More than half of all adults will experience hemorrhoids. Nearly 3/4 of Americans will have to be treated for hemorrhoids. Those in the age group of 24 to 36 will have the highest rate of this disease. A hemorrhoid involves swelling of the veins in and around the anus. The swelling is painful and causes intense burning and itching sensation that requires people to look out for immediate relief.

Many medical treatments are available and surgery can also be considered as a last resort to cure hemorrhoids. There are many natural treatments available, too. 

Many people do not have sufficient fiber in their diets. This results in hard stools that are painful to pass. This results in the tissues surrounding the rectum getting strained and results in swelling and tearing of the tissues. This may also bleed and may require cauterization.

 People who eat foods that are rich in fiber have softer stools which are easier to pass out the system and do less damage. For this, one should consume many vegetables, grains and various fiber powders available over-the-counter and having ingredients that are natural.

 Witch Hazel is available in a majority of drugstores. It is sold as a distilled liquid, an ointment or a cream. Some stores even sell soft pads that are soaked in Witch Hazel.

 Witch hazel is obtained from the leaves and the bark of the Hamamelis Virginiana plant.

It does the work of an astringent that can stop the bleeding in case the hemorrhoids start bleeding.
