is ghee good for piles - #41567
I am really at my wits end here! For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with some pretty bad piles, and it’s just such a pain in the you know what. Literally! I tried a bunch of over-the-counter stuff but nothing seems to work. A friend mentioned that ghee might help, and now I’m wondering, is ghee good for piles? I mean, I’ve seen in some articles that it can be soothing and has some healing properties. But I’m also a bit skeptical. Like, how does it actually work? Do I need to just apply ghee to the affected area, or should I be consuming it too? I’m not really sure what the right approach is here. Also, I’ve read mixed opinions on it, some people swear by ghee as a remedy and others think it can just make things worse? Ugh, it’s confusing. Oh! And I’ve recently started incorporating some Ayurvedic practices into my routine – like more fiber and herbal teas – but I really want to know if ghee fits into the picture. I just want some relief! Has anyone had success with ghee for piles? Would love to hear experiences or advice. Thanks!

Ghee, or clarified butter, is indeed referenced in Ayurveda as a beneficial substance, but its use should be thoughtful, especially for piles (hemorrhoids). From an Ayurvedic perspective, piles are known as “Arsha” and are considered an imbalance primarily caused by poor digestion and aggravated Pitta or Vata doshas, depending on symptoms. Ghee can be beneficial due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which can be utilized both internally and externally.
Internally, ghee aids digestion by balancing the digestive fire (Agni) and can help in lubricating the digestive tract, potentially easing constipation – a common culprit in aggravating piles. You can try consuming 1-2 teaspoons of ghee with warm milk before bedtime. This can help keep your bowels smooth and pass stools more comfortably, reducing strain during bowel movements.
Externally, though not a traditional remedy, some still apply ghee around the anal region to reduce irritation and inflammation. Its soothing quality might provide temporary relief from burning or itching. However, entries in classical texts primarily highlight internal use, so external application should be done with caution.
While incorporating other Ayurvedic practices like fiber-rich diets and herbal teas can enhance your relief, be wary of your body’s unique constitution. Ghee has a lubricating quality which could potentially aggravate Kapha dosha if consumed excessively.
Listen to your body’s response; if consuming or applying ghee worsens symptoms, it’s best to discontinue and consult an Ayurveda practitioner for personalized advice. They’re equipped to adapt treatments specific to your dosha imbalance, and symptoms. For immediate relief and structured chronic care, it’s always wise to work alongside a healthcare professional, as persistent piles can lead to more complications. If symptoms persist or worsen, definitely seek professional medical help urgently.
