Hemorrhoids :: My Home /natural Treatment ...

 I've made progress with my stage 3-4 internal hemorrhoid, though I thought I never would.  Three months ago I went to two doctors who had a look, and said I needed serious surgery--rubber-band ligation would not work, and neither would THD. Since my insurance only covers work done in California (I am living in Michigan temporarily), I ruled out the $11,000 procedure. 

My life was pretty much wrecked by the grape-sized hem that had to be pushed back into my anus pretty much constantly, and which made walking and standing unbearable.

From a variety of sources, here is the routine I've put together which has helped:

1. Every morning I take a stool softener, 500 mg. of magnesium, and a mineral supplement with copper and zinc. Also 2 big fish oil capsules every morning, and 2 more at night.

2. I can't eat foods that irritate my hem, so I don't: chocolate, nuts, coffee especially.  And I avoid wheat products most of the time.

3. I do all the usual dietary things to avoid constipation: oatmeal, prunes, flax seed, green vegetables, fruit, yogurt, etc. (but I'd already been doing these things for years with no help for the hemorrhoid).

4.  I put turmeric in something every day: salad dressing usually, but also in soups.

5. Stopped wearing anything tight around my waist.

6.  This one's weird, but essential:  I began talking nicely to my anus. However you do it, you have to start respecting this organ and stop taking it for granted.

7. Trying (always trying) to reduce stress, and get more sleep.  This is nearly impossible in my life right now, but any small improvement helps.

8. A hot bath in the morning, and another hot bath at night.

After about 2 1/2 months of doing all this, the hemorrhoid has shrunk about 75%, and I don't have to push it in anymore, except rarely. I did use the crushed aspirin technique a lot before, but don't need to now. I can't emphasize enough how severe my case was, and how the quality of my life had been reduced to zero.  I'd tried all the creams and preparations (prescription and nonprescription) and all of them are a complete waste of money.
