Milk thistle oil for hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are an unpleasant but very common condition affecting 25–40% of the adult population worldwide. However, no more than 15% of sufferers seek medical help.

Increased pressure on the veins of the rectum causes blood stagnation, enlargement of hemorrhoidal nodes, and weakening of supporting tissues, leading to protrusion and formation of hemorrhoidal lumps.
