What are hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a widespread disorder that affects at least once every third person during their lives. This disorder is distributed equally between men and women.

The common way of saying "I have hemorrhoids" is actually the way by which inflammation and dilation of the veins of the rectum is defined and around the anus.

This inflammation causes pain and can even lead to bleeding with external leakage : the hemorrhoidal plexus that surrounds the anal orifice then becomes larger as well as the last part of the intestine also leading to the externalization of hemorrhoids from the anus.

Individuals who suffer from inflamed hemorrhoids in addition to experiencing pain, itching and bleeding also have malaise related to the worry, embarrassment and shame of a disorder that makes difficult common and daily actions such as sitting and walking.

The causes of hemorrhoids

The causes that lead to inflammation of the hemorrhoids are different : first of all, an incorrect diet poor in fiber and rich in refined, spicy, spicy and salty foods such as sausages, cured meats and aged cheeses.

Furthermore, a sedentary lifestyle, and therefore little physical activity, because the blood does not circulate well, as does the excessive use of drugs, alcohol or smoke.

Constipation, especially if prolonged over time, is obviously a triggering factor for hemorrhoids. Finally, women during and after pregnancy can suffer more from this disorder as well as those with liver disorders.

The origin of hemorrhoids, however, can also be linked to genetic factors that involve, for example, capillary fragility and other physical problems that predispose to this disorder.

Centella asiatica natural remedies

Centella is one of the most effective plants in the case of inflamed, swollen and painful hemorrhoids.

This plant is known with the scientific name of Centella asiatica and belongs to the umbrella family such as carrot and fennel.

It is also remembered with the vulgar name of "tiger of the meadows" and its lands of origin are India and Madagascar but then it has spread in Africa and Australia. It grows in hot climates but in humid and shady areas near watercourses.

Centella is a small herbaceous plant up to 20 centimeters high with violet flowers and green leaves from which the active ingredients used to obtain natural medicinal remedies are extracted.

Centella-based remedies can be taken orally or used for topical use.

There are single-dose centella food supplements to be taken several times a day orally as the dry extract which is recommended from 300 to 800 mg a day in tablets or capsules better if taken in the morning or in operculums that may also contain other extracts of officinal herbs associated with the centella and with an always synergistic action to counteract the hemorrhoids.

In addition, centella asiatica can be used as a mother tincture to be taken in drops in the morning, at noon and in the evening or even putting 80 drops of mother tincture in a bottle of water to be consumed during the day away from meals.

Even the centella herbal tea is very effective and we can prepare it by placing 5 g of dried centella leaves in 250 ml of boiling water, leaving it to infuse for 10 minutes.

Then we filter and sweeten to taste (avoiding refined white sugar and using natural sweeteners such as honey, molasses, cereal malt or fructose instead).

Finally we can use natural remedies against hemorrhoids that contain centella asiatica but for topical use. These remedies include creams and ointments to be applied two or three times a day in the painful area.

These remedies based on centella asiatica can be taken even before the onset of inflammation because in this way the action will be preventive and therefore more effective.

Centella asiatica as antihemorrhoidal

Centella asiatica contains active ingredients such as saponins and asiaticosides which act on the resistance of capillaries and this allows for more beneficial actions against hemorrhoids.

First of all, the centella has an excellent healing property that helps the healing and repair of the epithelial tissue of the damaged cells so in the case of hemorrhoid bleeding it is perfect.

In addition, the centella is also an excellent phlebotonic with an improvement action on the trophism of the connective tissue and all this allows the hemorrhoids to heal very quickly as well as having a preventive effect if taken periodically before the onset of the disorder.
