As a practitioner of Traditional , I have had great results with piles and my patients. There are herbal ointments from China that are wonderful (and yes, some may not have the ingredients listed, for it is not a federal requirement to do so. You often will see ingredients listed either by the herb's botanical name or it's Pin Yin name, as a courtesy as well as a better opportunity to allow for these herbs and herbal formulas to be sold in the United States. Believe it or not, most of the quality herbal manufacturers are more than willing to list ingredients in order to standardize their products like the United States.) divides hemorrhoids into 3 stages: 1st stage- small hemorrhoids which do not go protrude to the exterior, fresh bleeding upon defecation. 2nd stage- protrusion of tissues from the anus with bleeding, although the tissue retracts into the sphincter within a short period of time. 3rd stage- bleeding with large protruding hemorrhoids that require physical pushing to place back into the interior of the anus. They may exit the body with coughing, sneezing. laughing, when fatigued, or when standing for a long period of time. Prevention - keep stool soft. Include plenty of water, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber in you daily diet. - regular exercise promotes smooth bowel movements. - try to breath through your bowel movements (do not hold your breath), DO NOT STRAIN. Take your time, relax and it doesn't hurt to enjoy it. - try to not sit or stand for prolonged durations too often. Take short walks, stretch, and contract your mid-section to get the blood flowing through that area. - keep the anal area clean, although one should be gentle with cleansing. Try to use chemical free soaps such as pure olive oil soaps, or baby wipes. - squat during defecation, the toilet seat may make it more difficult to pass the feces by compacting the anal canal. Try platforms on either side of the toilet to raise yourself up if your knees are higher than you buttock when sitting. - anal exercises, tighten and hold sphincter/anal muscles while contracting the abdomen, do not hold your breath, contract and repeat as often as possible. - keep emotions smooth flowing, do not let them run your life! Anger in particular can aggravate hemorrhoids. Things to try at home first - take warm baths. They are soothing and cleansing, especially after you have a bowel movement. Although sometimes too much bathing may worsen anal itching (pruritis ani). - wear cotton underwear and loose fitting clothes to decrease moisture in the area. - apply a cold compress to the area for 10 minutes, 4 times per day. - applying vitamin E oil or virgin olive oil may help with the pain of passage of the stools. - apply an herbal compress of Dandelion (Pu Gong Ying), or Jiu Hua Gao, or Wu Bei Zi San to the area for 10 minutes, 4 times per day. - external wash or steam with sea salt water or Fu Feng Jing Xi Ji, Ku Shen, Pu Gong Ying, Huang Bai. - add psyllium husks to the diet daily to aid bowel movements (the husk of the seed `Che Qian Zi') or use wheat bran. Western Herbal Treatment - Bovine Cartilage- taken via rectal route to soften stools, 2.2 grams in the form of a 2% suppository administered at least 3 times daily. - Butcher's broom- make a decoction and apply topically (wash or compress) to relieve itching and burning - Camphor- a solution of 0.1-3% Camphor can be applied topically (wash or compress) 3-4 times daily. - Diosmin- (citrus bioflavinoid) 1350mg plus Hesperidin 150mg twice daily for 4 days followed by Diosmin 900mg and Hesperidin 100mg twice daily for 3 days. Also for prevention of relapse, take Diosmin 450mg plus Hesperidin 50mg twice daily for 3 months. - Hesperidin- (citrus bioflavinoid) used together with Diosmin. - Peru Balsam- preparations of 5-20% can be used for daily application. If being used over large areas of the body it is advised to keep the solution under 10%. - Poplar- 5 grams of the dried buds per day made into a topical application daily. - Sweet clover- wrap a handful of flowers in linen, thoroughly soak in hot water, and place on the affected area 3-4 times per day. - Witch hazel- apply compress to the affected area 3-4 times per day. Liquid preparations are available at any drug store. I hope this helps. Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hello Chandramouli, A plain water colonic is less painful for me until the bulge receeds. I keep the area very clean. Aloe Gel, found at any drugstore, works great for the discomfort and healing. Sending you love and light...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Try Ayurvedic preperations: Arshoghani Vati Arshkuthar Ras. Ramdev (Divya herbal preperation) too has a herbal preperation for piles and people find it useful. Changing food habits is important. Foods to be avoided: white bread, or anything made from enriched refined flour, coffee, chicken, ginger, cocoa. Start your day with an apple or prune juice. Vegetables like spinach will help. Mix Triphla and Isabgol in equal proportions, take a tea spoonful with lukewarm water before going to bed. Constipation will make things worse. --- On Mon, 1/5/09, Chandramouli <balaisfree wrote: Chandramouli <balaisfree Piles pain Monday, January 5, 2009, 2:52 AM Can my friends here help me with an alterantive answer for piles? chandramouli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
