WiseWays Herbals, LLC, Witch Hazel Suppositories, 12 Pack, 2.5 ml Each

I can’t use lidocaine so no over the counter medicines helped me. This was an absolute life saver when I had an anal fissure. You have to keep them in the fridge and try not to touch them more than you have to but they are easy to use. To soothe the fissure, I gently pushed the suppository in and out of the anus several times until it melted. It brought immediate relief. Along with that, I recommend doing all you can to relax the anus so it doesn’t have spasms that restrict blood flow. Massaging the tender areas below your ankle bones on the outside of your feet helps with blood flow to the anus. It’s a pressure point connected to that area. Good luck!

I can’t believe how well these work

PROS: Easy to use (not slippery) Work instantly So soothing Stay in Natural - no nasty chemicals Not tested on animals (perish the thought :O) CONS: You may get the tiniest bit of leakage. When melted they are yellow but it's not enough to get through to underwear. IN CONCLUSION: I just suffered with an impacted bowel (sorry tmi) which was very painful in many ways. My poor little bottom got so sore I just couldn't cope, but on using one of these the relief was instant. These would be great for anyone with piles, anyone who suffers with IBS, basically anyone who gets a sore botty. I certainly won't be without these now. They may seem expensive but when I think what I've wasted on expensive pile treatments that were full of chemicals and didn't do much versus these which brought immediate relief with just one suppository, they seem pretty good value. I would recommend everyone buy a pack to keep in the first aid cupboard just in case!!

Great product. Keep them in the freezer for easier usage! Recommending it!

This is my second purchase of these Witch Hazel Suppositories. I bought my first package last year, and I just used up my last one. As I was coming to the end I made sure to order more so they would get here just in time. Generally I deal with some fairly common GI complaints that caused me to try these out in the first place. I have IBS-C, and even though I do high fiber, water, exercise, daily magnesium, stool softeners, and prescription medication for this disease/syndrome, whatever it is, I do still have times when things become difficult and that can cause pain and swelling and similar symptoms. I, like most people who deal with such issues, have on hand all of the typical products from the local pharmacy – the creams, ointments and suppositories, but honestly I don’t really like them that much. More times than not they tend to make me feel MORE uncomfortable rather than resolving my discomfort. Maybe it just depends on the severity of my symptoms or what exactly I’m dealing with at the time – I don’t really know for sure. I just know I was at a point last year where I felt like I needed something “different”, something that was “cleaner”, with fewer ingredients, which could hopefully calm down some of my symptoms without any type of discharge or “warming/cooling sensations” (which may be preferable to some people under some circumstances, I understand, but is not what I was looking for). So I went on Amazon and eventually I found these witch hazel suppositories. They seemed to get good reviews for soothing flared “tissues” shall we say, without goopy creams or ointments, or even the melting often noted by myself and some others with the name brand suppositories that contain more active ingredients. When I got them I put them in the refrigerator as I have found that is the best way to keep these things intact and in the easiest form to insert. Also, the gentle coolness of That (the refrigeration) often helps bring some relief for the first few minutes. These do help with tender, painful, swollen tissues (piles, etc.), they help me to feel cleaner and more comfortable, and luckily I’ve only needed 12 in the past year, so that’s pretty good. Unfortunately, I just had a colonoscopy last week where a couple of polyps had to be removed, one on the larger side. I have been having quite a bit of discomfort at the removal site since the procedure. As we are still waiting for pathology results the doctor did not want to prescribe anything to help with this pain, but I did, thankfully, have several of these still on hand, and while they did not relieve all of the pain, they were definitely very helpful in taking the edge off it so I wasn’t completely miserable. I think they are a very good product, which I plan to have on hand at all times, so please don’t stop making them!! Thank you!!
