Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a distention of the veins around the anus. In mild cases, they are seldom painful, but can develop fissures and bleeding, which can cause pain. In severe cases, they can require surgery.
Treatment Plan for Hemorrhoids
Commonly recommended herbs include anti-inflammatories, venous tonics, and astringent herbs. A high-fiber diet, in combination with exercise, and stool-softening remedies are all that is required in some cases.
