Here we go again...this time it was worse and much more stubborn with bigger Hemorrhoid. The pain level was 7-9 out of 10 especially before and after bowel elimination. The reason it happened is my nutrition. It was very healthy, I exercise but I don’t eat bread or any other good source of fibre. Solution: first thing in the morning, 2 cups of hot water with lemon juice w/o a tbsp apple vinegar, the first with either honey or agave syrup for sweetener and a touch of Cayenne pepper. Breakfast: 1 tsp Psyllium, 2 tsp freshly grounded flax seed, prunes an a few other dry fruits, 1 tbs ...

I’ve had a long time free of pain and practically was back to normal and healthy bowl movement in every way. That was until I pigged out on roasted nuts (my biggest food addiction) that caused me repeated bowl movements that were relatively solid, which caused another cycle of pain. What I have found out is that using moxa while SQUATTING, directing heat and smoke to the fissure, can alleviate the pain and accelerate healing. I purchased this type of moxa for this purpose (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Grade-Five-Years-Old-Moxa-Roll-Moxibustion-/280523303609?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_ ...

The obvious questions is why are you tense? is it fear because of pain you have when you have bowl movement? do you have a fissure? Do you suffer from hard feces that cause pain? If your feces are normal then the easy way to relax the sphincter is by pressing hard under the tail bone upwards, about 45 degrees into the body, for 30-60 seconds. This point is commonly used in TCM and I found it very helpful. Another way is to adjust your posture while sitting - bring a bucket and place your feet on it. This will simulate squatting. Any object that will elevate your feet to about the sam ...

Since my first update, I had constipation and the fissure problem started again. The following report describes my steps to eliminate both to complete health. I had constipation for 36 hours, which for me, is a sign for pain to come. I felt strong bowl movements but nothing came out so after suffering the whole night, I resorted to improvisation: a. I prepared a bowl with warm water, comfortable for enema. b. Prepared a 10 cc syringe. c. Spread a large garbage plastic bag on the floor. d. Squatted and injected 60 to 100 cc of warm water through the sphincter. e. Stood up and walk ...

I’ve suffered from anal fissure for more than 6 years with varying degrees of pain, coming and going but mostly staying...It happened when I made popcorn and didn’t succeed too well but still ate the half opened kernels. One of those kernels dug itself during bowl movement and my journey to pain land began. I’ve had reasonable success with sea buckthorn oil as a topical aid but the oil lost its healing property with time as oils usually do in room temperature so I decided to make something by myself. Any wound needs nutrients to heal and that require a good blood circulation. That’s ...
