A precise definition of hemorrhoids maybe does not exist, but they can be described as masses or clumps (”cushions”) of tissue within the anal canal that contain blood vessels and the surrounding, supporting tissue made up of muscle and elastic fibers. Luckily there are viable treatments for hemorrhoids and in most cases they can be prevented. Since the condition of hemorrhoids almost always tends to get worse over time, safe, gentle and effective treatments for hemorrhoids are strongly suggested as soon as they show up.

At some time in their lives, almost 90% of American are bothered by hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids caused Napoleon to sit side-saddle, sent President Jimmy Carter to the operating room, and benched baseball star George Brett during the 1980 World Series. Over two thirds of all healthy people reporting for physical examinations are found have hemorrhoids.

It is important to start treating hemorrhoids and their causes when they first appear. There are good natural cures for hemorrhoids that have gotten very satisfactory results for many people.

You can easily find an over-the counter preparation that will give you temporary relief. However, your goals should be to first find out what caused your hemorrhoids and remove these causitive factors, then set yourself on a course of treatment/cure to make sure you will have hemorrhoids no more

You can most probably find a good treatment for hemorrhoids that will work for you.

You could also just ignore your hemroid problem until it gets really bothersome. Many do this, but most end up regretting it later. It’s fairly easy to treat and correct hemorrhoid problems at the outset.

Neglected and left alone, the problem can grow to where it is beyond simple, easy solutions. If they get bad enough, expensive (and painful) surgery may be your only alternative…

Camellia sasanqua comes into bloom this month. It is the earliest of the family to flower and, in bloom from now until December while few other shrubs are showing color, it is very desirable as well as charming and beautiful. The soft pink of the variety Apple Blossom, with its delicate flower with golden centers, is a striking and lovely plant. The semi-double, white is most floriferous and the deep rose is also good. The foliage is not quite so heavy as that of the standard camellias and the plants grow wider than tall and make good hedges, accents and specimens.

Fragrance is the chief merit of the Russian olives, Eleagnus pungens and E. fruitlandi. They are heavy growers and need much trimming, but the tiny clusters of creamy flowers spread their aroma far and wide.

Much work must be done. All the daffodils, scillas, Roman and Dutch hyacinths, camassias, crocus and muscari must be planted as early as possible. Use the strong trumpet and clustered narcissus along with chalice and short-cupped types in groups of 12 or more wherever space permits, and be sure to include the miniatures to give distinction and character to the groups.

Iris kaempferi is rightly called the “orchid of the Orient.” They grow well in a rich soil of leafmold and humus and wherever there is an abundant water supply which they can use during the blooming season. Almost any amateur can make an exotic iris garden with roots of the kaempferis. They multiply so rapidly that each season they must be divided and new plants set. The names are as fanciful as the colors and forms. Deep blues, mauves, purples, orchid, lavender, azure, rose and amethyst, with whites of spectacular brilliance, double and single, self-toned and marked with lines and blotches, make the choice almost unlimited masses of each variety make the most striking effect.

Iris of all kinds must be planted. If the old clumps are crowded, lift and replant at once. Then order ant plant as many of the fine new ones as the budget will allow. Give them a place apart in which to develop their wonderful grace and charm. Study the lists of advertisers and the reports from the iris experts. All the iris do well, and from mid-March to late May they add a veritable rainbow of color to the garden.

Roses need attention. Cut the dead flowers and wood, spray with a good insecticide and fungicide to remove rust rose species, and keep the mulches on. Feed now with a well balanced plant food and watch for the fall roses in their superlative radiance Tea roses need no spraying, but the plant; food will bring them into their lovely best.

Take rooted cuttings of evergreen candytuft, Phlox subulata, P. divaricata and P. canadensis, and fill in the edgings with these.

Remember the lilies which must be planted now. Lilium candidum, L. centifolium, the native white atamasco (Zephyranthes atamasco) and the soft pink Zephyranthes carinata will give you fine displays for a long season of bloom.

Seed your lawns now with recleaned Italian rye grass seed. Spread the seed with a lavish hand and do not cover. In about ten days the green shoots will appear and your green lawn for winter will be assured. Nothing adds more beauty to winter landscapes.
