Dr Cole's Hemorrhoid Treatment - Organic Herbal Ointment for Soothing Relief – Natural Balm for All Types of Internal & External Hemorrhoids – Gentle, Plant-Based Formula – 2 oz

This is never fun to talk about but it happens to many of us at one time or another. Unfortunately, I got a very painful hemorrhoid recently, let's say Monday for a timeline, and came looking to Amazon for a healthier, and maybe more environmentally friendly, alternative to what is offered regularly in stores. After reading some really helpful reviews by people who suffer tremendously from this condition, including people who have had to have surgical intervention in the past and finding relief in this product, I was on board to try. Dr. Cole's claims of of organic, non-GMO, cruelty free, and so on, is right up my alley. I ordered it but it wasn't going to arrive until Wednesday.On Tuesday I ended up in a drug store and had to seek something for relief. I had tried a mild homemade fix that didn't work. So, I bought the standard Tucks and Prep H to try to hold me over. They helped some with the pain and itching, but not that much, and didn't shrink the 'roid in the five or so treatments I applied, including overnight.I was out until quite late Wednesday and came home to this miracle jar. You see where this is going, I imagine. I was a little disappointed I had to mix it before use, but better to be safe than sorry, was my thought. I cleansed the area as well as I could to remove the other products and applied my first treatment for overnight. It's now Thursday night, about 24-hours later, and I think I applied it 3 times today, and my 'roid is all but gone. I was honestly considering skipping this evening but I decided, like antibiotics, better to have a little more than you think you need to really knock your ailment out. My only criticism is that the balm started feeling a little thin and uncomfortable several hours after applying it, but it just encouraged me to cleanse and reapply a couple times, which is probably better anyway. And maybe that's normal for creams and balms, I haven't had to use them for this in some time. See Update 2. Previously: The balm got on my soap pump when washing my hands after application so I just washed the soap bottle, too...Update: this product is still awesome. It really helps resolve things in just a few days, sometimes less.Update 2: still awesome and a couple Q-Tips do the application job even better than my fingers. Plus, balm doesn't get on anything else. Love!!!

I've tried all brands. Dr Coles Hemorrhoid Treatment is the only one that works for me. It works right from the first application with no odd ingridients, no foul odor and without any burning. Very confortable and quick soothing relief. Only issue; Make sure to purchase the Hemorrhoid Treatment packaged in the small Round TIN. The suposed to be same product packaged in the PUMP style packaging doesn't seem to work as well for some odd reason, which is quite odd....? The pump type is a white cream as opposed to the (original) round Tin which is a green wax gel, so perhaps the base or some other changed ingridient keeps it from working as well as the original formula in the TIN. (???) Too bad, because the pump packiaging is sooooo much easier to use and also to travel with. The TIN is a PITA to open. Butthe bottom line is Dr Coles Hemorrhoid Treatment packaged in the TIN container is the best product out there!

The discomfort hemorrhoids create makes everyone yearn for a solution without having to seek treatment from a doctor. This product does a nice job of providing instant relief for mild to painful cases but it has a downside that prevents me from giving it five stars. I found the relief it provided is slightly better than another product I use-Tucks. As to how long the relief lasts with each product I lack any real method of comparison. I can only say for myself this product seemed to help with my symptoms for several hours and Tucks lasts about the same. However, the cost of this product compared to Tucks is not the same. This product averages around $12 an ounce or about $25 for a tin. From that tin I suspect you could get about 100 applications. For around $7 you get 100 pads of Tucks. If money is a concern due to frequent usage you might want to sample both products and make your own decision but for me this works well, just costs a bit much.

I finally broke down and visited my doctor for a bout of hemorrhoidal issues that I thought were due to a new prescription medication. She told it was not, and that my only real option was to treat it with over the counter medications. She recommended the silver PH but I was not willing to drop $30-40 every week for this name-brand cream. I turned to google, which suggested Dr. Cole's balm as one of the top hemorrhoid treatments. I scoffed a bit at the price, but compared to the drug store brands, it was worth a try. I AM A BELIEVER! Within minutes of applying the balm, the pain and itching stopped. I am now on day 3 and there is zero pain or other symptoms and things seem to be finally healing (it's been nearly 2 weeks). DO MAKE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS and mix the product thoroughly before using.The amount of product received is definitely worth the money! Very happy with this find, I highly recommend giving this a try if you've had enough with expensive drug store treatments that just seem to mask the symptoms rather than heal.
