3 Essential Oil Remedies for Pesky Hemorrhoids!



Hemorrhoids.

It's just not easy subject to talk about butt, it's a common problem. 

I'm up for jumping into this uncomfortable subject by sharing a few natural solutions with essential oils that work...and yes, I speak from personal experience!







Hemorrhoids are swollen, inflamed veins in the anal area.  They can be internal or external protrusions with symptoms that include itching, pain or even bleeding.


Hemorrhoids can result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining or pregnancy.  

Take precautions when lifting heavy items!







Scratching, to reduce the itching going on can further weaken the area and compound the problem. 

Don't scratch!
