Chamomile for hemorrhoids has a beneficial effect on inflamed nodes. The use of decoctions and infusions for the treatment of hemorrhoids helps speed up the treatment and recovery of a person. Chamomile rarely causes adverse reactions, but it is still recommended to consult a doctor before using traditional recipes and methods.

What are hemorrhoids

This term refers to one of the most common vascular pathologies. According to statistics, 7 out of 10 people have it. Hemorrhoids are varicose veins of the cavernous bodies. As it develops, hemorrhoids form in the final part of the rectum.

In essence, cavernous sinuses are venous vessels. If there is a disturbance in the outflow of blood, it accumulates in the sinuses. Under the influence of pressure, the vascular walls relax. This causes the veins in that area to dilate. Thus, the formation of a hemorrhoidal node occurs.

As pathology develops, blood circulation often becomes impaired, leading to thrombosis. This is an acute stage of the disease that requires medical attention. In this condition, the inflammatory process develops, and the pain syndrome constantly intensifies.

When emptying the intestines, feces damage the mucous membranes. This provokes bleeding, which causes anemia. As a result, the nodes get pinched, which leads to discomfort in the anal area. As the symptoms increase, the person becomes afraid of bowel movements.

Depending on the location of the nodes, hemorrhoids can be internal or external. Each type of pathology is characterized by a specific clinical picture. In the first case, the nodes are located under the mucous membranes of the rectum and above the anal ring. In such a situation, pain occurs only after defecation. In difficult cases, nodes fall out.

If the inflammation is localized behind the anal ring, external hemorrhoids are diagnosed. It can be easily felt. In such a situation, pain, burning and itching occur when defecating, coughing or sneezing.

How to properly make a chamomile microenema

Usually, a quarter glass of the prepared decoction is enough for the procedure. It is best to carry out such activities before bedtime. No more than 10 procedures are allowed, performed once a day. It is also allowed to alternate microenemas from decoctions of different medicinal herbs. For example, mix with calendula or yarrow in equal proportions. Sequencing:

• Brew 2 tablespoons of raw materials with a glass of boiling water;
• leave for half an hour;
• filter;
• heat in a water bath for another 10 minutes;
• cool to ambient temperature;
• draw into a syringe, the tip of which must first be lubricated with any cream or Vaseline;
• Wash and dry the perineal area;
• take a lying position on your side, legs pulled up to your stomach;
• the anus can also be lubricated with Vaseline to facilitate the procedure;
• spread the buttocks slightly, carefully insert the tip of the syringe into the anus;
• press it and pour all the contents into the intestines;
• lie for at least twenty minutes on your side or stomach so that the liquid does not spill out. During this time, all active components are absorbed into the intestinal walls and begin to heal.

Important tips for microenemas
