Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I just wanted to give an update on my friend's condition. I had not spoken to him since posting my request for suggestions to reduce his pain from the hemorrhoids. I finally spoke to him this morning and he mentioned how good he was feeling. Since he nor his wife were really into herbal remedies to the extent that this group is, they elected to use the WITCH HAZEL. It made a world of difference for him. I could not believe how great he sounded over the telephone. I thought you all would appreciate the feedback in case you found yourself or someone you know in a similar situation. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated. I would also like to send a special thank you out to a lurker on this group, a woman who emailed me privately with her suggestion. Since I accidentally deleted the email, I'm recalling from memory. I believe you were the first to suggest the witch hazel, then someone else suggested using it as a " hemorrhoid wipe " .

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 that is great! i can sympathize with a hemorrhoid sufferer. i am going to tell you what i used back in 1973 that my sister in law advised and though it sounds terrible it isn't. it is quite releaving and any time i seem to have a slight recurrance which is very seldom.. only when i have to lift or move something that is quite heavy like a piano or water bed... .... anyway you won't believe it but i apply a bit of vicks salve which is quite cooling and gives immediate relief. i know...don't knock it til you use it. i'll tell you something really funny about it though.. my father in law was getting along in age and used ben guay a lot and when one of his sons ask about help with hemorrhoids dad got mixed up and told him ben guay instead of vicks... he tried it and about went through the roof so i heard!!!!!!!! hehehehehe .. not funny...heheheh!!! love.... granny lee herbal remedies , " nizoral2 " <Nizoral2> wrote: > I just wanted to give an update on my friend's condition.
