Two other extracts are the sizzling hot cayenne pepper and the Butcher’s broom.

Butcher’s broom is another potent herbal treatment, just like the yellow sweet clover, rectal prolapsed and the first few days of anal abscess. The broom is an herbal root and this can be utilized by straining, boiling, mashing, and applying the puree or mush topically to the hemorrhoids. It promotes circulation not just to the hemorrhoids but to the other parts of the body as well.

Since it helps to promote normal blood circulation, healing time for the piles is shortened, leaving you feeling relieved in a shorter time.
