Your Different Treatment Options
Dietary Therapy
Many of the causes of hemorrhoids can come from the bathroom, but you need to ask yourself why you have problems in the bathroom. Too much spicy food, alcohol or other unhealthy snacks can complicate your stomach, leading to longer times sitting over the toilet and increasing the chance you’ll contract them. Be honest with our specialists about how you eat and we can work with you to find a more healthy diet so you can avoid hemorrhoids in the future.

We have several herbal remedies at our disposal that we can create to ease feelings of pain in the area as you deal with the hemorrhoid. We can create many different tonics and products that may be able to help you through the pain of a hemorrhoid, so the treatments you are taking can be less stressful.*
