Ok this one came from a DM (thank you for trusting me with this 🙏). Castor oil's actually been used as a folk remedy for this for generations. The ricinoleic acid in it is known for its anti-inflammatory affects, so applied topically it may help ease itching and swelling. Clean the area first, apply a small amount of pure organic cold-pressed castor oil (hexane free) with a cotton pad, 2-3x a day. Constipation is one of the biggest causes of hemorrhoids (straining = pressure on those veins). Important: external use only, always patch test first. This is NOT a clinical cure, if you're experiencing bleeding, severe pain, or no improvement after a week or two, please see a doctor/medical professional 💛 Pregnant or on medication? Check with your doctor first, especially since castor oil has other uses that affect pregnancy. #castoroil #hemorroides #fy
