Since hemorrhoids is a fairly common disease of our time, modern medicine has achieved good success in its treatment. However, quite often it happens that people, embarrassed by such a problem to see a doctor, resort to alternative medicine. One of such folk methods is based on the use of aloe vera for hemorrhoids .
Causes of hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids have been known for many millennia. Varicose veins of the rectum and anus are called this medical term. There are several reasons that can lead to a similar disease:
- heavy physical labor;
- genetic inheritance;
- birth complication;
- irresponsible attitude to healthy eating;
- sedentary lifestyle.
Hemorrhoids are very painful, which leads to many inconveniences and a deterioration in the quality of life. But, according to statistics, only one out of four patients seeks medical help for help. Many are trying to cure an unexpected painful problem with unconventional methods. Nearly everyone in the house on the windowsill must have a flowerpot with aloe. With hemorrhoids, this unique medicinal plant plays an important role. So we’ll try to figure out its healing qualities if such a disease does appear.
Aloe with hemorrhoids
Consider one of the methods of curing an unpleasant rectal disease at home. Aloe is not only an affordable plant . In traditional medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids, it occupies one of the leading places. It is very effective in restoring the immune system, namely:
- improves metabolic processes;
- promotes rapid tissue repair;
- does not allow the development of pathogenic microflora;
- It has an antibacterial effect and so on.
In addition, it is important to know what nutrients are found in aloe, and there are a lot of them:
- minerals;
- vitamins E, A, C, B;
- essential oils;
- enzymes;
- pitches and another.
As a result of the observations, it was noted that hemorrhoids with the use of aloe heal quite quickly. At the same time, the discomfort and pain inherent in this disease are significantly reduced. Aloe is a plant so harmless that it is used even in the treatment of hemorrhoids in children.
Proper Use of Aloe
Aloe vera treatment includes two main methods:
- Oral, in which the plant gives a laxative effect. This is a very important method, since with it the probability of injury to the rectum becomes minimal. To do this, squeeze the juice from freshly cut aloe leaves and take one teaspoon about 10-20 minutes before eating.
- External - involves the use of aloe with hemorrhoids in the form of decoctions and lotions. Candles and tampons are also effective, which not only help get rid of pain, but also eliminate the formed swelling.
How to make a decoction of aloe leaves
Aloe in folk medicine is often used as a decoction. The plant for treatment is usually taken already reached 3-5 years. To prepare the broth, you need to take 4-5 meaty leaves, wash them well and add water. For such a quantity of leaves, 0.5 liters of water is enough. The capacity must be put in a water bath and heated for about 15-20 minutes. The resulting broth must be cooled and filtered. Aloe leaves for hemorrhoids in the form of a decoction are used, as a rule:
- for sedentary baths;
- for compresses;
- for microclyster;
- for lotions.
For these same procedures, an infusion of aloe leaves is also used. It makes cooking easier. The leaves need to be chopped, pour boiling water and let stand for 20-25 minutes. It is advisable to use the infusion immediately, for the next use it is better to cook fresh.
Compresses and lotions
Treatment of aloe hemorrhoids with compresses and lotions is effective for external hemorrhoids. There are several ways. Let's consider some of them:
- Mix a spoonful of agave juice with a small amount of sea buckthorn oil. Cotton swabs, impregnated with the obtained composition, apply to the anus. Such a lotion can be done two to three times a day.
- Fold a bandage or gauze in several layers and thoroughly moisten them with juice or aloe broth. Then put gauze on the outer nodes and cover with a film. Such a compress can be left overnight.
- Pound the pulp of aloe leaves through a sieve and mix it in equal amounts with honey and butter. Put the resulting mass on gauze and, as in the previous example, attach it to the nodes.
It is important to keep in mind that both juice and pulp of the agave must be prepared for one use and not left for later, since over time all this will lose its healing properties.
Candles and swabs with aloe
With an exacerbation of internal hemorrhoidal nodes, suppositories and aloe swabs are more effective for their treatment. Cooking them is easy. Here are some ways:
- Well washed and peeled from the thorns, the meaty leaf of the agave should be cut lengthwise and turned upside down with the pulp. The candle is ready. It is only necessary to give it a convenient shape and apply.
- From a convenient material, such as foil or thick paper, make molds that resemble a regular rectal candle in size. Pour freshly pressed aloe juice mixed with pulp into them and send to the freezer. The candles are ready. You can mix aloe juice with natural liquid honey in a proportion of one and one and pour such a composition into molds. Candles from frozen aloe juice retain their beneficial properties longer.
- You can use tampons to treat hemorrhoids. To do this, take a tightly rolled piece of cotton wool or gauze and moisten in aloe juice.
Candles and tampons contribute to the healing of cracks in the anus, the regeneration of the rectal mucosa, and affect pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms.
Aloe honey for hemorrhoids
From the above it becomes clear that in the manufacture of candles and lotions from aloe, the main active ingredient is recommended to add liquid honey. Natural honey with hemorrhoids also has a therapeutic effect, namely:
- anti-inflammatory;
- painkiller;
- disinfectant.
That is, thanks to the healing properties of honey, the healing effect of aloe is enhanced. You just need to keep in mind that honey will only help if it is natural and of high quality. A product purchased in a store is unlikely to be beneficial. You can apply honey to hemorrhoid cones without aloe. Even with hemorrhoids, it is recommended to eat honey in its pure form, dissolving it. But you do not need to add to tea or water, since it can lose part of its beneficial properties.
The effectiveness of the treatment of hemorrhoids at home
As practice shows, in the case of such an uncomfortable disease that we are considering, people do not really want to go to the hospital. The use of aloe in folk medicine for inflammation of the rectum, of course, is not a panacea for an acquired disease, but there are many examples of cures with its help at home. Baths, lotions, suppositories from aloe with hemorrhoids are called reviews quite effective . Here are some examples of comments:
- as a result of applying whole sheets of agave peeled from the skin to the cones, the inflammation on the third day noticeably decreased, and after a week the cones completely disappeared;
- after the occurrence of hemorrhoids after childbirth as a result of the use of sedentary baths (you can also add chamomile broth in the baths) and lotions with aloe for five days, the inflammation subsided;
- during periodic exacerbations of hemorrhoids, suppositories from the pulp of aloe and honey perfectly helped in eliminating the inflammatory process.
We have called several universal and effective methods of treating hemorrhoids with aloe. Positive reviews about such treatment speak, of course, only in favor of traditional medicine. But official medicine in this case should never be discounted.
Conclusion
You will not wish anyone pain in hemorrhoids, when it is impossible not only to work normally, but also to walk uncomfortably, and sometimes it will not work out to sleep too. It is very important to timely treat such a disease as varicose veins of the rectum and anus. The help of aloe, honey and other folk remedies can and should even be addressed primarily for the purpose of preventing the disease, as well as to eliminate inflammation in acute forms and the subsequent achievement of remission. However, there may be contraindications to the use of aloe, for example, such as:
- individual intolerance;
- pregnancy;
- allergic reactions.
Therefore, in such cases, with exacerbation of hemorrhoids, it is better not to use alternative methods, but to consult a specialized doctor who will offer you appropriate and effective treatment.
