Hemorrhoids can be treated quickly and effectively with surgery; however there have been cases where several types of herbs have been able to treat the condition just as effectively. This more natural way may be slightly slower than the surgical option, however there are fewer risks.
The chestnut (castanea sativa) is a common medicinal herb what can easily be recognised by its spiked leaves and characteristic fruit that is enveloped in a thorny outer shell. Blooming around May, its fruit ripens in fall. They can then be collected once they have fallen out of the tree. Alternatively you can use a stick to dislodge low hanging fruits. There are many active compounds in them that can be used to help treat or prevent hemorrhoids, including saponins, tannins, flavones, glycosides, phytosterols and various vitamins. An effective way of treating the condition is by making tincture, which is made from large amounts of dried flowers and leaves from the chestnut tree that are left in ethanol for a specific amount of time. Compresses made using the fruits of the chestnut tree have in the past been used to combat hemorrhoids; however more modern creams and capsules have replaced the traditional methods.
The common walnut (juglans regia) is tree that can be widely found in many parts of the world. Growing up to 20 meters tall, its crown is wide with smooth leaves. The fruits of the walnut, while at first green, turn black over time and the walnut within eventually falls out of its shell. The leaves contain the majority of the active substances, and they can usually be picked during June when the weather is warm and dry. It is strongly recommended that he leaves be completely dried out as soon as possible. The active ingredients include tannins, essential oil, juglone and flavonoids. While treating many types of inflammations including mucous membranes, mouth, gums, larynx, eyes and even intestines, it is also know that baths prepared using walnut leaves and bark are a useful method of treating hemorrhoids. Also a special tea can be brewed using the leaves: Start by adding two teaspoons of finely chopped walnut leaves to ¼ litre of cold water. Bring it to the boil and leave for 5 minutes then strain and drink. This can help with digestion and make bowel movements easier.
Finally poplar (populous nigra) is a midsized deciduous tree found in Europe and parts of Africa and Asia. With a trunk up to 1.5 meters wide and standing up to 30 meters tall, their leaf buds contain many medicinal properties. The leaves, which can be collected during spring, contain most of the active compounds, and the buds are used primarily for making various types of grease and cream. The active compounds include tannins, essential oil, resins, manitol and glycosides. Medications containing poplar are renowned for their disinfectant qualities and ability to contract mucous membrane tissue and hemorrhoids can be cleaned and treated using the grease.
