Climbing flower EASES hemorrhoids

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had HEMORRHOIDS.

It’s okay, don’t be embarrassed if your answer is “YES.”

Because the reality is that about HALF of adults over age 50 have experienced the pain and irritation of hemorrhoids.

And getting rid of them isn’t much fun, either.

Over-the-counter topicals are messy (and embarrassing to buy) …

Stool softeners can help “loosen” things down there… but take too much and you’ll be BOLTING to the toilet all day…

Today I’ve got the scoop on how an extract from a soothing flower can help keep this embarrassing “backside” problem at bay.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a “climbing” vine with white and purple flowers that contain a bevy of natural, calming compounds.

Native to southeastern United States and Central and South America, passionflower is traditionally used to help with sleep.

Today many holistic and natural healers swear by passionflower for anxiety, insomnia, stress, ADHD, pain, and many other conditions.

Studies around this flower find that it creates a calming effect by increasing your levels of the chemical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)—which reduces the activity of cretain neurons that cause anxiety.

Now, the main cause of hemorrhoids is a poor diet (specifically one void of fiber).

But high levels of stress and anxiety can also cause your bowels to go haywire, which can contribute to hard stool, inevitably leading to the PUSHING and STRAINING that results in hemorrhoids.

But, as a topical application, passionflower naturally calms the area where hemorrhoids develop. And the less “stress” you have down there, the quicker things get back to normal.

The soothing extract of passionflower can easily be found at most vitamin and health food stores… including in tinctures that can easily be applied directly.

Just be sure to use the dosage listed on the label.

If you have a history of recurring hemorrhoids, discuss with your healthcare practitioner how to proactively prevent them… specifically as part of a healthy diet.

To eliminating hemorrhoids,
