How To Stop Bleeding Hemorrhoids with Aloe Vera
One of the best ways to relieve your sufferings from hemorrhoids is to get your bowels moving easier and more frequently. Any straining you do just to push hard stools will only aggravate your hemorrhoids and can lead to pain and bleeding. It is also important that you use a soft tissue when completing the bowel movement in order to avoid scraping or aggravating your hemorrhoids. Pre-moisten tissues are even recommended but make sure that these tissues are not colored or scented because there may be chemical additives which can make the condition worse. Aside from this, there are also several natural remedies that you can try to relieve your hemorrhoid suffering. One of the most effective methods of eliminating hemorrhoids is the use of Aloe Vera.
An Aloe Vera is one of the herbs that has all the needed properties to repair hemorrhoidal tissue. It works by attacking and helping relieve the hemorrhoid symptoms without worrying of the side effects. Pain, inflammation and enlargement of the hemorrhoids can be eliminated by this common medicinal plant. This plant is also popular for its use in burns since it has an emollient, demulcent, and anti-inflammatory effects. By possessing emollient and demulcent properties, the plant provides soothing effects on the tissues. Also, the anti-inflammatory properties of the Aloe Vera can effectively relieve the painful symptoms caused by hemorrhoids.
Aloe Vera is also an astringent which can heal open wounds by contracting the weak tissues and ultimately favoring the shrinkage of hemorrhoidal tissue. To make it more effective, it is recommended that you apply the gel directly onto the anus. The best type of aloe gel is getting it directly from the aloe plant. But if you can’t find one, then the 100% organic whole leaf aloe can be a good alternative. This is available at the different health food or nutrition stores. Those who have a fresh aloe plant, you need to wash the leaf thoroughly with distilled water. Peel it on one side, bend with the peeled side outward, and slip it into the anus. Doing this will provide you with relief and lessen the hemorrhoid bleeding.
Aloe vera products can also be in the form of suppositories and inserted rectally. If this is too soft for you, you can first put it in the freezer for a while. The coldness will sooth the pain especially to those who are suffering from too much pain and inflammation. You can also buy an Aloe Vera gel. Blend it first in order to liquefy it more. Then, empty the fleet enema and put the Aloe Vera gel in it. Lubricate and insert rectally and can be left inside all night long or as long as possible. This will ultimately stop the bleeding and shrink your hemorrhoids.

I have found that finger-shaped, frozen aloe gel / juice anally inserted works wonders for haemorrhoids.. and all skin problems from burns to dry skin.. not to mention its a great shampoo… Grow your own….
I had hemorrhoid surgery and was in real pain on the 2nd day after surgery. I remembered that on my childhood my grandma told my mother that in the olden days people used to cut a piece of the inside (gel like part) of the Aloe plant and introduced it in the anus for hemorrhoid relief.
When I was in pain post-surgery and the strong painkillers didn’t work , I had an idea. I asked a neighbor if he could get me an Aloe Vera leaf. He promptly went to get it from the nursery. I couldn’t introduce it, since the area was so swollen. Then I peeled the outer layer and scooped the gel like substance on the inside with a spoon, then liquidized it in the blender. It turned into a liquid goo. I inserted the substance in the anus with the help of syringe after removing the needle. I kept more of it in the fridge so I could use it as needed. To my surprise, the next day I had no pain and no bleeding. And in a week I had healed totally from the surgery. No painkillers. I did it on the 2nd day after my surgery, as mentioned before. That was a total miracle I wanted to share. After the surgery I’ve never went back to the doctor who operated me. I was so embarrassed with the whole thing. I’ve never had a problem though. I had a very good surgery with Manhattan surgeon Dr. Randolph M. Steinhagen (Mount Sinai Medical Center). I also discovered that by taking olive oil with the main meals I’ve never had constipation again. It became a habit. Just poor 1 tbsp of virgin olive oil (the green one) on the food every main meal if you enjoy the taste naturally.
Hope this post helps someone. It’s a very honest personal experience. While some people suffer for a month with horrible pain and don’t even eat much so not to go to the bathroom, this whole experience turned out to be quite easy for me.
