There are a variety of recommended remedies for Pruritus Ani, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other health issues that result in chronic and severe rectal itching... but what is the best treatment to relieve these symptoms? I've struggled with an insanely itchy anus for over 7 years now... 2 doctors and dozens of creams, ointments, powders, and prescriptions later and I was still incredibly desperate for a true Pruritus Ani CURE!! However, 5 months ago I was researching alternative methods to stop the itching and came across this ointment called PRANICURE... Has anyone heard of this? Looked sketchy at first because you can only get it online but rolled the dice and tried it... UNBELIEVABLE!! I can sleep at night, I'm comfortable throughout the day at work, and don't have to scratch. Pranicure is seriously the only thing that works for me, I just apply it as needed and probably use it a couple of times per week. Such a dramatic change... has anyone else tried this for Pruritus Ani or hemorrhoids? Would love to get your thoughts on it...
Instructions:
1. Aloe Vera
We love aloe vera for just about every kind of skin irritation. Aloe is probably best-known for its ability to heal sunburns, but it’s extremely versatile as it soothes the skin and relieves swelling and irritation. If you live in Southern California, there’s probably an 85% chance it’s already growing in your yard.
How to use it: Break off a leaf from the plant, and cut it open lengthwise from top to bottom with a knife. Scoop out the gooey gel inside, and rub it directly onto irritated skin. If you have extra left over, you can keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
2. Fruit Peels
Silvana, the Gerson Institute’s Director of Education, also turned me on to a cool trick. Rub bug bites with a banana peel. Another Gerson staffer also suggested watermelon rind.
This is a great way to re-purpose kitchen scraps that might otherwise be thrown out! But, this method does have a potential drawback: the fruity scent may attract bugs. This may be a better choice for using indoors.
How to use it: Rub peel or rind onto the affected area.
