Best Way To Cure Piles And Fissure
1. Water
Apart from Ayurvedic products, water indubitably helps in getting rid of piles. Water transports the necessary nutrients to the cells present in your body and it gets rid of all the toxins from your vital organs. But, what is the correct quantity of water, which one must consume? 8 tall glasses or ounces minimum. So, to make it easier, just consume one glass per hour and you are all set. This remedy will not just prevent piles and fissure, but it will also improve your overall health and add a glow to your skin.
2. Cleanliness
A simple step, but an extremely important one nonetheless. Just like, if you are suffering from an injury, you keep the area clean to avoid infection. Hence, it is mandatory to prevent infection in the anus as it might lead to surgery. Therefore, take a shower at least once every day and clean your anus properly. You can use wet wipes or clean water.
3. Type of tissue
If you are someone who uses tissues, then it is better to switch to medicated wet wipes. Instead of being harsh like the regular dry tissue papers, they can soothe the skin of the anus and become less abrasive. Also, dab some baby powder on your anus, to keep the area clean.
4. A proper diet
As mentioned earlier, piles and fissure are mostly a result of incorrect bowel movement. Hence, consuming a well-balanced meal is the key to correcting this condition. Therefore, every day, consume fruits, veggies, beans, and whole grains. You can also search for ayurvedic products online.
5. Exercise
Are you wondering how exercise can work? First of all, regular exercise will benefit your overall health, immensely. It will also provide a way to reduce stress and anxiety. And, when you exercise, your heart pumps more blood and when the anus receives a proper quotient of blood, it can heal faster. However, anal fissure makes your exercise options limited. You can; Walk, do yoga, do stretching exercises, kayaking, canoeing, light housework, and gardening. However, avoid riding a bike, lifting heavy weights, sports that require running, other exercises that put a strain.
