subject: New Study Indicates That Pycnogenol Works As A Hemorrhoid Treamtment [print this page] A new study published in a recent issue of Phytotherapy Research indicates that Pycnogenol (pic-noj-en-all) has anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic properties that may be beneficial in treating and preventing hemorrhoids.
Pycnogenol is an antioxidant plant extract derived from the bark of a pine tree that grows in southwestern France. The extract, which has been studied for the past 40 years, contains a number of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids that offer extensive natural health benefits.
In this study, both topical and oral Pycnogenol treatment reduced the intensity and duration of hemorrhoidal pain and bleeding. Pycnogenol even reduced the number of procedures and hospital admissions caused by severe cases, said Professor Peter Rohdewald, a co-author of the study.
According to the study Pycnogenol decreased or eliminated hemorrhoidal bleeding and decreased pain for patients who took it orally and topically. For patients who took Pycnogenol there was a decrease in the number of lost working days and fewer treatment costs in the following month.
This study clearly indicates that Pycnogenol is an effective, natural solution in controlling this common, disabling problem and may contribute to relieve hemorrhoidal attacks and offer pain relief, said Professor Rohdewald. Individuals never affected by hemorrhoids cannot imagine what people go through. Hemorrhoids can affect every aspect of your daily routine; it represents a tragedy most people dont realize."
Pycnogenol dietary supplements are already available in health food stores, pharmacies and online. A topical formula specifically for the treatment of hemorrhoids is being developed. Further studies are currently researching how Pycnogenol can be used to prevent hemorrhoid attacks.
