Description
Western Herbal’s HemRelief features a century old, all-natural European hemorrhoid remedy. It contains witch hazel leaf, horse chestnut leaf and ginger root. HemRelief can treat the damaged vascular tissue of both external and internal hemorrhoids.
Horse chestnut has been traditionally used by herbalists to treat problems of venous circulation, including hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Horse chestnut seeds contain a saponin known as aescin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces swelling (edema). It promotes circulation through the veins and can strengthen the walls of the veins. Clinical studies suggest that oral horse chestnut can reduce swelling and pain.
Witch hazel is a natural astringent traditionally used in herbal medicine to strengthen veins. It can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by hemorrhoids. Ginger is a digestive aid known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It stimulates digestion and toning of the intestinal muscles.
