Piles, or haemorrhoids, are a debilitating and painful yet very common ailment. Today’s prevalence of unhealthy processed food, too little fibre in the diet, too little exercise and drinking too little water can all cause havoc on the digestive system and may lead to piles. Pregnancy is also often a culprit of piles and many home remedies for piles are aimed at pregnant women. Piles are swollen veins around the anal canal that are incredibly painful when passing stools as well as itchy and uncomfortable. Thankfully there are home remedies for piles available to treat and manage piles successfully. We have listed a few home remedies for piles below:
Home Remedies for Piles
1. Soaking in an Epsom Salts bath
Soaking yourself in a warm bath with ½ cup of Epsom salts can provide instant relief as the haemorrhoids shrink, tighten up and constrict. Make sure that the water is not too hot and pat dry the affected area. Regularly soaking in a warm Epsom Salts bath is one of the most effective home remedies for piles.
2. A Cold Compress
Effective home remedies for piles include making a cold compress by wrapping ice in a clean cloth and applying directly to the haemorrhoids several times a day. This will relieve itching and constrict blood vessels in order to reduce pain and inflammation in the area.
3. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera can provide excellent relief from piles and is one of the many great home remedies for piles. Apply the Aloe Vera gel that is extracted from the leaves to external piles. Do not apply this internally however. Aloe Vera is a great natural plant that can also be found in cream and gel format.
