Ashamed of what others may say, comment or think, most people would rather be quiet than admit they have hemorrhoids. For that reason, a home made treatment is their choice for a hemorrhoid remedy. Popular home remedies give you the instant release from aches and pains. It also allows you to treat yourself or get treated at the privacy of your own home. With home made recipes, you avoid having to be embarrassed when being treated by strangers. Here are a few homemade tips:

Wishy-washy No-No

When washing your anal region, it is best to do so with gentleness and care. This is to avoid more redness that can happen if done with force. Wash thoroughly but tenderly, though. It is imperative to clean that area with moistened tissue wipes as not to scratch the surface or cause further irritation. Pat dry with clean toilet paper and give your piles relief.

Have a break, have a Sitz Bath.

Try to have a home made sitz bath by taking a tub or container with 4 inches of warm water. Avoid using freshly boiled water. Carefully lower yourself onto the warm water and stay there for about 15-20 minutes. This can be relaxing for your anal muscles and relieve most of the itchiness you feel from your hemorrhoids.

The Cream Team

The use of petroleum jelly as an effective moisturizer is proven. Put some of this on a cotton swab and smooth over on your rectal area to help with the swelling and pain. Another cream to consider is the zinc oxide paste. These are the affordable and easy to find under hemorrhoid remedies.

The Aloe Benefit

Aloe Vera is one of the leading plants in soothing, moisturizing and healing qualities. Find an aloe vera gel to use and massage over your bottom to receive piles relief. This will help in the inflammation of the skin around the hemorrhoid and downsize the swelling too.

Honey-Onion Duo

Honey and onion might not seem to go as well as bread and butter but this combination has a shrinking effect on hemorrhoids. Honey has anti-fungal features and onion has soothing abilities. Create your hemorrhoid remedy by mashing a bulb of onion with a tablespoon of honey. Dab the oily and sticky mixture on your hemorrhoids after cleaning the area.

A lil’ bit of Everything

For all good reason, why not mix them all up? Gather up some aloe vera, witch hazel, petroleum jelly, zinc oxide paste, corn starch and shea butter to blend and whip up a creamy solution that you can place on your hemorrhoids. If shea butter is not available, cocoa butter will also do. Spruce up with a bit of Vaseline before and after use.
