Edible Clay and Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are caused by swollen veins in the anal canal. Too much pressure, usually caused by straining, on the veins can cause them to swell inside the canal, or at the anus opening forming external hemorrhoids.
Diarrhea and constipation both can lead to straining and increase the pressure on the veins in the anal canal. Extra weight can increase the pressure too. Pregnancy also adds pressure to the anal canal and pelvic area, causing hemorrhoids, and straining to push during childbirth makes the condition even worse.
There are several things you can do to prevent and/or control hemorrhoids and edible clay can help:
Don't rush bowel movements. Avoid straining and prolonged sitting on the toilet to help keep blood from saturating the affected tissues.
Make sure your diet includes plenty of fiber. Healthy bowel movements is the very best way to prevent hemorrhoids. Edible clay like montmorillonite clay acts as a bulking agent and will contribute to a healthy colon and bowel movement regularity. It will help to eliminate diarrhea and constipation.
Drink plenty of water. Eight or more glasses a day. Fluids help to soften the stool, prevent constipation and to cleanse your system. Edible, calcium montmorillonite clay will help cleanse your digestive system even more because it binds toxins and bacteria and removes them from the body with the stool.
Pain Relief:
There are plenty of natural products you can use to relieve hemorrhoidal pain. Aloe vera gel applied directly to the area can give relief and soothe the burning sensation. Calendula cream can be applied to external hemorrhoids to relieve the pain and inflammation. Clay baths will also soothe the affected tissues.
The recovery process may be slow, but if you avoid straining the pelvic area, eat a high fiber diet, drink plenty of water and take calcium montmorillonite clay, the hemorrhoids will shrink. By paying close attention to your diet and by taking care not over strain when going to the bathroom your hemorroids may go away completely.
