Pregnancy and hemorrhoids

[Guest guest]

Hey folks- a client of mine who just gave birth a few months ago has come

down with hemorrhoids. I recommended apple cider vinegar and Butchers Broom,

which both worked for awhile. I am a mental health counselor with a little

knowledge of herbs and I don't know what to recommend for her next. She is more

concerned about the bright red streaking of the blood and not the pain {reports

is minor}.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

A very simple and cost effective solution is a poultice made of

plantain leaves, or a sitz bath made with plantain and perhaps

calendula. Plantain is a common garden " weed " with amazing healing

powers, namely for topical issues such as this one. It helps to reduce

swelling and redness. Calendula is used similarly, and can be bought

in cream form also. A poultice, in case you don't know already, is

just mashed up herb placed directly on the affected area. A sitz bath

is like a brewed tea (herb infusion, rather) that you sit in. Place

1oz herb in 1qt mason jar, add boiling water to fill, top with lid and

let steep for 4 hours or longer. Strain and use. A sitz bath may

require several quarts of infusion. Just warm it up, place it in a pan

that she may sit in, and stay there as long as is bearable. It works

wonders!
