Dealing with discomfort from hemorrhoids can be distressing, but there are natural remedies known for their soothing properties that may provide relief. Among the best essential oils for hemorrhoids, frankincense, lavender, and juniper stand out for their calming and healing effects.
Below we will explore these essential oils and discuss various application methods to help you alleviate discomfort and find relief.
Frankincense: A Sacred Soother
Frankincense essential oil has been treasured for centuries for its therapeutic benefits. It is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it an excellent choice for soothing hemorrhoids.
Dilute a few drops of frankincense oil in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil, and gently apply it to the affected area using a clean cloth or cotton ball. Its comforting scent may also help calm your senses during this time.
Lavender: Gentle And Calming Relief
Lavender essential oil is well-known for its gentle and calming properties. Applying diluted lavender oil to the affected area can help reduce irritation and promote a sense of relaxation.
This versatile oil is gentle on the skin and may provide temporary relief from discomfort. Be sure to mix a few drops of lavender oil with a carrier oil before topical application.
Another way to use lavender essential oil to soothe hemorrhoids is through bath salts. One of the products we offer at Better Bath Better Body is the Sitz Bath Soak, which is infused with pure lavender, frankincense, juniper, and niaouli essential oils. It comes in two- and eight-pound bags as well as a 40-lb bucket.
Juniper: Cooling Comfort
Juniper essential oil offers a cooling sensation that can bring much-needed relief to hemorrhoids. Its natural astringent properties may help reduce swelling and discomfort in the affected area.
Dilute juniper oil with a carrier oil and gently apply it topically to experience its cooling effects. Always perform a patch test before using juniper oil to ensure your skin's compatibility.
