As many of you who have ever had hemorrhoids you know all you want is some comfort from the itching and burning. There are many prescription and over the counter relief products you can purchase and use for treatment (read more: http://natadviser.com/essential-oils-for-hemorrhoids/). However, some of these either only work for a short period, have side effects, and don’t treat the cause or help to prevent them for in the future. There are some natural remedies that not only work they work greatly and have effects that help to prevent future breakouts.
I am talking about the use of Essential Oils that are derived from natural plants and herbs and won’t break the bank to use. The best part of using this treatment method is that they work better than store bought products and are safer to use. These oils have medicinal properties that can help with both acute issues they also help those who may have longer term issues.
Many Essential Oils can be used to make the inflammation from hemorrhoids decrease in a shorter time frame they also relieve the itching and burning very rapidly. A huge benefit that comes from the usage of these oils is that they improve the blood flow in the areas where they are being applied. They heal the hemorrhoids and to stop any bleeding while at the same time they increase the quality and strength of blood vessels to prevent damage that can cause the same issues again down the road.
These oils can be used alone for treatment or in a mixture to ensure the best treatment that is suitable for your specific needs. Now some of these oils can be applied directly while others my need to be diluted with a base or carrier oil. Here are the most commonly used base oils: olive oil, sesame oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and jojoba or castor oil.
