┬аTips to prevent piles in Siddha Medicine:
FIBER FIBER FIBER!!!
Including fibers, especially insoluble fibers in diet per day will make stools soften. insoluble fibers absorbs water inside the colon and gives bulking of the passage without much effort to defaecate.
OIL BATH TO DE-STRESS.
Taking oil bath on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday for men,┬а will cool down the body and rectifies imbalances of tridoshas vatha, pitha and kapha. Also a proper oil bath gives relaxation mentally and reduces stress.
┬аKNOW WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT TO EAT.
As obesity is a risk factor for piles formation, try to avoid high fat content foods and Refined foods in all form. Reassess your diet for inclusion of fibers in the form of whole grains, pulses such as peas, lentils, green grams etc. Also take caffeine and alcohol in moderation.
LISTEN TO YOUR BOWELS.
Restrain from straining and putting pressure on anal pad veins. Do not postpone the nature’s urge and go when needed.
BOWEL CLEANING.
Cleaning the bowels for every four months by taking purgation medicine or laxatives is a healthy habit. Exercise care while using purgatives or laxatives, as use higher dosage or unsafe one for longer period can again take you back to hemorrhoids formation.
FOR BEST DIGESTIVE HEALTH SQUAT TO DEFAECATE, DO NOT SIT.
Humans are designed to squat to defaecate, not to sit. In the squatting position, gravity does most of the work. The weight of the torso presses against the thighs and naturally compresses the colon. Gentle pressure from the diaphragm supplements the force of gravity.
Sitting to evacuate your bowel requires you to apply additional force (straining), which has some unwanted biological effects, including a temporary disruption in cardiac flow. So, avoid sitting to evacuate bowels, instead squat.
YOGA POSES TO PREVENT, MANAGE AND CURE PILES.
Yoga is a wholeness exercise that can heal both the mind and the body. practicing yoga asanas greatly reduces stress and constipation, resulting in healthy digestive system. Few asanas like┬а Matsyna Asana, Mala Asana, Sarvangasana etc helps to prevent piles and its associated problems.
