Another odd thing about the treatment offered is that the doctor(?) first offered tea treatment, and when I asked the price, he said 'Thirty five pounds [sterling] a week.' When I looked worried about this, he ventured, 'Well I have to mix up the herbs.' Given that one third of the population admit to piles, it seems surprising that some tea as prepared as the ointment was not to hand(!?). I also picked up a second hand book about Chinese folk herbal remedies today, which quotes a Chinese saying to the effect that in fact 'Nine out of ten people suffer from piles,' and berates the lack of simplicity in 'orthodox'(!) Chinese medicine. Curiouser and curiouser! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called 'Musk Hemorroids Ointment' and is manufactured by Wuhan Mayinglong Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd (leaflet also says 'OTC'; red, white & yellow packaging). I know that that seems to answer my own question, in part, but I can't believe that e.g., the instant cooling sensation is simply down to musk extract(?). Sorry about the delay in replying - I have been moving home (another possible solution to my problem, in the long term).
