Piles Gel (Aloe Vera)
Piles can be painful, irritating and embarrassing. Worst of all, piles (or haemorrhoids) can even become dangerous.
As piles are basically varicose veins of the anus, lifestyle changes to ensure regular and safe evacuation are extremely important preventative measures.
However, strengthening the walls of the blood vessels surrounding the anus and keeping the blood flowing smoothly will go a long way towards alleviating the inconvenient issues caused by piles, and to prevent the condition from deteriorating.
ALOE VERA LEAF juice contains anti-microbial and anti-viral substances which help to prevent infection of the affected area. In addition, Aloe Vera is known to reduce itching of irritated skin, and also helps to accelerate the healing of ulcerations.
GERANIUM OIL may exert a soothing, calming and astringent effect on the skin. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties and is a powerful anti-oxidant which aids in maintaining healthy, strong skin.
TEA TREE OIL is known as a highly effective barrier to skin infections due to its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-protozoal properties.
HORSE CHESTNUT has been prized by European cultures for many centuries, for its ability to strengthen veins and capillaries. These properties help to prevent and treat both varicose veins (including piles) and venous insufficiency.
ZINC is an important aid to healing wounds more rapidly, and with less scarring. Zinc also has stringent properties, helping to firm and strengthen the skin and mucosa.
MAGNESIUM applied to the skin, reduces inflammation and improves the local immune response. It is also essential for the optimal functioning of muscles and nerves, and may contribute to the overall health of the anal region.
