Hemorrhoid Relief at Home: Pumpkin Juice and Chestnut Baths

Pumpkin

Hemorrhoids affect many women. Young women, in particular, can develop this condition because of irregular eating habits and often eating on the go. Women can also develop hemorrhoids after prolonged, difficult childbirth. Older women may experience hemorrhoids as a result of strenuous, physically demanding work. The most drastic treatment for this condition is surgical intervention. However, surgery can be intimidating for patients and does not guarantee that the problem won’t return. Fortunately, some traditional remedies can deliver good results for years, and in some cases even complete recovery.

First Method.
The treatment begins by extracting juice from a ripe pumpkin. The juice is strained through cheesecloth, and a shot (about 1.7 to 2.5 ounces) is drunk on an empty stomach in the morning and again in the evening before meals. The course lasts two to four weeks, and the juice should be prepared fresh daily.

Second Method.
This method uses finely chopped horse chestnut fruits (remove the green spiky shells first). Two to three handfuls of the chopped chestnuts are covered with 2 to 4 liters of boiling water and simmered on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. The broth is poured into a basin, and the person sits in it for 20 to 30 minutes. The broth’s temperature should be kept relatively stable by adding hot water as needed. These baths are done daily, or at least every other day. In the western regions, fresh beech nuts can be substituted for the chestnuts, but they should be boiled for at least 20 minutes. The duration of treatment is the same as with the first method.

Attention, new mothers! Sometimes, a small child may cry at night for unknown reasons, even at one, two, or three years old. You can try the first method. Pumpkin juice does not cause any complications or allergies and may provide relief.
