Folk remedies "nemesis" of hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids is a common chronic disease. In the mild stage, we can apply folk remedies with easy-to-find ingredients, low cost and quite effective.

Hemorrhoids are divided into two types: external hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids depending on the veins of the rectum and anus. Although not really dangerous, the disease often causes a feeling of restlessness, discomfort, fatigue, and decreased health.

According to Oriental medicine, the cause is because the lungs and large intestine are connected, and the anus belongs to the large intestine. If the lungs are strong, the qi will be full. If they are weak, the cold qi will not be able to be contained, causing the rectum to protrude, and the heat in the large intestine can also escape.

Irregular eating, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much fat, sitting for long periods, and lack of exercise are also some of the causes of hemorrhoids.
