There are many types of hemorrhoid remedies and hemorrhoid cream or ointment available over the counter and on the market today, however most of these creams or ointments are only designed to soothe the pain, itching and burning associated with hemorrhoids, which is why they usually contain numbing agents. However, there are some creams that are able to shrink the swelling anal cushions (which is what hemorrhoids are) and these vary from anesthetic and analgesic ointments, to homeopathic or natural ointments. Some of these products also come as a foam of sorts. Cortisone-based creams are available by prescription.
Still, most of these products do little more than ease the discomfort and allow the hemorrhoids to heal on their own. Hemorrhoids of a more serious nature, though, are usually not able to heal on their own and may require surgery. However, a natural, traditional remedy such as Neo Healar hemorrhoid cream works very well and has a high success rate in preventing the need for surgery. Natural remedies are, quite naturally, recommended and viewed as better than pharmaceutical remedies because they avoid complications and work with the body. Neo Healar's process of healing is not just to soothe, but to heal and repair the hemorrhoid issues as well. This is particularly helpful.
In addition to hemorrhoid cream, there are many other natural means in which you can prevent hemorrhoids from occurring. The most simple means is to ensure you have soft bowel movements by drinking lots of water and keeping a healthy (high fiber) diet. From there, develop good bowel habits by ensuring you do not spend longer than is necessary on the toilet (reading is not recommended) or ensuring you do not strain during bowel movements (soft bowels help this from being necessary.) Certain natural vitamins help as well, such as the following:
1) Vitamin E : Vitamin E prevents further inflammation from occurring, being a powerful anti-oxidant.
2) L-Arginine : This can help to prevent muscle spasms, which is also beneficial in preventing anal fissures from occurring
3) Horse Chestnut : a wonderful herb that alleviates swellings
4) Red Sage : Red Sage stimulates blood circulation, which is beneficial in the prevention of piles
5) Oat straw : Oat Straw is beneficial for the digestive system, and also raises energy levels
6) Plantain : Itching and burning is greatly relieved
More serious forms of hemorrhoids may only be cured through surgery or hospital treatment procedures, although many of the natural healing hemorrhoid creams mentioned above may prevent this. If hospital procedures are required, however, there are methods which are relatively quick and are designed to cut off blood supply to the hemorrhoids or shrink them so that they fall off on their own, and the skin left behind heals. Surgery, though, requires over-night treatment and actual removal of the hemorrhoids themselves.
