Hemorrhoid treatment with tea
Various teas are also said to have a hemorrhoid-relieving effect. Camomile sweet clover tea is often used in the treatment of hemorrhoids. Due to its enzymes and its ingredients, it has an anti-inflammatory effect on the hemorrhoids, causes pain relief and ensures that the venous protrusions are increasingly reduced with regular use.
For application, it is best to prepare a camomile-clover-tea mixture yourself. For this, take two equal portions of chamomile and sweet clover tea. Then take 1 tablespoon from the mixture and pour 1⁄4 liters of hot water over the tea.
The tea should then be left to steep for about ten minutes. Afterwards, 2-3 cups should be drunk daily. There is also the possibility of taking sitz baths with the tea mixture.
Of course you have to let the tea cool down for this. A correspondingly larger quantity of the tea must first be extracted. The tea can then be filled into a small bathtub.
The sitz bath should be done twice a day. The soothing effect will be felt after a few days. The only side effect sometimes described with sitz baths is the slight drying of the skin when used frequently.
It is also possible to use other types of tea. For example, oak bark teas or horsetail teas are used in order to achieve an appropriate anti-inflammatory effect. Regular sitz baths should be taken with these two types of tea (2x daily).
However, only a slight effect is attributed to the drinking of both tea types. For this reason a local application should be carried out. Sheep tea can also be used.
However, sitz baths should not be performed here, but rather compresses should be applied. To do this, take one or two teaspoons of sheep’s ginger tea and pour hot water over them. Put compresses into the hot water and wait until the compresses have soaked completely and until the tea has cooled down.Afterwards the compresses should be applied directly to the painful anal area. The application time should be 20-30 minutes. The application should be repeated twice a day.
