12. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a popular essential oil that carries a wide number of benefits. Not only is this rich in anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, but it also has a mint-like cooling effect. This can provide instant relief and relax the whole area, even numbing some of the pain and desensitizing the piles to pain.
At the same time, using any oil like this can also provide the benefit of lubrication. As anyone suffering from piles will know, the issue is most pronounced when you have to pass stool – which can be very difficult to do!
By applying a little eucalyptus, you can help this to slide through easily and painlessly!
