The traditional approach to Hemorrhoids and their problems.
Let’s start with what causes Hemorrhoids, sometimes also called piles:
Symptoms can include the following:
Piles have plagued humanity for centuries.
The first known case of Hemorrhoids was already documented in 1700 BCE in Egypt.
And also the Bible already mentions them.
They are there also referred to as “emerods”.
According to 1 Samuel the plague was not relieved until the Philistines returned the Ark of the Covenant to the Israelites.
Along with a trespass offering of “five golden emerods and five golden mice”. (the plague of emerods occurred simultaneously with a plague of mice).
Haemorrhoids are one of the best-described diseases in medical history.
There are a huge number of suggestions about why you get them and how you can get rid of them. But even today, there is no consensus about the best treatment. From as far back as ancient times haemorrhoids and other disorders of the anus have been described fairly precisely.
As recently as the 19th century you could come across the idea that bleeding from haemorrhoids is the male equivalent to female menstruation and just as beneficial. Up until the middle of the 19th century, many physicians recommended blood-letting. (preferably from a certain vein near the ankle). Also recommended were leeches around the anus (up to 20 in a week). And even cupping on the loins. This picture from the 11th century also shows the problem.
We all have the potential to develop Hemorrhoids.We all have a pillow-like cluster of veins. They lie just beneath the mucous membranes that line the lowest part of the rectum and anus . Hemorrhoids develop when those veins become swollen and distended, like varicose veins.
There are two kinds of hemorrhoids:
1) Internal hemorrhoids, which occur in the lower rectum.
Internal hemorrhoids are typically painless, even when they produce bleeding. You may notice either red blood on the toilet paper or blood might also drop into the toilet bowl. Internal hemorrhoids may also prolapse or extend beyond the anus causing potential problems.
2) External hemorrhoids, which develop under the skin around the anus.
External hemorrhoids affect veins outside the anus. These hemorrhoids can cause bleeding, cracking, and itching. If a blood clot forms inside external hemorrhoids, the pain can be sudden and severe.
Hemorrhoids can also prolapse, which means they protrude through the anal canal. Although they are seldom dangerous, they can recur. And are often a very painful intrusion indeed.
While we all have potential hemorrhoids, they don’t have to bother you. Doctors won’t tell you how to treat them yourself! They may recommend expensive hemorrhoid creams or even worse, surgery. But there are other options available to you! Do you have the time to sift through the endless recommendations? And look at first-hand accounts available on the internet? Trying and testing them for yourself, you may be fortuitous enough to stumble on one or two that work to provide the relief you’re desperate for.
But why wait until you’re desperate? I started my journey into self-treatment years ago. Through trial and error, I found what works and more importantly, what doesn’t. Now, I want to share that knowledge. Because no one deserves to suffer the way I watched my father-in-law suffered. Especially not when there is a way to live pain-free. Without expensive “cures” that treat the symptom, rather than the cause.

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), which includes acupuncture and Chinese herbs, maintains a holistic perspective aimed towards resolving what is causing the hemorrhoids while also providing relief and improving a person’s quality of life.
(TCM) divides hemorrhoids into 3 stages:
TCM treats a variety of physical and emotional ailments that can lead to hemorrhoids. It uses different treatment methods to promote and increase the healing response of the body. This in turn helps heal the hemorrhoids.
It takes a multifaceted approach to alleviate this ailment naturally without the use of Western medication(s).
Acupuncture provides significant and long-lasting relief to people suffering from this condition. When a licensed acupuncturist treats people with hemorrhoids, he or she collects important and relevant information about the patient’s health history and presenting symptoms. The practitioner will use this data and combine it with other information such as tongue and pulse diagnosis. Once this is accomplished, the practitioner will prescribe a TCM diagnosis and treatment plan that can include acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional guidance and other modalities that benefit and expedite the healing process.
From a Traditional Chinese Medical perspective, there are five major patterns that can cause hemorrhoids. These dis-harmonies range from damp heat, Spleen Qi deficiency, Spleen Qi sinking or not holding the blood in the vessels, blood stasis, intestinal dryness and intestinal wind. A licensed acupuncturist will employ differential diagnosis to ascertain which disharmony is present and then work towards resolving it.
