5 Natural Remedies for Anal Itching

1. Birthwort, a Natural Remedy for Anal Itching

Before you follow this home remedy with birthwort, know that this medicinal plant can be toxic, so you need greater care when working with it. Thus, please follow the steps below closely:

  • Soak 2-3 handfuls of fresh birthwort in 2 liters of cold water for a few hours.
  • Strain the cold maceration and set it aside, and put the soaked birthwort in another 2 liters of water.
  • Simmer the plant for 20 minutes.
  • Allow for the decoction to cool down, and when it is warm, combine it with the cold maceration.

How to Use

Pour the combined infusion into your washing basin and take a 20-minute sitz bath in it. Make sure that your pelvic area is submergen into the infusion. After you pour the combined infusion into the basin, add more hot water over it so that it doesn’t get too cold for a sitz bath. Have one of these sitz baths every other day, and you’ll see that after a few baths the anal itch is gone. This simple natural remedy for anal itching is also recommended for rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, anal polyps, as well as some genital conditions. Birthwort is one of the most powerful healing herbs and one of the top natural remedies for anal itching.

2. Sitz Baths for Anal Itching

Alongside the birthwort sitz baths, there are many other medicinal plants that you can use to make really effective sitz baths to alleviate the anal itch. One of these simple sitz baths is with bicarbonate and here is how to make it. Every evening take a warm to hot sitz bath in which you add 2 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate. Bathe for as much time as you can, before the water turns cold, and then anoint the area with a natural calendula salve.

Another amazing plant for sitz baths is yarrow. To prepare this sitz bath, boil a pot full of water. When it has started to boil, turn the fire off and add a handful of yarrow flowers to it. Leave the flowers to infuse for 15 minutes. Then strain the infusion and pour it into your washing basin to start the bath. Do these baths in the evening and then go directly to bed and stay as warm as possible. You can use a towel to wrap around your pelvic area to stay warmer.

In order to see results, usually, 20-30 baths yarrow sitz baths over the course of the next 20-30 days are usually needed. You can reuse every yarrow infusion once. Other herbal sitz baths for anal itching that really work are fir, thyme, wormwood, marigold, and chamomile. These herbs are amongst the most effective natural remedies for anal itching. After washing, apply a natural salve to the area.

3. Propolis & Comfrey Remedy for Anal Itching

Pour the propolis extract into an uncovered glass until the alcohol has evaporated, and you are left with a smooth paste. Combine the obtained propolis paste with 50 g of natural comfrey salve.

Pour the propolis and comfrey salve in a cream container, and keep in the fridge. Use this salve to anoint the area two times a day, in the morning and evening, after a thorough washing. Usually in 2 weeks of use you will see the itch gone. Alongside, have 2 cups of yarrow tea daily. Propolis is a natural disinfectant for the skin, which is why this is one of the best natural remedies for anal itching.
