Home remedies and plants with medicinal properties have long been used to cure minor discomforts and ailments like fever, toothache, gastric upset, and hemorrhoids. Nature has everything from the tree of life, to flowers that smell like rotting carcass to herbs that alleviate pain and discomfort. One of the most sought-after herbs is the Japanese pagodatree.
But before you dwell on the medicinal properties of the herb to shrink hemorrhoids, you may first want to know what this condition is and what causes it. Basically, proper blood supply to the rectum is facilitated by the arteries, veins, and capillaries. But sometimes the veins become enlarged, they tend to swell and become very painful when anything comes in contact with them. Those enlarged rectal veins are hemorrhoids. They may not be fatal to the patient at first but if they are not shrunk or treated immediately, they can rupture or lead to anal abscess which poses a serious threat to a person’s health.
Hemorrhoids vary in size and they can develop under the skin of the rectum or anus. Either way, piles cause stinging pain during passing of stool. Sitting and walking can be painful too. Perhaps the person who coined the phrase ‘pain in the ass’ definitely suffered from hemorrhoids so severe that he decided to include it in the English vocabulary.
Hemorrhoids are usually caused by pressure due to excessive straining when moving bowels. Constipation is one factor since hard, formed stools are sort of difficult to excrete. Pregnant women can also suffer from this condition since they have to take an iron supplement. Iron causes constipation, plus, gradual weight gain brought about by the pregnancy can add more pressure to the rectal veins.
Speaking of weight gain, obese people are also prone to having piles. A diet that is poor in fiber for easier bowel movement is also a predisposing factor for hemorrhoids. One of the first symptoms of piles is the presence of bright red blood on the toilet paper when you wipe yourself after using the loo. Stools streaked with red blood can also be observed although you need to consult with your physician immediately because blood in the stool can be a symptom of another condition.
The use of Japanese pagodatree is one of the most popular practices in the field of herbal medicine and alternative modalities. Research shows that the use of the herbal extract together with medications prescribed by a doctor to treat piles has a 93 to 94% success rate. Here’s even better news, the wonder herb not only helps to shrink hemorrhoids but it also helps to strengthen the walls of the surrounding blood vessels in the rectum. You’ll be less prone to having hemorrhoids again in the future with stronger rectal vein walls.
The practice of using Japanese pagodatree to cure hemorrhoids is limited only to patients that are not pregnant or those who do not have heart problems. It is very important to know about the herb first before taking any food supplements or medications containing its extract.
