The two herbs that we want cover in this article are: Lesser Celandine also referred to as Pilewort and Witch Hazel.
Lesser Celadine, Pilewort The Lesser Celandine plant has been called the Pilewort plant.
Pilewort is an old remedy for hemorrhoids and it has recently been re-introduced as a remedy.
It helps to reduce hemorrhoid pain and shrink hemorrhoids through its use as an ointment or suppository.
Supposedly the knobbly tubers of the plant resemble piles, and according to the Doctrine of signatures this resemblance suggests that Pilewort could be used to cure piles (another word for hemorrhoids).
Note: For those of you not familiar with the Doctrine of signatures, it is a philosophy shared by herbalists from the time of Dioscurides and Galen.
The philosophy is still reflected in the common names of some plants whose coincidental shapes and colors reminded the gatherers of such herb samples of the parts of the body where they could do good.

S.
The formula can be taken internally as well as externally.
Witch Hazel is also sometimes known as Hamamelis, snapping hazel, winter bloom, spotted alder or tobacco wood.
Since some formulas are meant for external uses and some for internal consumption, READ all package labels before using Witch Hazel.
