Epsom Salt Bath – The Soothing Home Remedy for Hemorrhoids
One of the most common treatments for hemorrhoids is a warm bath (also called a Sitz bath). Warm water surrounds the affected area to provide overall relief for swelling, itching, and burning symptoms of hemorrhoid flareups.
Epsom salt for hemorrhoids enhances the healing benefits of Sitz bath treatment.
How do Epsom Salts work?
A warm water soak alone cleans and calms symptomatic hemorrhoids, but adding Epsom Salts reduces inflammation and helps stop hemorrhoids at the source by relieving constipation, a major trigger of hemorrhoid flare ups internally and externally.
Soothe hemorrhoid symptoms such as swelling, burning, itching and inflammation with Doctor Butler’s proctologist approved hemorrhoid cleansers and treatments. These Epsom Salts will help to instantly soothe flare ups right after painful bowel movements with hemorrhoids.
How you care for your body determines how well you recover. We offer a whole line of specially-designed products to treat hemorrhoids.
A Blended Mixture of Peppermint and Eucalyptus
The scent of peppermint and eucalyptus is both pleasant and invigorating, but essential oils do more than just smell good. With each of these oils having such a potent fragrance, it’s no wonder that they also offer healing power.
Peppermint and eucalyptus oils work together to deliver anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain relief), and anti-stress benefits.
The peppermint and eucalyptus aroma reduces your stress as the essential oil’s healing properties go to work on inflammation, pain, and discomfort while cleansing the area of harmful bacteria.
Epsom Salt Soaks Help You De-Stress
Massages are ah-mazing, but scheduling one isn’t always possible. Any bathroom is turned into a relaxing spa with some aromatherapy, relaxing music, and a nice hot bath.
Adding our Epsom salts to your bath works on all of your sore muscles as the fragrant essential oils relax your mind.
End your stressful day (or week) with a rejuvenating soak in the tub. You deserve it!
How to Make an Epsom Salt Bath for Hemorrhoids
A Sitz bath is a warm bath for hemorrhoids. While optional, soaking in Epsom salts for hemorrhoids boosts the therapeutic benefits of the Sitz bath treatment.
Making a Sitz bath with Epsom salts is simple and easy. This works with either a bathtub or a Sitz bath device.
- For bathtubs – Empty one cup of Soothing Bath Salts with the stream of running warm water. Warm water is better than hot because inflamed hemorrhoid tissue is tender and sensitive. Fill about 4-5 inches.
- For a Sitz bath device – Mix a half cup of Soothing Bath salts into running warm water. Use just enough water to dip into without the basin overflowing.
- Lower your backside into the bathwater mixture for 20 minutes to receive the full benefit of the Epsom salt soak for hemorrhoids.
- Once soaking is complete, rinse off with warm water (without salts), especially the anal area.
- When you dry off, pat dry the anal area to avoid irritation.
When possible, have a Sitz bath after every bowel movement. Epsom salt for hemorrhoids isn’t required for a Sitz bath, but adding Soothing Bath Salts enhances the healing benefits of this treatment.
