Hemorrhoids, a sagging tangle of small swollen blood vessels that cause irritating itching and burning sensations. Here is a herbal mixture for tea for hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are saggy tangles of small swollen blood vessels near the anus. They are located on the inside of the rectum and within the sphincter of the anus. Sometimes they are set up in such a way that they protrude outwards. The most common are internal and external hemorrhoids.
Where do they come from?
The swollen blood vessels are in fact weak spots and not really special or dangerous. If a lot of pressure is exerted, we will suffer. Our diet is also the biggest cause of the reduction in fiber content in our food. Fiber ensures that our stools are soft and that we do not have to press so hard. It is precisely this pressing that causes us to get hemorrhoids.
If you eat a fiber-rich diet (brown bread, vegetables and fruit are important ingredients), it is wise to drink extra. For fibers to work properly they need moisture. Therefore, drink 1.5 to 2 liters per day. On Voedingscentrum.nl you can find a comprehensive overview of proper nutrition. Ensure sufficient exercise, exercise stimulates intestinal function. Ensure healthy toilet behavior. Withholding stool causes it to thicken. The result is that harder pressure is required. Take your time and try not to push too hard. Good sitting posture on the toilet is also good.
What are the complaints?
Various complaints are possible: including sagging to the outside, bright red blood on the toilet paper, irritating itching, burning sensation. If you suffer from hemorrhoids, wash your anus with lukewarm water and gently pat it dry. Taking a warm bath can also provide relief.
