Treat not cure: Hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus (external) and rectum (internal). As such, it is difficult to completely cure the condition. First try to identify the cause or exacerbating factors ( intra abdominal pressure - pregnancy, constipation, etc). Treatment will depend on the location and there are a variety of approaches and techniques.

Hemmorhoids: It is a very common problem, not to worry. Can be related to either constipation or diarrhea. Hemorrhoids should be evaluated by a colo-rectal or general surgeon you will require dietary, bathroom habit modifications and sometimes office based procedures if medical management is ineffective.

Considerations...: "healing" depends on whether the original cause for hemorrhoids persists. Have you been straining at stool, have rectal dysfunction, perform an activity that increases pelvic engorgement with blood or increases pelvic pressure (heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, etc.)? Have your hemorrhoids been surgically or medically managed (& with otc or prescription drugs)? Are you sure they're hemorrhoids?
