Haemorrhoids

“I often notice blood on the toilet paper.” “I have a very painful lump on my rectum.” “First it is painful, then it feels itchy.”

This or a similar experience is what people report with regard to their suffering from haemorrhoids.

A network of blood vessels next to the sphincter assures proper closing of the anus. The blood within these vessels can accumulate, creating a blood clot, which then might be felt as a solid and painful lump inside or outside of the sphincter. Weeping, bleeding, agonizing itchiness or stool smear may be experienced.

Suffering from haemorrhoids isn’t always caused by constipation or chronic straining to have a bowel movement. Pregnancy can also be a cause of these uncomfortable symptoms.

What is the Vedic medicine point of view on haemorrhoids?

Metabolic residues develop continuously due to improper lifestyle. In the case of haemorrhoids, toxins (in Ayurveda called “Ama”) accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and the liver. Nutrient deficiency can also cause weakening of elasticity of the tiny blood vessels around the sphincter. Everyone affected knows from experience that pungent, spicy foods can intensify the discomfort.

In Ayurveda every patient is different and so each person’s haemorrhoids complaint varies. The Ayurvedic approach at our Centre is holistic.

Vedic medicine offers different methods of treatment. After an in-depth medical diagnosis at our Centre, a comprehensive treatment plan is individually tailored for each patient with haemorrhoids.

They recognize that healing must take place on all levels. In the case of haemorrhoids, for example, an emphasis on elimination of toxins, regulation of stool as well as balancing of daily nutrition can be recommended. It is important to bring all natural regulatory principles back into harmony. Nutritional recommendations and helpful exercises, as well as specific herbal mixtures tailored according to your needs, support a health-conscious lifestyle. In this way, your natural self-healing abilities can re-establish a healthy rectum.
