Anal fissure is a crack or tear in the anal area. The exact cause for this condition varies as much as the types of treatment. There are various medications available for anal fissure, some of which are prescribed by doctors, OTC and traditional medicine. Minor operation might also be an option for this condition but only if all other medications have proved ineffective. Going under the knife is considered the last option for anal fissure. Meanwhile, there are traditional medicines such as Ivy (Hedera helix) to treat anal fissure, as an inexpensive option.
One can find Ivy in North America, amongst its thickets and low grounds. The plan is poisonous but it can cure certain diseases such has rheumatism, paralysis and even amaurosis. The plant is uniquely more poisonous at certain times of the year and during the night. It is specifically more poisonous during times when the sun does not shine upon it. It has also been found that some people took to Ivy (Hedera helix) to treat anal fissure.
Homeopathy which uses plants as one of its main source of medicinal concoction in treating a particular illness believes that the lower the dose of medicine is given, the more effective it would be in the treatment of the disease. One of the other factors considered in homeopathy is that a drug can only cure something which it can produce in a healthy body. For several years now, homeopathy considers the plant kingdom as its main source of the medicine. One of the plants considered to be effective in treating diseases is Ivy or which has the scientific name of Hedera helix.
At present, the plant is considered to be effective in treating acute convulsions and delirium. It has also been used as stimulant and acts efficiently on blood vessels. In India, the extracts of the plant are used as purgative and diaphoretic. Hence people are using Ivy (Hedera helix) especially in alleviating pain since it can act on the blood vessels and its purgative attributes, which can ease pain brought about by hard stools.
Anal fissures can be very painful especially during constipation. Exerting effort will further widen the tear and brings pain to the patient suffering from said condition. For now however, the use of the Ivy (Hedera helix) to treat anal fissure is not that yet acceptable and popular, considering that the plant is considered mainly as poisonous. Nonetheless, there are scientific studies which can support the claim of its efficacy in the treatment of illnesses it has supposedly treated effectively. For your safety and peace of mind, it would be advisable to consult a certified homeopathy practitioner who can validate the claims of such herb or plant in the treatment of certain diseases.
Whenever you are uncertain as to the efficacy of a particular medication, whether homeopathy-based or prescribed by doctors, you should opt for safer measures and consult your doctor. Treating an illness with a medication that has not yet been scientifically supported nor acknowledged by medical experts is taking risks, which might not be logical in some cases.
