Introduction

Hemorrhoids are dilatations of veins, varicose
veins in the anus and lower parts of the
rectum. The blood vessels around the anus
and rectum swell and may bulge.
Internal hemorrhoids cannot be seen or felt.
External hemorrhoid is around the anus and
is painful. Internal hemorrhoids may bleed but
the pain is not felt because there are only few
nerves there.

Herbs and Fruits for Hemorrhoid
Treatment
Basil
Basil (Ocimum spp) is a culinary herb
belonging to the family Lamiaccae. It is a
scented plant attaining a height of about 30-
60 cm when mature. The leaves have a strong
aromatic scent. It is available worldwide and is
a native of Africa, India and Asia.

Basil is cultivated and also grows in the wild.
It has been used in traditional medicines for
ages. Basil oil is used in aromatherapy for
stress, migraine, cold and hay fever. Basil tea
is good for digestion, constipation, and
diarrhoea. Externally, they have been applied
for the treatment of acne, insect stings, and
skin infections.

It has been used as a general detoxifier, to
lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels
and cholesterol.
Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil) has been
reported to exhibit antibacterial activities
against a wide range of gram-negative and
gram-positive bacteria. It also has antifungal,
anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
activities.
The leaves have been traditionally used to
cure ulcers and infections of the mouth. Holy
Basil is good for boosting up the immune
system. It protects from nearly all sorts of
infections from viruses, bacteria, fungi and
protozoa. O. sanctum has been reported to
possess very good anti diabetic properties.

Method 1
A hip-bath is used in this method. A bath is
the complete or partial immersion of the body
in water. Baths have a relaxing effect on the
body.
Use 60-90g of fresh basil leaves and flowers
per liter of water. Put the plant materials into
a glass or ceramic container that is heat
resistant.
5
Boil water in a kettle.

Remove the kettle from stove and pour enough
boiled water over the plant materials. Cover
the container and wait for 15-20minutes for
dissolution of the active constituents into the
water.
Filter through a strainer to separate the basil
leaves from the water.
Allow the filtered liquid to cool and become
warm to the point at which you can
conveniently insert your hands into the water
and keep it there without being hurt.
Pour the warm liquid preparation into a bath
or wide wash-bowl.
6
The prepared liquid herbal material is poured
into the bath or suitable basin to reach the
hips but should be kept under the navel.
There is a need to sit in the bath or wash-bowl
containing the prepared plant material. This
enables the plant material in the bath to make
contact directly with the skin and external
genital organs. Sit in the bath for 10 -15
minutes.
