If you have hemorrhoids, you just want to shrink them. It’s understandable – the pain can be crippling and prevent you from leading a normal life.
And while it certainly is possible to shrink hemorrhoids quickly – in as little as 24 hours depending on severity – this may or may not offer you a permanent solution.
Why? Because all treatments to relieve pain, shrink veins and stop bleeding are generally only treating the symptoms.
Of course, you need these treatments – you need to be able to free yourself from the pain in order to function in everyday life.
And one of the easiest, cheapest, safest treatments for shrinking hemorrhoids and stopping bleeding is better than anything the multi-national drug conglomerates or knife-wielding surgeons have to offer.
In some cases, direct shrinking treatments may cure a hemorrhoid attack permanently. This is generally so in cases where the condition was caused by a temporary condition such as lifting a heavy object or prolonged sitting (such as long road trip), etc. However, the majority of hemorrhoids are caused by more complex issues than this.
That’s why many sufferers of piles wonder why their hemorrhoids continue to return after using creams, suppositories or even undergoing surgery.
They may be free from piles for a few weeks or a few months, only to find they suddenly return to inflict more pain.
The only way to cure hemorrhoids is to address the root causes – this cannot be achieved by any other means than making some small – but amazingly effective – changes to your eating habits and lifestyle.
No special diet as such is required, just a few modifications – not so much what you eat, but how you eat. This makes all the difference to your body’s digestive and immune systems.
When you treat the actual causes, you can achieve life-long freedom from hemorrhoids.

We will cover something here that women (and men) don’t just sit around and openly talk about. It is something that is kept covered up. Not with lies, but with pants. We will be addressing the topic of varicose veins.
When veins in the human body become enlarged, they are know as varicose veins. The color of these veins can vary. They can be a dark blue, blue, purple, or even a flesh like color.
These veins look like they are wrapped and enveloped into each other. They are at their worst when they actual enlarge past the skin and protrude. These veins do not make wearing shorts fun and they develop mostly on a persons legs.
Varicose veins are the visible signs of an underlying venous insufficiency problem, where venous blood escapes from the normal flow of blood into an already congested leg
If you suffer from the problem of varicose veins, don’t worry; you are by no means alone. Over half the women in the Unites States on America suffer from this problem. I always thought it was just something that happened to woman, as they get older.
I then found out that there are many factors that could cause a woman to get varicose veins. I remember when my wife first started getting them. She was the ripe old age of 28. Were expecting our third child. That’s when I found out that one of the causes is an increase of the flow of blood in the body. Because she was pregnant there was more blood flowing through her veins.
The problem of varicose veins can escalate into something much more serious than just bad appearances. Varicose Veins are a more serious form of venous insufficiency that can accompany other symptoms, including pain, soreness, burning, aching, throbbing, cramping, muscle fatigue, and restless legs. Over time, chronic venous insufficiency can lead to skin and soft tissue breakdown.
Venous insufficiency is caused by valves in the veins that have broken down. These valves prevent blood flow back to the arteries. If their integrity is compromiseD, blood can accumulate and collect. This condition in aggravated in people who are sedentary or obese and likewise aggravated by hormonal imbalances found in pregnancy or with the use of HRT and chemical birth control.
Because the legs are so far below the heart the veins located there have the hardest time pumping the blood back up. As more and more pressure is put on the legs (through pregnancy, weight gain, etc) the blood collects there. It is pumped through at a much slower rate than the rest of the body. The collection of blood could very easily lead to blood clots. This is a very dangerous situation as blood clots passed to the heart and brain cause strokes and possibly death.
How can you avoid the problem of varicose veins?
There are several extra steps you can take for the treatment of varicose veins.
Changes in diet can help with the appearance of spider and varicose veins. There are several herbs that will keep blood thin and flowing smoothly. Also consider the nutrients required to keep veins and capillaries strong. Increasing your intake of monounsaturated and saturated fats can help. All cells replace themselves on a regular basis, including the cells in your circulatory system.
A diet heavy in polyunsaturated fats is inadequate for tissue repair and can often excerbate the problem with an increase of free radicals. Your body requires cholesterol and saturated fats for the building of strong cell walls. If you have been eating mostly seed oils, your body is not getting the right kind of fats. Consider switching to olive oil for salad dressings and coconut oil and butter for cooking. Also, the dietary enzyme bromelain can improve overall circulation by reducing the build up of fibrin along the walls of the blood vessels. It is very inexpensive, and good for circulation disorders of all kinds.
When cleaning your skin, use your wash cloth or loufah to massage the area around the broken veins first in a circular motion and then in a brushing motion upwards towards the bowels. This will improve circulation.
Painful varicose veins should always be evaluated by your physician as they may require surgery. If you have asymptomatic varicose veins, it may be a good idea to tell your doctor during your regularly scheduled check up so she can be aware of any possible vascular disease or disorder.
There are new commercial cosmetic procedures available for the reduction of varicose veins, however many of them are simply not justifiably affordable for the average person. Even if such procedures are used, natural, inexpensive at-home treatments can increase the success of expensive procedures and prevent a future repeat of symptoms.
Telangiectasia (spider veins) are the visible signs of an underlying venous insufficiency problem, where venous blood escapes from the normal flow of blood into an already congested leg.
Spider Veins are a mild form of venous insufficiency, which are cosmetically unappealing, but generally not dangerous or health threatening.
Spider veins are a very small thread like veins. They are generally blue or red in color. These veins are found more on legs and face. These veins are a big cosmetic problem as they disfigure the look of the skin. Let us find out how they form and how to get rid of them.
How do they form?
Venous insufficiency is caused by valves in the veins that have broken down. These valves prevent blood flow back to the arteries. If their integrity is compromiseD, blood can accumulate and collect. This condition in aggravated in people who are sedentary or obese and likewise aggravated by hormonal imbalances found in pregnancy or with the use of HRT and chemical birth control.
Spider veins are thought to form due to genetic reasons. Women get them more than men and they develop after an age. Young people don’t suffer from this problem much. They form a web like bundle that spreads from a center and that is why it is called spider veins.
Spider Veins are different than varicose veins. In varicose veins, the veins get pressurized by blood and protrude from the skin surface. Ulceration of varicose veins causes a medical problem.
Spider veins are often associated with the use of HRT and birth control pills. High levels of estrogen from these medications seem to aggravate venous insufficiency. If you are using birth control pills for contraception, you may want to ask your doctor for a lower-estrogen dose formula. If you are on HRT, you may want to consider switching to a lower dose, adding progesterone, or using a weaker formula, such as an estrone cream.
Treatment for Spider Veins
The only method of treatment of spider veins is destruction. They can be destroyed in many ways. Your doctor may use a fine needle and cut through the veins with electricity. The veins get destroyed as they are burnt. Lasers are now frequently used to remove spider veins. Your doctor will tell about the method that is suitable for you.
