Among the remedies for hemorrhoids we include ointments, topical treatments that are applied on the areas and which perform a dual action:

– soothing the inflamed area;

– healing the treated area.

Due to the simplicity of application, hemorrhoids ointments are themselves a drug, even if a natural one, and often used by those suffering from this problem, since the topical action gives immediate relief to the irritated areas and active ingredients come directly without waiting for too long.

It is important to make an initial distinction between the pharmacological origin ointments for hemorrhoids and the natural ones. The first ones are often prescribed by the doctor and just as often contain cortisone, a steroid agent that fights irritations, but on the other hand it lowers the body immune system.

As it happens with many drugs, on the one hand these preparations solve the problem but on the other hand are likely to take action which would counter other parts of the body.

In light of these considerations, you can ask your doctor for hemorrhoids ointments without this pharmacological agent, which can be as effective and probably safer for your health.

Among the many proposals that can be found in the homeopathic pharmacy we find: Avenoc®, Centeril H® Cream, Emortrofine® Cream and Preparation H®, that we all know. These ointments  are specific for disorders that involve hemorrhoids prolapse, but there are also versions dedicated to the treatment of stage I hemorrhoids, or internal ones.

To allow the product act with greater effectiveness, this kind of ointments for hemorrhoids are equipped with a dispensing cannula that allows you to put the product on the inflamed areas, and then to accelerate the healing process.

Before buying any type of drug, even over-the-counter ones, it is ideal to ask a consultation and advice to the attending doctor, who can identify your hemorrhoids stage and then recommend you the most suitable preparations. It could happen that hemorrhoids are in an advanced stage, and then it is impossible to treat them topically, and therefore the appropriate remedies may be different.

Those who do not like using drugs but prefer natural cures can choose completely natural basis ointments for hemorrhoids. These products can be found in pharmacies and also in many online stores.

It is important to choose the preparations of optimal pharmaceutical and herbal homes, who may also propose a bio-certified nature of the ingredients. This way you can count on a certainly natural and controlled cure. In the market there are many natural ointments dedicated to hemorrhoids, let’s see which they are:

– the hemorrhoid cream with aloe vera. We know how aloe vera is a very effective remedy for irritated and burnt skin. The gel contained in this plant acts soothing irritation and rebuilding damaged tissues.

The gel also provides a relief and freshness feeling, perfect during summer months when clothing increase the itching and burning.

-Ointments based on medicinal herbs. Chamomile, Amamelis, Calendula and Horse Chestnut are among the most used plants in the preparation of hemorrhoids ointments. The extracts are blended with moisturizing butters and therefore go to act in an effective and natural way, soothing irritated areas, protecting them from contact and even strengthening the vein walls.

– Ointments based on oats. Oats is a basic cereal, which deeply soothes irritations. Many hemorrhoid creams include oats in their content, because it gives a immediate relief to irritated areas.
