Hemorrhoids Remedies

Hemorrhoids burn and itch and can be quite painful.  With some very simple home remedies from your kitchen, you can stop the burn and itch, and get back on track with your everyday life…Plain white yogurt applied with a cotton ball to the hemorrhoids will help soothe the burning.  Yogurt has live cultures that will kill the bacteria that is causing the itching and burning feeling you have.

If you are in too much pain to go out, try dabbing a little peanut butter to the infected area.  The oils in the peanut butter provides almost instant relief. Just make sure you don’t use the crunchy peanut butter.

Noxzema will help stop the burning of hemorrhoids.

Orojel is great for a toothache, and it also makes a great anti-itch ointment.  Apply the Orojel directly on your hemorrhoids.  It will numb the area and shrink the hemorrhoid.

After you shower or bath, dry yourself well and sprinkle some baby powder to the infected area.  This helps to prevent irritation by reducing friction.  This also a good trick to use after you’ve had a bowel movement.  Wipe the area well (but be gentle) and then powder your bum with the baby powder.

Unscented baby wipes are wonderful to use after going to the bathroom to clean the area.  The baby wipes are mild enough that they don’t aggravate the hemorrhoids.  And the coolness will help ease the burn.
