Hemorrhoids is a common problem among people usually lacking fibers in their diets and also due to the prolonged constipation. Almost every adult in a country eventually develop hemorrhoids - half of us have them by age 50. It is now estimated that over 25 million Americans are affected where as in Pakistan 25% of population is suffering from hemorrhoids. One day as I was searching about different diseases in Pakistan I came to know that atleast one family member of almost every family suffers from this painful disease in Pakistan. I concluded that a medicine should be made for this disease so that a person should be safe from any type of expensive surgery. Curcuma zedoaria and Cassia absus are the herbs that are effective and helps in prevention and cure of hemorrhoids. The herbs are used for different medical purposes in different parts of the world.
