Alleviate Hemorrhoid Treatment Ointment - 100% Natural Fast-Acting Cream to Relieve Discomfort - Calms and Soothes Burning, Itching, Bleeding Fissures and SwellingUSDA Organic

I've been a Crohn's Disease sufferer for about 3 years now. When it flare ups, I end up spending a lot of time in the bathroom - sometimes 8-10 trips a day. Because of that, I have developed both internal and external hemorrhoids which can sometimes become very swollen and highly irritated - almost torturous.For awhile, Tucks and Preparation H were sufficient to make things livable, but eventually the irritation escalated to the point I needed to look elsewhere for relief.I tried the Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment sold here on Amazon. It actually worked better than the Preparation H - the swelling went down significantly and the irritation seemed to reach a tolerable stage, but the odor many users spoke of in reviews was just too overpowering. Overpowering to the point I didn't feel going out in public while using it was a good idea. And the smell seemed to linger at home as well - especially in the laundry hamper and the trash where I was disposing of the rubber gloves I used to apply it.So, I went back to Amazon searching for something else and came across Alleviate. With only 4 reviews I was very skeptical and hesitant to give it a try especially at the $29.95 price point it was being offered at. But all 4 reviews were 5 star and I was desperate for a solution so decided to give it a shot. Glad I did.This stuff is amazing. I had immediate relief the first night I used it. Overnight, my hemorrhoids shrunk down to a size I haven't experienced in a very long time. And the itching was gone. I continued to use it for the next 3-4 days and saw improvement in all areas. I'm to the point now where I don't believe there can be any further improvement, but I'm hesitant to stop using it - the cooling, soothing effect it has is so pleasant and such a relief.The fact it is 100% organic is a plus for someone like me who is already laden with a steady diet of prescriptions and pills to keep my Crohn's Disease in check. And unlike the Chinese Musk product this has a nice scent to it - to me somewhat floral, but by no means overpowering.Also, as another reviewer mentioned, a little of this goes a long way. When I first started using it, I might have been a bit too liberal while squeezing the tube. After a few days, I could see that using less than half of what I did on day one was sufficient enough without losing the effects of the product.To anyone who is considering this, but leery because of the price tag - just do it. Put this in your cart and I promise you that you won't regret it. This stuff is really that good!Update as of March 21, 2014I just wanted to add that because of the success I've had with this product I have since ordered a second tube and plan on making Alleviate a permanent part of my daily regimen. Alleviate is fantastic and has been a godsend for me. I now have continuous relief from the pain, swelling, and irritation of hemorrhoids. It has enabled me to resume a more normal lifestyle and do many activities I couldn't do before - walking, bike riding, and golf to name a few.

Well if you are reading this then likely you have taken to the internet to find a backup plan for hemorrhoid relief that can't be bought at a box store, aka Prep H or tucks. I am in medicine, so am fairly skeptical about "all natural" cures. I have managed hemorrhoids on and off with over the counter. Until recently, I had a rather mean, itchy, painful guy I just couldn't shake. Likely, a thrombosed external guy. Damn, it was bugging me. So this sent me searching. Seriously, I was to the point of asking for a scalpel to excise this beast.Anyhow, I found this product on amazon and it had impressive reviews. I would say it is pretty costly, but I was in to give it a try, and also ordered their treatment capsules as well.One thing I do know is witch hazel is a pretty good anti inflammatory/ astringent so have had luck using it with cotton balls out of the bottle.Anyhow, I got this tube and applied. First off I tend to like lotion type PrepH as it is a lot cleaner to wash my hand after application. This is more of an ointment base. Ointments stick around well and coat better, but are oily and are tough to wash. That being said, there is some nice menthol like coolness to this.In conjunction I also used their oral capsules. Of course psyllium husk is used as a stool softener so this seemed to have some science base, and I noted the witchhazel powder. I figured it couldn't hurt.Anyhow, in three days my painful guy went away. Color me impressed. I don't like the price, but have used it since and really like it. Hands down worth it vs the over the counter. The capsules also help, but I have never really tried start psyllium husk to compare.I now use these in combination when I have an issue. Never had a better regime. I wouldn't have believed it but these are quality products and I would buy again.

Does what it suppose to . It helps heal and keep things under control.Try it.
