By Andrew Hoffmann


Many people suffer from hemorrhoids. In many cases, hemorrhoids flare up for a few days and then clear up on their own. Medical care may be needed in extreme cases. If hemorrhoids are something that you are afflicted with, the following treatments can help you control this problem.

Acupuncture is a good hemorrhoid treatment that works. This is a traditional Chinese method of healing using needles, but it has recently gotten quite popular throughout the world. Acupuncture treats the body holistically by working on energy centers that run through the body. Hemorrhoids are a type of inflammation and acupuncture is many times good for decreasing this problem very fast. If you want to get rid of your hemorrhoids with this method, you must find a person in your area that practices it and is qualified. Reflexology is an easy healing system that utilizes the same concepts as acupuncture, but you use your fingers instead of needles to press on the acupuncture points. This, too, can be very helpful as a hemorrhoids treatment.

A simple, completely natural hemorrhoids treatment is garlic. Powerful healing and anti-inflammatory properties can be found in garlic. There are many ways you can take garlic. Food is an obvious way to eat it, but it's often easier to take garlic capsules. You don't have to worry about garlic breath and they are far more concentrated. Another option is applying the garlic externally to hemorrhoids in order to reduce swelling and pain. You can create a simple garlic compress with a teaspoon of crushed garlic on square gauze. Apply this compress to the anal area for about ten to fifteen minutes to destroy harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation.

It's also very important to exercise regularly when treating hemorrhoids. A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to hemorrhoids and well as other health problems. In fact, hemorrhoids can be directly caused by sitting in a chair for too many hours at a time. The nature of many jobs, unfortunately, means that many people cannot avoid this. No matter what kind of job you have, however, you can begin a regular exercise program. Until your hemorrhoids clear up, however, you should avoid straining yourself as with lifting heavy weights as this can aggravate your condition. A very beneficial treatment for hemorrhoids is moderate exercise.

Until you figure out the best treatment for your hemorrhoids, you may have to try several different options. If you try various treatments and also pay attention to your diet and make sure you get regular exercise, you should be able to clear up your hemorrhoids. These tips should help you get rid of your hemorrhoids and make it easier for you to enjoy your life without worrying about this obnoxious condition.
