In case of acute hemorrhoids, cold baths lasting 1-2 minutes can be used urgently. Dr. Kneipp also recommends sitting daily for 15 minutes on a thick, folded cloth previously immersed in cold water. As a supplement to the treatment, it is recommended to drink tea with blackthorn flowers, 1 glass per day brewed with 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs.
Sitz baths
Squeeze several heads of garlic (5 to 7) into water, squeeze a lemon through a juicer. Then take a very large saucepan, heat the infusion and add enough water to fill a large basin or bucket. Sit in it. The treatment should be continued until the garlic releases its essential oils. The procedure should be repeated several times, preferably every two days.
You need to chop 4 large onions and throw them into a saucepan. Pour in two liters of milk and heat the onions in the milk in the oven or over low heat. After waiting a quarter of an hour, put the pot in a bucket and sit on it. The procedure continues until the milk evaporates along with the onion mixture.

Ice compresses are applied to the anus for 15 minutes, then a 5-10 minute break and ice again. The treatment lasts up to 2 weeks. Ice icicles are also used to treat chronic hemorrhoids in the Caucasus. They are inserted into the rectum.
