This is the first time I posted anything online but because I was so miserable from hemorrhoids and am now completely cured, I have to share the remedy that helped me.
My symptoms started after straining from having a bowel movement. I felt a slight swelling and itching on one side of my rectal area and eventually noticed a medium purple-like bump. I ignored it for several months and the swelling and itching only became worse. I was spotting blood on toilet paper and I have to admit scratching at times with toilet paper. I never wanted to sit and if I did, I had to lean toward the unaffected side. I feared having bowel movements because the pain and itch increased before I had to go. I tried "expensive" prescription creams, over-the-counter creams, anti-inflammatories, apple cider vinegar, witch hazel, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, baby wipes, increasing fiber intake only resulting in temporary and minor relief.
I read on this site about Rutin. I took Rutin 500 mg and I experienced SIGNIFICANT relief the very SAME DAY. I took it daily, but I still experienced annoying anal itch for 1 year.
I started to take Vitamin E for a different ailment in March. Within 2 weeks, the itch was completely gone. I no longer have symptoms. I have been symptom free from hemorrhoids for 3 months. I stopped using rutin and decided to use it if I ever experience hemorrhoids again. I still take vitamin B and vitamin E with selenium for a different ailment. I truly feel like I never ever had hemorrhoids before and have returned to a normal life without anxiety from hemorrhoids.
The remedy that helped me in a nutshell is:
Rutin 500 mg a day
Vitamin E with selenium, started twice a day and tapered down to once a day
Vitamin B once a day
Increasing leafy green vegetables(Kale is my favorite)
Increasing fiber in my diet
Baby wipes, no toilet paper

I had the WORST hemorroid attack and was really suffering. I tried ACV, burned like none other and tried all the OTC creams. They seemed to make everyting worse! I couldn't sleep and was at my wits end, becoming desperate and depressed with the severe stinging, pain and itching. 3 nights ago I sent my hubby out to get Rutin and took a 500mg tablet before bed along with Ibuprofin and a Benadryl. I slept fairly well and didn't have to get up to take a bath at 2AM like usual. I took 500mg the next morning, along with a B6 vitamin and some Ibuprofin, and then again at night, minus the B6. So, with this routine, I am now sitting here 3 days later in ZERO pain. I have a minor amount of itching, NO stinging and slight discomfort I would say. My hemorroids are still there and still bleeding, but I have hope with a high fiber diet, these will be gone in a few weeks. My main concern was the constant pain, and that is gone! Thanks Earthclinic, I do not know what I would have done without you. :)

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and Cayenne Pepper (CP) have been recommended by many websites for hemorrhoid and its bleeding.
I say be very careful about these 2 so-called remedies. ACV might work for some but it is pretty harsh stuff for the colon and hemroid. It can cause blistering around the butt which is very painful and slow to heal as one user reported on this site.
CP powder aka Chili powder is a circulatory herb but it is well known among physicians - TCM and Homoepathic - to aggravate bleeding hemroids. For this reason these physicians often warn hemroid patients to avoid taking Chilli. So why are so many websites saying otherwise.
The only reason I can think of is as with other remedies, ACV and CP might help some but would worsen the problem for others. The latter category of users probably did not bother to report their negative experience.
I can tell you that I myself have used ACV and CP and found out that they are not safe for hemroids. CP for instance causes my hemroid to bleed again after 7 months of non-bleeding through the consumption of White Oak Bark powder.
Instead I would suggest safer herbal supplements like Rutin, White Oak Bark and Resveratrol. Even for some users these may also be counter-productive. For example some users might find Resveratrol constipating. However their effects are not so radical as ACV and CP.

In answer to 'Treadcarefully from Singapore' I would totally agree with their posting on Cayenne Pepper. I took CP in tea form for 11 days (by mouth) 3 times a day after hearing of the amazing benifits for hemmorroids (internal and external). After about 3 days of the treatment the burning round my anus was intolerable, this of course in addition to the pain I was already in from the hemmorroids. Being someone not to give up easily, I kept going till I could stand it no longer... Ceased the CP and within two days the dreadful burning subsided and in four days it was gone. Wont be trying that again!! Not sure though if the CP capsules would have the same bad effects? Not for me though - have put myself through too much agony already.
As for the ACV, I have certainly found that using it externally (diluted 50/50 with water) and bathing the external area after each BM and before bed to be quite benefical. Still got my hems, but no where near as painful as they were, but am trying all sorts of various remedies and concocting my own from them. My latest being, Butchers Broom tincture (3 times daily), a small mug of 2 tbls ACV, 1 tbls honey, 1 tbls lemon juce, and 1 clove of garlic grated or cut up very small, mix all together and top up with warm to hot water. Take twice a day.... Will post again if I have found that magic potion which we all need....

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that it is not safe for breastfeeding moms to take Rutin...unfortunately, if taken by breastfeeding mom, it can cause luekemia in infants. I am also breastfeeding mom and I find it very hard to find home rememdies safe to consume while breastfeeding. Hope this is helpful.

Dear Eve,
20 year ago I recall reading a caution about using Rutin in pregnancy. I cannot remember the source. Now, I realize you are breastfeeding, but the same caution may apply.
Cayenne might be an alternative for you to help with circulation. Is it possible that the cold hands are caused by low thyroid? If so, kelp or the iodine protocol on Earth Clinic may be helpful for you.

Wondering where you heard this risk? If there's a study please share this, thank you. I tried to find something on the Leukemia risk. All I found was an article mentioning that flavonoids in general *might* cause it. So a theoretical risk to a class of plant pigments / antioxidants, and not specifically relating to Rutin. Paper title is “Dietary bioflavonoids induce cleavage in the MLL gene and may contribute to infant leukemia”

I bought Rutin (500 mg.) at my local health food store and took one tablet that night before going to sleep! I woke to find the swelling had gone down overnight... Took another one before going to work and my symptoms completely had completely disappeared in 2 days!
I kept a bottle of Rutin in my desk drawer and gave tablets to other dispatchers who confided they were also suffering from the horrors of Hemorriods to try the cure out! Every one of them experienced dramatic results with this simple remedy and many were cured overnight!
Give it a try... I now take one tablet a day along with my other daily suppliments to keep from getting the swelling and pain again!
Rutin works miracles...
I love this website... God bless you for all that you do to help others share common sense remedies to keep away from the side effects of high priced Rxs and the control of Big Pharma!

Or
Vitamin B6 tablets. This remedy works after just a day or two. This will work if your hemorrhoids come from a deficiency of this vitamin, which is MANY cases, it does. I had a neighbor with BLEEDING hemorrhoids and she was able to avoid surgery by simply taking Vitamin B6.

Soursop is useful for high cholesterol, piles and blood in stools etc. Just buy 1 unripe fruit (raw and hard fruit),wash and cut it into small pieces.Cook it for 1 hr under low flame, when ready add some yellow sugar to taste. The fruit can be cooked again for maximum benefits.
