Internal hemorrhoids are accompanied by an increase in nodes in the area of the plexus of the superior hemorrhoidal veins located inside the anal canal. As a result of impaired blood circulation, the nodes become inflamed, may fall out and bleed even with slight straining.
Pain in the internal type of the disease is mild, since the veins lie under the weakly innervated mucosa.
Prolapsed nodes are at risk of developing necrosis when the sphincter is pinched, and therefore require particularly careful treatment with rectal medications.
How to treat hemorrhoids with sea buckthorn oil and what results does this remedy give for inflammation of the internal nodes? In the mild stage, the oil is recommended to be consumed internally to strengthen the body and activate its own immune reactions.
In case of intense inflammation, additional microenemas are recommended.
The use of products with sea buckthorn is allowed in any phase of the disease. The natural product and its derivatives have the following effects:
- Suppression of the inflammatory process in the venous nodes and adjacent tissues;
- Regeneration of the mucous membrane;

External hemorrhoids develop in the lower venous plexus, located in the area of the external sphincter. The external nodes are surrounded by epithelial anoderm, in which many nerve endings are concentrated.
With inflammation, the nodular formations become dense and hyperemic, the pain syndrome is intense, traces in the stool and painful defecation are observed.

In addition, in cases of external nodes, sea buckthorn oil for the treatment of hemorrhoids can also be used in the form of:

There are several recipes for ointments with sea buckthorn. The most effective and proven method involves using equal amounts of:
- sea buckthorn oil;

The procedure is carried out in a horizontal position, lying on your side. You need to lie there for at least thirty minutes after administering the microenema. This is necessary so that the product is better absorbed into the mucous membrane;
- suppositories - sea buckthorn suppositories for hemorrhoids can be made independently or purchased medications based on this substance;

The procedure is done before bedtime, and the tampon is left overnight. This therapy lasts at least two weeks.
