Hemorrhoids are one of the most common—and most uncomfortable—circulatory conditions affecting adults, yet they are often misunderstood and poorly treated. This class explores hemorrhoids not as a surface-level problem, but as a downstream result of venous congestion, digestive stress, and impaired circulation—particularly involving the liver and portal vein system.
Students gain a clear understanding of why hemorrhoids form, why conventional approaches often fail to resolve them long-term, and how natural medicine systems have successfully addressed this condition for centuries. Drawing from Western herbalism, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine, the course outlines practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies that support circulation, tissue integrity, digestion, and long-term relief.
This class is ideal for individuals experiencing recurrent hemorrhoids, as well as students and practitioners seeking a deeper, physiology-based framework for assessment and natural care.

Hemorrhoids affect a significant portion of the adult population and are among the most common circulatory complaints of modern life. In natural medicine, hemorrhoids are understood as a form of varicose vein—specifically involving the rectal veins—and closely connected to venous back-pressure, liver congestion, digestion, and lifestyle factors rather than isolated local irritation.
This course examines hemorrhoids through anatomy, physiology, and traditional medical systems, emphasizing why symptoms often recur when treatment focuses only on topical relief or surgical intervention. Students learn how impaired circulation through the portal vein, sluggish bile flow, constipation, inflammation, and weakened connective tissue all contribute to hemorrhoid formation and persistence. The class also explores why internal approaches that support circulation and tissue tone are far more effective than symptom-only care.
The material integrates time-tested food strategies, herbal categories, and constitutional patterns used across major traditional healing systems, offering a clear, methodical approach to addressing both symptoms and root contributors.
What you’ll learn:
The difference between internal and external hemorrhoids and how each develops
The role of liver congestion, portal vein pressure, and venous circulation
