Even if you are suffering from severe piles problem you can easily improve your day to day life by following some simple home treatments for hemorrhoids.
You can follow this treatment along with any other medicines you may be taking for this problem.
Some of the home remedies can be continued even after you cure hemorrhoids completely.
Here are some tips: Itching, pain and swelling is a big problem with piles.
You can get some relief and comfort by sitting in a warm bath tub several times a day.
You may sit in the tub for 15-20 minutes.
This technique can also be used after you pass stools to provide some soothing.
After sitting in the warm water tub you can go for application of an ice pack for the rectum area.
This will help in improving blood circulation to the area and also heal the wound much faster.
This combination of warm and cold home treatment for hemorrhoids can really speed up the cure process.
You should always keep the rectum clean by washing with plain water and pat dry after the wash.
Don't use any soap for this purpose.
If you use a tissue then go for the soft moistened tissues instead of using the dry paper.
To get some soothing effect and relief from swelling you can try applying witch hazel liquid astringent.
This works really well for many people.
Use a cotton ball to apply the liquid to the affected area two times a day.
These external measures alone won't work in isolation.
You will have to make dietary changes also.
Include lots of fruits, green vegetables, salads, sprouts, whole grain items in your diet.
These items will absorb a lot of water because of high fiber content.
And this will ultimately help in having soft stools.
Following the above home treatments for hemorrhoids may only improve your day to day life but may not provide a permanent solution.
For a permanent cure you will require more comprehensive natural treatment.
