Motherlove Rhoid Balm (1 oz) is a soothing balm that effectively shrinks hemorrhoids and relieves the embarrassing and irritating itching that ensues. And don't you love the name? This is the reprieve you'll beg for if you are plagued with hemorrhoids during and after pregnancy. Thank you, Motherlove, for creating Rhoid Balm.

What causes hemorrhoids during pregnancy, anyway? The veins around your rectum may become enlarged from the pressure of your baby and straining when having bowel movements. In addition to Motherlove's Rhoid Balm after the fact, you may want to try these remedies to help avoid the problem in the first place: avoid constipation by drinking more water, eat high fiber foods, avoid standing for long periods of time, and avoid heavy lifting. And regular exercise will help reduce hemorrhoids, too.

Motherlove Rhoid Balm is 96% certified organic by Oregon Tilth. It includes witch hazel leaf, plantain, yarrow, calendula, olive oil and beeswax. It is free of preservatives and artificial fragrances. You may use it as often as necessary to relieve your discomfort down there. We want you to be comfortable, because don't you have many more things you'd rather focus on?
