Research evidence(s)
Evidence 1
Some discussions in the “alternative health” literature refer to nutritional approaches to haemorrhoids. For example, Gerras et al. (1976, pp 948-951) summarise Wissmer’s findings and also cite other work on the benefits of bioflavonoids which are found in certain berries, citrus fruit and buckwheat. They also mention an individual’s observation that eating onions prevents bleeding after bowel movements, and suggest the use of ointment with vitamins A, D and E for the relief of pain from haemorrhoids. (Dimmer, et al., 1996)

Onions are valuable in bleeding piles. About thirty grams of this vegetable should be finely rubbed in water and sixty grams of sugar added to it. It should be taken twice daily by the Patient. Onion is also useful in the treatment of dry piles. A crushed onion, skinned and roasted in aches, may be applied with beneficial results.
