| his preparation contains
hamamelis water, more commonly
known as witch hazel.
Hamamelis acts as an
astringent. Astringents are
commonly used in haemorrhoid
preparations as they cause the
cells they are in contact with
to shrink and dry out. This
causes shrinkage of the
haemorrhoid, thereby relieving
the associated pain and
discomfort. Haemorrhoids occur
when veins in the wall of the
rectum become swollen and
irritated. They may cause
itching, irritation and pain
on passing stools. This
preparation is used to relieve
these swollen tissues and to
act as a lubricant to ease
painful bowel movements when
the skin is dry and sore.
