Piles Home Remedies: घरेलू उपचार, डाइट प्लान और आयुर्वेदिक तरीके (बवासीर का देसी इलाज)

To be honest, piles (haemorrhoids) is a disease that people don't openly discuss even at home. A feeling of heaviness in the stomach, burning during defecation, occasional bleeding, and above all, the fear that someone might find out. This very shame makes the disease even more dangerous. What could have been cured in a week initially, drags on for months.

In India, the number of piles patients is very high. Poor eating habits, sitting for hours in one place, drinking less water, all these combined invite this disease. In villages, people also call it "Maheshi" or "Arsh". Whatever the name, the suffering is the same.

In this “Bawaseer ka Desi Ilaj” article, we have written everything a patient really needs to know: which home remedies actually work, which Ayurvedic medicines to take, what dietary changes to make, and most importantly, when it becomes necessary to visit a doctor.

What are piles and why do they occur? (Bavaseer Kaise Hota Hai)

There are some veins inside and outside the anus. When these veins are under too much pressure, such as straining during constipation or sitting for long periods, these veins swell. These swollen veins are called piles or haemorrhoids.

It is of two types:

Bleeding Piles: Red blood comes out during defecation. The pain is less but the internal veins are affected.

Dry Piles: There is no bleeding, but the lumps remain outside. There is a lot of difficulty in sitting and standing, with burning and itching.

Reasons for piles:

• Chronic constipation
• Sitting on a chair all day
• Lack of fiber in the diet
• Drinking very little water
• Increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy
• Obesity and no exercise at all
• Sitting for a long time in the toilet (and using mobile)

How to identify symptoms of piles? (Bawaseer Ke Lakshan)

Often people mistake it for ordinary constipation and ignore it. Be alert if you see these symptoms:

• Seeing red blood on tissue or water after toilet
• Severe itching and burning around the anus
• Pain or discomfort when sitting
• Feeling that the stomach is not completely clean even after defecation
• Feeling something bulging or swollen outside the anus
• Straining too much for defecation

If this problem persists for more than two weeks, it is necessary to meet a doctor along with home remedies.

Home Remedies for Piles (Bawaseer Ka Gharelu Ilaj)

Below we have given some home remedies for piles (bavasir ka ilaaj) that can help you get relief from piles at home.

1. Aloe Vera Gel

If you have an aloe vera plant at home, it comes in handy. Break off a fresh leaf, cut it in half, and extract the cold gel. Apply it directly to the haemorrhoids. You will quickly feel a difference in the burning sensation. Those with bleeding piles should drink a small glass of aloe vera juice on an empty stomach in the morning; this will keep their stomach healthy.

2. Warm Water Sitz Bath

This method seems a bit old but is very effective. Fill a large tub or bucket with enough warm water so you can sit in it. Stay there for 15-20 minutes. Even better if you can add rock salt. Do this twice a day, in the morning and at night. This is the most reliable remedy among remedies to dry up piles.

3. Coconut Oil

Use cold-pressed coconut oil available in the market. Apply it to the haemorrhoids with the help of cotton before sleeping at night. It has anti-inflammatory properties and also makes bowel movements easier. Apply continuously for a week, you will see a difference.

4. Castor Oil

Before sleeping at night, drink a glass of lukewarm milk mixed with one teaspoon of castor oil. Your stomach will be clean in the morning and stool will be soft. When you don't have to strain, the pressure on the haemorrhoids will automatically decrease.

5. Turmeric and Ghee

Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric in two teaspoons of desi ghee and apply it on the haemorrhoids. Apply at night and go to sleep. Turmeric prevents infection and ghee soothes the burning sensation. This home remedy for piles is very old, passed down from grandmothers.

6. Triphala Churna

This is a powder made from three fruits: Amla, Harad, and Baheda. Take one teaspoon with lukewarm water at night. Your stomach will be completely clean in the morning. This is the oldest and most tested remedy among home remedies for piles (bavasir ke gharelu upchar).

7. Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water and apply it to the haemorrhoids with cotton. It quickly reduces itching and burning. Do not apply directly without mixing water, it can cause more burning.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Piles (Bawaseer Ki Ayurvedic Dawa)

Now let's talk about some other things that are considered very important in Ayurveda for piles and are often available at home or at a nearby shop!

Kalonji: It is also called black cumin. Mix half a teaspoon of kalonji with a little honey and eat it. It contains a substance called Thymoquinone which reduces inflammation and keeps digestion healthy. In piles, it helps to soothe internal burning.

Fenugreek (Methi): Soak one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in water overnight and eat them on an empty stomach in the morning. Fenugreek contains fiber and mucilage which softens the stool and prevents constipation. Drinking fenugreek water is beneficial in bleeding piles.

Harad: This is one part of Triphala. Harad can also be taken alone; take half a teaspoon of Harad powder with lukewarm water at night. It cleanses the intestines, makes defecation easier, and keeps the root cause of piles, i.e., constipation, away.

Neem: Grinding neem leaves and applying them on the haemorrhoids prevents infection. If there are wounds or burning in the haemorrhoids, neem oil can also be applied. Neem is antibacterial and is very useful for external application.

Turmeric (Haldi): In Ayurveda, turmeric is also considered a "natural antibiotic". In piles, drinking turmeric milk at night and applying a paste of turmeric-ghee on the haemorrhoids is very effective.

Nilophar: This is a lesser-known Ayurvedic herb, also called the blue lotus flower. It pacifies Pitta and helps stop bleeding in bleeding piles. Take it in the form of a decoction in the correct quantity after consulting an Ayurvedic doctor.

Manjistha: This is a blood-purifying herb. In bleeding piles, when blood flows, the body's heat increases. Manjistha reduces that heat and keeps the blood pure. Take half a teaspoon of Manjistha powder with honey.

Dry Ginger (Saunth): This is dried ginger powder. Digestion becomes very weak in piles. Dry ginger improves digestion and provides relief from gas and bloating. Take a pinch of dry ginger, a pinch of asafoetida, and a little rock salt, all mixed together with water.

Note: One thing to keep in mind is that these home remedies for piles, medicines, and herbs should be taken with the advice of an Ayurvedic doctor. Everyone's body is different, and the wrong dosage can cause harm instead of benefit.

What to eat and what not to eat in piles: Direct and simple diet
