There have been a number of replies to posts regarding the use of raw honey to treat hemorrhoids, fissures, and other problems associated with the purpose of this community. I've never used honey for my personal treatment so I was curious if the suggestions were based on fact or folklore. Turns out it's good advice (they used a 1:1:1 mixture of honey, olive oil, and beeswax) with almost zero negative side effects according to a comparative study done by scientists and physicians!

Like most things hemorrhoid related, YMMV and what works for some won't work for others.  I think its such a low cost and accessible option, its worth the shot.   i haven't tried, but anecdotally have seen people recommend it continuously over time.

Yeah I previously watched this video and he said they use packets of sugar in emergency situations but he wasn’t sure about Manuka or regular honey. If you go on Amazon they have a few comments on people saying Manuka honey is some kind of special honey with healing properties and you have to get a good quality.

I have tried it (alongside many other things) and got better.  It’s sticky of course but give it a go!

A group of likeminded people in Rhoid Rage (& recovery) are talking about this.
