Can you Get Rid of Hemorrhoids With Drugstore Medication?

Can you Get Rid of Hemorrhoids With Drugstore Medication?

There are many drugstore and alternative Internet products

for treating hemorrhoids. Most of these products are not

made to cure or eliminate hemorrhoids but to give you

temporary relief of itching, pain, swelling or bleeding. I

don’t recommend using any type of drugstore product that is not

natural for attempting to get rid of hemorrhoids.

If a hemorrhoid product contains petrochemicals, additives, coloring, dyes, or other chemicals, which enhance its appearance and feel, don’t use them. Most, if not all, of these chemicals will be absorbed into your body where your organs of elimination will have to deal with eliminating them. In addition they may irritate your hemorrhoids making it more hard for you to heal them.

Look at the mark before you buy a hemorrhoid product. Check to see what the active ingredient is and how many different additives they have. Avoid those that have a lot of additives or dyes.

All products whether drugs, drugstore medications, or

natural formulations use chemicals, substances, oils, and

herbs that have the following properties:

” Anesthetics – suppresses pain and gives relief…any name with the suffix “caine” like tetracaine

” Analgesics – suppresses and give pain relief – some of them are Anacin, Tylenol with Codeine, OxyContin, Darvocet, Ultracet

” Vasoconstrictors – helps to narrow or constrict hemorrhoidal veins…any name with the suffix “rine” like phenylephrine

” Lubricants – provide lubrication in the colon to relieve constipation – mineral oil, flax seed oil, castor, oil olive oil

” Astringents – help to tighten tissue, which have been pushed out by hemorrhoid action – zinc oxide, witch hazel, calamine

” Keratolytics – help to remove excess hemorrhoidal tissue. They are compounds of sulfur and salicylic acid

Many of the drugstore medications have anesthetics. They

can aggravate and irritate the hemorrhoids you’re trying to

get rid of. If you are using one of these drugstore

medications, consider using a more natural remedy.

In 1975 Carl I. Flath, wrote a book called The Miracle

Nutrient – How Dietary Fiber Can Save Your Life. In

his book he talks about the effectiveness of drugstore

suppositories,

“Suppositories quickly work their way up in the

rectum beyond the location of most internal

hemorrhoids, and so are of limited value in

reducing local pain. As antiseptics they are

essentially worthless, since the surface areas

they are supposed to protect are under

constant exposure to new bacteria….

Anesthetic agents do offer temporary relief from local

irritations and pain… Neither the suppositories nor the

ointments, but, do anything whatever to right the

basic cause of hemorrhoids-constipation.”

You can get temporary relief for your hemorrhoid condition using drugstore products, but in some cases these products can cause more irritation and discomfort. It is always best to try natural remedies before you go into drugstore products.

You will find a variety of natural remedies that work well on hemorrhoids. But as with many illnesses and body imbalances, natural remedies some times take a small longer to take effect, but not always. You can find a variety of natural remedies to help you get rid of hemorrhoids on the internet or you can look for some of my other articles on hemorrhoids.
