* [[Grape seed extract]] and grapes : Grapes improve the venous blood circulation in the portal system, which receives the bulk of the blood from the hemorrhoidal area. A grape treatment provides good results during acute hemorrhoidal attacks.
* [[tannins]] are used medicinally as anti-[[diarrhea]] and anti-hemorrhoid compounds.
* essential oils for hemorrhoids-treatment : lavender oil, tea tree oil, cypress oil, peppermint oil, geranium cypress oil, [[camphor]] oil.
* [[Aloe Vera]] : The very same anti-inflammatory constituents that reduce blistering and inflammation in burns also help reduce the irritation of hemorrhoids. Break off a piece of the aloe vera leaf and apply only the clear gel to the hemorrhoids.
* A six-inch wooden step: If you have one of those little six-inch stepstools around that Auntie Grizelda uses to reach the cooking sherry, steal it from her and place it in front of the toilet. Put your feet on the step when sitting on the toilet and put your elbows on your knees. This makes for easier elimination. You don’t have to push so hard. That puts less stress on your hemorrhoids and lessens the chance of making more.
*Olive oil: Down, Popeye. Apply directly to Hemorrhoids with a cotton swab.
*Raw potatoes: Grate potato and apply directly. We got this one from Eastern Europe, where they use potatoes for pretty much everything. Worth a try.
*Mentholated rub: Apply directly. Bravely.
*Witch Hazel: The most ancient and trusted chemical hemorrhoid treatment. Apply to area 2-3 times per day. Its astringent qualities make it the primary ingredient in many over-the-counter treatments.
*Zinc oxide: Good hemorrhoid treatment for pain; works similarly to how it treats diaper rash. You’ll smell like zinc, but really, do you care?
