Collection: Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are the swelling of veins either inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or on the skin surrounding the anus (external hemorrhoids). These are also referred to as “piles”. This is a common condition that around 75% of adults will deal with at various points in their lives.

There are a handful of causes, but straining the pelvic muscles is a primary cause. This can happen while straining during a bowel movement, or by lifting heavy objects or weights. Constipation, and the straining it can cause, can result in a hemorrhoid flare up.

Itchiness is a primary symptom of hemorrhoids. This can make any day-to-day activity, especially on the job or away from home, quite challenging due to the discomfort and distraction. They can also be painful; making sitting down very uncomfortable. Minor bleeding may also occur.

Homeopathics for hemorrhoids are available from Olloïs. Hamamelis-Virginiana-30c is 100% natural remedy that can improve circulation through the affected veins; helping to relieve the itchy discomfort and accelerate the healing process.
