| Are you one of the 50% - 70% of adults who | | | | remember all the fancy names, but I remember |
| suffer from hemorrhoids? If you are, you are almost | | | | rubber bands, lasers, and surgery with REAL scalpels |
| certainly here looking for some effective hemorrhoid | | | | being mentioned. Yes, the whole range from medieval |
| treatment options. And like me you'd probably want | | | | torture instruments to Star Wars weapons. And they |
| a hemorrhoid natural cure, if possible. | | | | wanted to use THOSE things - in THAT area! |
| Believe me I understand. I know how painful, | | | | "Couldn't we try aroma therapy first?" I pleaded with |
| inconvenient and embarrassing hemorrhoids can be. | | | | the doctor only half-jokingly. He obviously didn't have |

| many people saw that and were too polite to | | | | the bright sunshine as fast as I could. Surgery for |
| mention anything! | | | | hemorrhoids definitely wasn't my first choice. |
| And finally, as those hemorrhoids got worse, there | | | | "You need to see an herbalist", my friend said. Now I |
| was the pain when going the the toilet. The itching, | | | | don't know about you, but I have always figured |
