Essential Oils for Hemorrhoids (External)

🌿 Essential Oils for External Hemorrhoids

Natural Aromatherapy Support for Discomfort, Swelling & Skin Relief

Hemorrhoids are a common condition affecting millions of people annually. Caused by swollen veins around the anus, they can result from straining during bowel movements, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, aging, or chronic constipation or diarrhea.*

Essential oils have long been used for their anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and skin-soothing properties, making them a gentle, natural approach to easing discomfort from external hemorrhoids.*

Note: Essential oils are suitable for external use only in cases of hemorrhoids. Never insert essential oils internally. For internal hemorrhoids, consult your healthcare provider.

🌿 Essential Oils Commonly Used for External Hemorrhoid Support*
