Piles Relief - Natural Treatments For Piles

There are literally millions of people around the globe who suffer with the condition known as piles or hemorrhoids. Piles are caused when the wall of the bowel weakens allowing a vein to break through and is very similar to how a hernia forms, this vein then becomes inflamed resulting in pain, itchiness and general discomfort, quite often these blood vessels will begin to bleed and it is when this happens that people start to look for types of piles relief.

There are many reasons why the bowel wall becomes weakened, one of the most common is the straining of trying to empty a bowel when constipated. This straining causes extreme pressure on the walls of the bowel and also to the veins in that area which often results in piles.

There are fundamentally two specific types of piles, internal and external. External piles are generally the more painful of the two but bleed less frequently than internal piles. Internal piles are usually more uncomfortable than they are painful, although the pain can be quite unbearable during a bowel movement, they are however, far more likely to bleed than external piles which is often the first symptom of an internal pile that is noticed and this is generally when wiping after an evacuation.

These days, many people who have piles choose to use natural remedies, often utilizing common and readily available herbs and fruits. Two such popular remedies involve the use of dried figs and the seeds of the mango, which are both effective at stopping constipation, the fruit of the blackberry is another favorite for those suffering with piles that are bleeding.

Dried Figs: Wash the dried figs thoroughly and then soak them in water overnight, they should then be taken, along with the water they were soaked in, once in the morning and again in the evening.

Mango Seeds: The process of using mango seeds as a piles treatment is a little longer as they will need to be dried out thoroughly and then crushed into a powder. Mango seed powder can be taken as and when piles flare up but only twice a day and a single dose should be no more than two grams, many people find an easier and more pleasant way to take this powder is to mix it with honey.

Blackberry Fruit: The fruit of the blackberry will help stop your piles from bleeding and should be looked upon as a long-term strategy rather than a short-term cure as they need to be eaten throughout the season of the fruit which is normally between two and three months, by doing so bleeding piles should be prevented from returning. To use this remedy simply eat the blackberry fruit each morning with salt.

In general, most natural piles cures work by helping to soften stools and thereby stopping any periods of constipation. No constipation means that there is not any unnecessary pressure in the areas of the anus where piles are common, this will also help in shrinking existing piles to the point where they contract fully.
