Hemorrhoids are a common yet often distressing condition. While standard treatments often focus on managing surface symptoms, a herbal approach utilises a comprehensive clinical framework to identify and address the root causes of inflammation and vascular congestion.
In our clinic, we focus on “detoxing” the system to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.
Watch: The Herbal Path to Hemorrhoid Recovery
Recognising the Signals
Hemorrhoids manifest in various ways, and identifying your specific symptoms is key to the correct herbal diagnosis [00:36]:
- Itching & Irritation: Soreness or burning in the anal area.
- Bleeding: Bright red blood on toilet paper or stools [00:48].
- Pain & Lumps: Hard, tender lumps or bulging tissue (thrombosed or prolapsed) [01:00].
A Critical Clinical Note: Identifying the Source
It is vital to distinguish the source of bleeding. Bright red blood often indicates hemorrhoids. However, if you notice coffee-colored stools or black blood, this may indicate an issue in the stomach or colon. In such cases, you should see your GP immediately for further investigation [01:36].
The Protocol: Targeted Herbal Combinations
Lily utilizes specific combinations of oral capsules and topical ointments to treat different patterns of the condition:
- For Itching & Irritation: A combination of Piyubing Zudu and Jubai Diwang capsules [02:06].
- For Bleeding & Constipation: Huaijiao Wan and Shangkun capsules to cool the blood and ease movements [02:28].
- For Pain & Thrombosed Lumps: Huaijiao Wan and Sufeng capsules to move stagnation and reduce swelling [02:48].
Topical Care: Proper Application
The use of specialized herbal ointments (like Mayinglong) provides essential external relief [03:30].
- How to apply: Wash and thoroughly dry the area. Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount to the outer area or gently insert it if necessary. Apply twice daily [03:43].
The Foundation: Lifestyle & Diet
Herbal medicine works best when supported by a healthy “internal environment” [04:31]:
- Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of spicy foods, seafood, chocolate, and coffee during treatment [04:22].
- Nourish: Increase water intake and vegetable consumption.
- Movement: Avoid sitting for prolonged periods to reduce pressure on the pelvic floor.
Personalised Diagnosis via Tongue Analysis
In Chinese Medicine, the tongue is a map of your internal health. If your symptoms are complicated, Lily offers a Tongue Diagnosis consultation to identify your specific internal imbalances before prescribing a formula [04:50].
Clinical Disclaimer:
Never take herbal medication blindly. Accurate diagnosis is essential for safe and effective results. If you are unsure which formula fits your symptoms, please contact the clinic for a professional consultation.
