- Aromatherapy is based on the premise of using liquid, volatile plant and flower materials, and forming compounds from them into essential oils. Aromatherapy treatment for hemorrhoids improves blood flow to the affected area, eases the pain and discomfort, and helps with the rebuilding and healing of tissue. Because they are very concentrated, it only takes a small amount of essential oils to make a difference in treating hemorrhoids.
- To treat hemorrhoids with a traditional sitz bath, fill your tub with warm water. Add 20 drops of juniper essential oil and 20 drops of lavender essential oil. Stir the water to distribute the oils. Soak in the bath for between 10 and 15 minutes.
Make a massage oil for hemorrhoids by combining one ounce of jojoba oil with four drops of lavender essential oil, two drops of tea tree oil, one drop of myrrh essential oil and one drop of coriander oil. Blend these oils together and apply externally to the affected area as often as necessary. - Another alternative treatment for hemorrhoids is to use a topical treatment after a bath or bowel movement. Mix two drops of lavender essential oil with one drop of geranium essential in one ounce of your chosen carrier oil such as sweet almond oil. Apply externally after bathing or after a bowel movement.
Along with proper diet and exercise, these aromatherapy treatments will help to ease your symptoms associated with hemorrhoids. Consult your physician for other treatment options if your symptoms persist.
