A good home treatment of hemorrhoids is to eat lots and lots of fresh fruits like cherries, grapes, watermelon, mangos, grapefruits, prunes, bananas, apples and oranges along with green leafy fresh vegetables, legumes, whole wheat products etc. Drink gallons of water, fresh fruit juices and a glass of hot milk early in the morning or before going to bed at night. Once a week you can consume a spoonful of husk/isabgool mixed with water or milk. This will clear out your bowel and help keep hemorrhoids at bay.

Sedentary lifestyle is another cause of hemorrhoids and many other conditions. So it is extremely important that you indulge in physical activities like swimming, brisk walking, running, jogging, or exercising or doing yoga daily. Yoga can cure piles or hemorrhoids.
