In winter we move less, drink less water and eat heavier, lower-fibre meals, which can lead to constipation and trigger haemorrhoid flare-ups. Stay well hydrated, keep fibre in your meals, keep moving with regular walks, take warm sitz baths and soothe any discomfort with a calming cream.
Hemorrhoids: Myths vs Facts
The truth about comfort and the power of gentle herbal skin care.
Can a cosmetic product help with discomfort from hemorrhoids in sensitive areas?
Yes, through local soothing of the skin. While hemorrhoids require attention to lifestyle, applying herbal extracts such as horse chestnut and smoke tree helps to soften, hydrate and relieve external areas. This effectively reduces the sensation of burning, dryness and everyday discomfort on the skin surface.
What is the discomfort associated with external hemorrhoids?
A sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and lack of movement often lead to tension in the lower body. When the skin in the perianal area becomes sensitive and irritated, it requires specific hydration and protection to restore its comfort.

Myths vs Facts
Why do external hemorrhoids require local hydration?
When external irritations are present, the epidermis in the sensitive area becomes extremely prone to cracking and drying out. Using a cosmetic product rich in softening ingredients creates a protective film. This not only provides immediate relief, but also helps the skin maintain its barrier function against external aggressors.
Statistics show that nearly 50% of the population over the age of 50 experience this problem, but in recent years the age threshold has been falling. Key factors include:
- 🟠 Inactivity and prolonged sitting
- 🟠 Dehydration
Maintaining good local hygiene and regularly applying soothing creams are the first steps towards restoring everyday comfort.
How do smoke tree and horse chestnut support the skin?
In traditional body care, smoke tree is valued for its astringent and soothing properties, which are ideal for sensitive skin. When combined with horse chestnut, which supports local skin tone, a powerful synergy is achieved. This combination contributes to visibly calming redness and reducing the sensation of discomfort with external forms of hemorrhoids.
