After reading through the comments, I would just like to add something. Yes, I have found that garlic cloves inserted anally is the most effective remedy. I've had this embarrassing problem since I had babies in the 1970's. Initially, it was an external problem then became internal. I would wake up at night in excruciating pain and have to walk around and take pain killers until I got some sort of relief. Finally, around 10 years ago I found out about garlic (an Ayurvedic solution) and have used it ever since. Recently I noticed some new bleeding with every bowel movement and thankfully, have started the strict garlic insertion again. Seems to be working. BUT I wanted to know why this time, the bleeding was increasing. Then I suddenly realized that I have been sitting way too much (I am 76 and spend many days seated, doing art work.) Now, I force myself to stay on my feet for much more time each day and I think this is helping as well. So, I believe that staying active is VERY important--we were never meant to sit for hours at a time! I hope this is helpful to some of you!

I am amazed how effective the use of the garlic eased the swelling of my hemmroids. I had no bleeding prior to the use. The ointment preparation H was not proving to be as effective as advertised. It was the garlic in conjunction with the ointment I noticed and felt a significant change.

I am Dr. Prabhu, registered dental practitioner, practising dentistry..very interested in natural healing. My journey started years back after being afflicted by psoriasis, an auto immune condition where modern medicine doesn't have a proper solution.
During my journey of healing psoriasis, I experienced hemorrhoids, whenever I went to the bathroom, a bulge of tissue pops out and when I push it with fingers it goes inside, at one stage it didn't go and was permanently sticking out with difficulty sitting down and causing pain..when I searched for natural remedies I came across the use of garlic suppositories for hemorrhoids, hesitant at first I thought I would give it a try. I cut the garlic in a few places to activate the allicin and kept it inside my anal opening, I also smashed some garlic and placed in a piece of gauze soaked in coconut oil and used it as a topical application on my external lesion. The first time my experience made me tremble, as it was stinging terribly..but my determination kept me going, after doing this for 10 days I was totally free. I could see the improvement from the third day.
I was amazed by the magic effect of garlic.

Medium sized clove, peeled, shaped, sliced lightly to release garlic oils, coat with oil, insert. and usually next day's bm out it comes. It works wonders for me, and have had good reviews from other persons I have shared this with. I am a colon cancer survivor, and a recent colonoscopy showed internal and external hemorrhoids. Back to garlic, externals reduced significantly after 2 treatments 1 week apart. I am 79, and this fix I got from an old remedy book my mother had years ago.

I have been using raw garlic as suppositories for 2 days now, today is the 3rd day, because I have piles that has lasted since year 2000 which caused very frequent stooling and I urinate so much. In sincerity, I have noticed some great and drastic changes, I peel the garlic and add some sprinkles of olive oil as lubricant for easy passage, after every insertion which I do every morning, I don't stool or urinate until the next day. I don't urinate at night anymore, in just 2 days. I will continue doing this consistently for a month and see what magic powers it will bring forth some more. I am grateful to nature and to God for the discovery. I am on my way to total healing.

I have struggled with fissures and piles for 3 years. Tried everything from ACV to sitz baths, honey. Here's what finally helped me. I still have flare ups when I become lazy and stop sticking to these routines. I remember being in the depths of despair.
Good toileting habits
Sitting with feet elevated on the toilet.
Not pushing and rushing just allowing nature to take its course
Using water to cleanse and wash instead of tissue
Garlic depositories
Using raw garlic for a week. These helped massively.
Garlic capsules purchased from holland and barrets. I would squeeze out the oil and cover the entire region (inside and out) sounds gross but you need to heal from inside and out.
You practice the raw garlic depositories and the capsules to keep ontop. You should be cured within a month if you follow the above.
Sitz baths are good, I recommend.
Take care of your diet - diarrhoea or constipation cause remission.
Send healing energy to that place.
Try not to stress.

Can't remember the post re garlic for hemorrhoids I'm on my wits end when I have flare ups about 4 yrs ago so followed her recommendation, 2-3 cloves of garlics grounded in pestles add evoo rolled in Saran wrap freeze it overnight, insert half of it cleans hands of course. Warnings! It burns like hell! In about 5 min. Repeat again before bed. Can't remember how many days? But to this day no more flare ups.

Thanks so much for the post!!! The garlic poultice was the missing link for me. I've tried garlic suppositories before but they end up too far in the rectum to effect the hemorrhoids. As a note, I've found it easier to hold a longish clove of garlic in the anus sphincter rather than apply a poultice to my prolapsed hemms. Make sure to work over the clove with a fork and let sit for ten minutes before use to get the allicin converted. After just two days I'm finally seeing some relief/shrinkage.

Greetings.
An intro about myself, I am a board certified dental surgeon. Very interested in natural healing.
I was psoriatic for the past 20years, and through research healed myself through dietary changes and through supplements (multivitamin, fish oil capsules, EPA+DHA, EFA, Bone mineral formulas, Vitamin C, and magnesium)
I had internal haemorrhoids for the past 5 years, and after I started taking supplements it vanished, but last month symptoms started again, and it usually comes out during defecation and it could be reduced with finger pressure, that went on for a few months and all of a sudden I had a bigger prolapse and it couldn't be reduced. I consulted a general surgeon, who told me it was a grade 4 internal haemorrhoid and it needs surgical removal. I was not interested, opened you tube to hear many testimonials about garlic suppositories for healing haemorrhoids, as I believed in natural healing, but still being trained in conventional medicine did not have complete faith in it and decided to try it half heartedly-
NOTE: I never had constipation, because I usually eat natural diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. I also drink sufficient water, never take milk and it's products, and never eat processed foods.
I placed a single clove of garlic as a suppositorie for ten days, ate 3 cloves of raw garlic every night, also placed garlic as a poultice (crushed garlic) with coconut oil in a gauze directly on the popped out haemorrhoid lesion. And sometimes aloe Vera gel as a poultice. I couldn't believe myself, 10days- my symptoms vanished and haemorrhoids completely gone! Amazing, what a miracle.

I have suffered with prolapsed internal hemorrhoids since the births of my heavy babies 10 years ago. They haven't hurt, were a cluster the size of one grape I guess, and rarely bleed but I find them unsightly and hugely embarassing. A few months ago I decided to try and seriously rid myself of them completely, not thinking it to be possible after so many years. I embarked on a number of changes.
I do the Edgar Cayce exercises daily which feel as though they work(see youtube) and tried his remedies (which didn't work brilliantly for me). I have a fruit and vegetable smoothie every day. I stopped drinking alcohol as I noticed when I did they would be bigger and sometimes bleed the next day. I cut down on sugar and quit white rice and white flour and meat. These steps eliminated constipation.
I changed the way I use the toilet, now I go using a small step which has been amazing. If I do get constipated I treat it quickly with a home enema.
I took Vitamin C, magnesium, Yakult, Butchers Broom, Diosmin, Horse Chestnut, Aloe Vera juice, Cayenne, Turmeric and Chinese Herbs daily (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan). They made a slight difference.
However, the biggest difference has been simple old Garlic which I found whilst reading your site. Since using it as a suppository day and night for the last 3 days my hemorrhoids have never been so small! I cant believe it, I'm very happy :)
Also, what I have found is that I always have a flare up every time I am angry or stressed and so I started meditating and I believe that helped too. Good Luck everybody, but if I can do it after having them for 10 years then anybody can!

I began having hemorrhoid issues in Jan of 2012.For the past three years I have had really bad case of bleeding. It turned out I have external and internal Hemorrhoids. I tried every natural cure, nothing worked. BUT, and thank God, here is how I cured my problem, both external and internal ones. I wiped with Apple cider vinegar for about a week, this completely cured the external ones.
For the internal ones, I sliced garlic and shoved up in my rear end. Garlic is like napalm against fungus and other bacteria. Within one day, all my internal hemorrhoids were gone. After three years of bleeding like a woman on her period, I am completely cured. 100 % gone. Side effect free.
I must say, at first when you wipe with ACV it burns, but keep at it, its temporary pain. and the garlic has a huge after taste in your mouth once you used it as a suppository. But it works :)

I just read a post that said over the counter preparations for hemorrhoids work just as well, but I beg to differ. My step mom tried several of them and kept going down hill until a kind neighbor brought over some simple garlic capsules. She had been in excruciating pain for weeks. She immediately took the garlic, in the evening, and was hundred percent better by morning. I am convinced natural is definitely best.
Reading that hemorrhoids are a form of Candida makes a lot of sense, as all of these are anti-fungal, antioxidant and antibacterial cures. I have had success in many different ways with all of them. Blessings.

I'd like to mention another good use of garlic, I didn't see it here. If you have hemorrhoids, take one clove of garlic pill it carefully and put it up your rectum at night time. It will go out naturally in the morning when you go to the bathroom you won't even notice anything. Do this every night till symptoms are gone. Mine where gone in only 3 applications. I don't remember where I read it. The guy was claiming that if you do it for a month or two you can even cure hemorrhoids for good this way. All I know is that I had the hemorrhoids for about a month on and off and it was killing me and it was GONE in 3 days. There is a site explaining why taking garlic from the other end is a lot better than eating it. It works faster; it gets absorbed better from the body without the side effects. You don't get your blood pressure lowered ( I have this problem when eating it) and the most important one - no nasty smell ;-)

After my son's birth I suffered from haemorrhoids and tried every remedy I could find. One day I read about garlic and I thought I might as well try this as well.... Never looked back. Never had another problem. Ever. Just use a garlic clove as a suppository. Pointed side up. You may coat it in oil first. Replace it every time you use the toilet. Within 24 hours you will see the difference. It is amazing.
