To effectively manage piles without surgery, let’s focus on balancing your doshas, especially vata and pitta, which are often involved in this condition due to their roles in digestion and inflammation. First, continue with the fiber-rich diet and water intake, as this supports the agni, or digestive fire, by preventing constipation which can irritate piles.
Ayurvedic herbs can be quite beneficial. You might consider taking Triphala, a traditional formulation known for maintaining bowel health. Mix about one teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water and take it before bedtime. This can gently cleanse and support your digestive system.
Topically, coconut oil or sesame oil have soothing properties. Applying these oils gently on the affected area may reduce discomfort. Additionally, try Sitz baths using warm water infused with neem leaves. Boil a few neem leaves in water, let it cool to a comfortably warm temperature and sit in it for around 15 minutes daily. Neem possesses natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities.
You can also introduce buttermilk with a pinch of rock salt and roasted cumin seed powder into your diet, which can help balance pitta and support digestion. Keep an eye on spicy and fried foods, as they can aggravate pitta, leading to more discomfort.
Consider gentle yoga and pranayama exercises focused on the abdominal area to promote better circulation and digestion. Practices such as Vajrasana and deep breathing can be quite helpful.
However, if you notice severe pain, bleeding, or if symptoms persist, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional as this condition sometimes requires medical attention beyond home remedies. It’s important to ensure there is no underlying condition that needs urgent treatment.
