Ayurveda Treatment for Hemorrhoids

Ayurveda Treatment for Hemorrhoids

by | Nov 2, 2013 | Ayurveda, Home Remedies

03B82531Beet root is a superb treatment for hemorrhoids. It causes the liver to manufacture bile, and promotes liver blood circulation, lowering blood pressure in the portal vein, the site of the hemorrhoid (actually a varicose vein in the rectum).

Milder carrot will work, a bit more slowly. Eat several servings of beet root or beet greens per day, or a monodiet of these foods, until the problem diminishes. Continue until you get complete relief.

Treat hemorrhoids with turmeric. Swallow up to 4 tbsp. per day of the bulk powder until the pain is gone.

As an astringent, apply it topically as a paste to shrink the hemorrhoids.

Nausea

Nausea

02E88208Ginger’s effect on motion sickness and nausea has been thoroughly proven, so it’s not surprising that European practitioners use ginger in tea for indigestion. It reduces spasm, absorbs and neutralizes toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and increases the secretion of digestive juices, including bile and saliva. Ginger contains ingredients that soothe the gut and aid digestion by increasing peristalsis (which is is a radially symmetric contraction and relaxation of muscles which propagates in a wave down a muscular tube) that moves food through the intestine.
