My dad has hemmoroids, says they are the worst thing you can imagine. He has to get them lanced by a doc.

Step one: Remove the bark from the tree.

Maritime Pine Bark extract is very bitter and astringent, so you’d want capsules if you want to try it. But, it does have several remarkable properties, including being one of the most powerful antioxidants you can get. It’s also an immune booster and anti-inflammatory, with reputed benefits in cancer therapy.

So, take all those in combination, and it makes a certain amount of sense that there could be benefit with hemorrhoids.

The only reason I have any familiarity with it, is that I ordered some from a holistic veterinarian for my dog, who had cancer. Didn’t want to subject him to anything too miserable, so I tasted of it myself. Turned my mouth inside out. Strong stuff.

It works!

I use pine bark mulch around my azaleas and they have never had hemorrhoids.

Let me ad:

Doctor: “I have good news and bad news. Your hemorrhoids are gone, but you now have a Pine Bark Beetle infestation”...

Boy was I glad when I saw the word “extract” in there.

I was dreading the idea of what to do with a pile of pine bark while sitting on the porcelain.

I think the most obvious way the pine bark works is that the termites chew away the excess tissue of the hemorrhoid.

Natural as opposed to what? A cheese grater?
