Treat Hemorrhoids

Hack: It can even help treat hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are painful and something you wouldn’t wish on anybody! So if you happen to have some right now, you might be glad to know that Vicks VapoRub can help you out. For small, itchy hemorrhoids, apply Vicks and let the menthol drown the itch out. But be sure that you can tolerate the burn first by testing Vicks on another part of your body, or on the palm of your hand. If it’s manageable, you’re good to go.

FYI: small hemorrhoids are likely to clear up without any treatment within a matter of days. But, large, external hemorrhoids can take longer to heal and can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. If hemorrhoids are not going away, it is best to see a doctor for treatment.
