Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present. Little is known about the full effects of Thuja, so it is not recommended for medicinal use. Thuja can be poisonous if ingested in large amounts.
Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that Thuja helps to treat hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Very low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: No recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that St Johns Wort can help to treat hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: Strongly in favor (Clinical trials have shown that Psyllium is effective in treating hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: High quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present. Warning! All parts of the plant, Pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana), is poisonous and should not be ingested. Thoroughly cooking the plant reduces that toxicity. The effects of the improperly prepared plant include vomiting, diarrhoea, cramps, headache, confusion, convulstions, low blood pressure, heart block and death. Only plant extracts (PAP) or thoroughly prepared plants should be ingested, and even then, under professional medical guidance.
Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that PAP helps to treat hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Very low quality of evidence
Please note, this treatment has potentially serious side effects. Some of the chemicals in the plant are known to be toxic. High doses are known to cause liver and kidney. Even at low doses, chemicals in the plant may interfere with blood clotting, causing excess bleeding and anaemia. Pau D'Arco should be avoided, especially by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Recommendation: Strongly against (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that Pau D'arco helps to treat hemorrhoids. This, combined with its potentially harmful side effects if taken without supervision from a doctor or pharmacist gives enough reason to avoid this treatment.)
Grade of Evidence: Very low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: Weakly against (Available evidence does not support claims that Chamomile helps treat hemorrhoids. In addition, allergic reactions and side effects like cramps, itching, rashes and difficulty breathing can be relatively common)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: No recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that Black Walnut helps to treat Hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present. Little is known about the full effects of Thuja, so it is not recommended for medicinal use. Thuja can be poisonous if ingested in large amounts.
Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that HCSE helps to treat hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that witch hazel helps to treat hemorrhoids)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: Weakly in favor (Studies show that butchers broom may be beneficial to those hemorrhoids as it supports a healthy circulatory system. More studies are needed)
Grade of Evidence: Low quality of evidence
