• Traditional ayurvedic anti-haemorrhoidal herbs are used to reduce the bleeding and inflammation of piles.
• Many such preparations include mild laxative and stool-softening herbs, addressing the constipation that perpetuates haemorrhoids.
• Softer stools reduce straining, which is the central mechanical factor in haemorrhoidal disease.
• Oral treatment complements local measures such as sitz baths and topical preparations.
• Long established in Indian practice and widely accepted by patients reluctant to seek surgical assessment.

Not everyone gets these. Most are mild and settle as the course finishes.

• Rectal bleeding must never be assumed to be haemorrhoids. Bleeding, a change in bowel habit or weight loss — particularly over the age of forty — needs medical examination to exclude colorectal cancer.
• A traditional preparation, not a substitute for surgical or specialist assessment of significant haemorrhoidal disease.
• Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to any herbal constituent.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on the advice of a qualified practitioner — several traditional laxative herbs are unsuitable in pregnancy.
• Tell the prescriber about all conventional medicines being taken, as herbal preparations can interact.
• Increase dietary fibre and fluid intake and avoid straining — no oral preparation will succeed without this.
• Seek review if symptoms do not improve within a few weeks, or if bleeding recurs.
