiber. This can help both prevent the condition and relieve its symptoms. Fiber helps maintain regular stools and can soften them as well. Studies have shown that those with this condition found relief from discomfort, pain, and itching simply by adding more fiber to their diets.

    Bioflavonoids. These come from citrus fruits and some plants and work to strengthen blood vessel walls. You may find relief from pain, discomfort, inflammation, and anal discharge. There are different types of bioflavonoids, and some can interact with prescription medication. Women taking tamoxifen for breast cancer, for example, shouldn’t take the flavonoid tangeretin. It is a good idea to talk to your doctor first.

    Aloe vera. This is an extract from the aloe plant and is helpful in reducing itching and burning. Apply topically for symptom relief.

    Chamomile. This common ingredient in tea can be used as a topical remedy. Soak a cotton pad or ball with chamomile and apply to the affected area to relieve burning, itching, and discomfort.

    Ice. Simply applying an ice pack will relieve many symptoms. Wrap the ice pack in a hand towel first.

    Bathe several times a day. This can help keep the area clean and reduce discomfort. Baths and showers are effective, as are sitz baths. These are basins that fit over the toilet seat. Fill with water and relax for 15 – 20 minutes.

    The vast majority of people find natural hemorrhoid treatment options to be effective and more than sufficient to care for their symptoms.
