Hemorrhoids Relief and Treatment
posted by Mary Blythe on 21 Jan 2012 at 7:04 amHere are two other great tips for the relief of hemorrhoids:
1, Do not stay seated for more than an hour at a time. Sitting puts pressure on hemorrhoids and a little exercise will help to relieve that pressure.
2, Avoid processed foods that contain additives and chemmicals. These are harder for the body to digest and can contribute to constipation which iritate hemorrhoids.
