5. Treat Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a serious problem that can be painful and even embarrassing. They can make it painful to use the bathroom, sit for long periods of time and even have intercourse with a partner. While changing your diet and taking laxatives to make stools softer can help, hemorrhoids can reappear and last for weeks or even months. They are caused by pressure on the veins around the rectum.
When you strain to use the bathroom or for other reasons, these veins can pop out and form the hemorrhoids. Over time they can become smaller and less painful as the swelling goes down. If you want to speed up the healing process and prevent new hemorrhoids from forming, consider adding Gingko Biloba to your diet. It increases blood flow and reduces the pressure that can build up in the veins and blood vessels around your rectum. It will help reduce inflammation so the hemorrhoids you have go away faster and new ones are less likely to form.
