Herbs & plants: Topical application of witch hazel has potential. Do not sit on toilet prolonged periods. Eat oatmeal for breakfast to keep stools soft or else use metamucil for softer stools that do not batter their way through the anus, like firm stools sometimes do, & thereby injure rectal tissues that harbor rectal veins. Swollen and fractured veins are source of hemorrhoid signs & symptoms.
