Natural External Relief That Supports Healing Without Surgery
Pain, burning, and swelling are the most disturbing symptoms of piles. Many patients say the pain after bowel movement affects their ability to sit, walk, or even sleep properly. In my many years of Ayurvedic clinical practice, I have seen that proper external oil application, when combined with internal treatment, provides remarkable relief in piles.
This blog explains the best Ayurvedic oil for piles, how it works, how to use it correctly, and why oil therapy is an essential part of piles treatment at home without surgery.
Why External Oil Is Important in Piles Treatment
Piles is not just an internal condition. The anal region becomes:
-
Inflamed
-
Dry
-
Sensitive
-
Painful
-
Prone to cracks and injury
Ayurvedic oils:
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Soothe burning
-
Shrink pile mass
-
Promote tissue healing
-
Improve blood circulation
External oils do not replace internal medicines, but they greatly improve comfort and healing speed.
Ayurvedic Understanding of Piles Pain & Burning
According to Ayurveda:
-
Vata imbalance causes pain, dryness, cracking
-
Pitta imbalance causes burning, inflammation, bleeding
Therefore, the ideal piles oil should:
-
Pacify Vata (reduce pain and dryness)
-
Balance Pitta (cooling, anti-inflammatory)
-
Support wound healing (Ropana)
