How to Use Essential Oils for Anal Fissures Pain

• Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree essential oil is one of the strongest antiseptics growing in nature, native to Australia. That makes it very effective for preventing infection—very much needed when one has an anal fissure. The oil not only helps the wound to heal but also reduces the risk of bacteria causing further irritation. I remember feeling so anxious about using something so potent on such a sensitive area and was amazed when it worked like a charm, mixed with carrier oil.

As for the application of the tea tree oil, one only needs to mix a few drops with a carrier oil, which can either be coconut or sardine fish olive oil. What follows next is the application of the remedy, which should be done once the area cleaned properly has been cleaned. Be cautious, though, as it might irritate you in case you use amounts that are on the high side.

• Oil of Lavender

The usage of lavender oil ranges from anti-inflammatory properties to skin healing. On those days when I used to get that sharp pain due to an anal fissure, lavender oil was my go-for. Instantly, it would calm the area, lowering soreness and hence accelerating recovery. The calm aroma complemented my relaxation bonus while trying to tackle discomfort.

Lavender oil can be mixed with a carrier oil and applied directly into the fissure. Or you might put a few drops into a hot sitz bath.

• Frankincense Oil

Honorable mention to the Frankincense oil for opening the door to extra healing paths other than wounding and inflammation. I used it to burn through my fissure, and I found it to be miraculous. No scar tissue is a sign that the treatment is working since the immune system is acting favorably in the area.

Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be mixed with frankincense oil and then massaged on the fissure, or you can use it in a sitz bath. It is soft but provides relief and encourages tissue regeneration.

• Chamomile Oil

Chamomile is a natural remedy used for soothing not only our brain but also our skin. It’s ideal for calming the inflamed blood vessels; thus, the anal fissure is healed and then the skin is soothed. If you’re angry because of the pain, chamomile oil is a greener way to treat the problem and to pacify the area and your nerves.

Much like the other oils, chamomile must be mixed with a carrier oil before it is applied. You can use it comfortably over time, and you also do not have the problem of very strong oils stinging your skin like the rest.

• Topical Application

The possibility of curing anal fissures in essential oils is the most basic. Start by always diluting the essential oil with a carrier oil. Coconut oil is the best option because it automatically cures itself and can be applied as a skin soother too. I generally mix about 5 droplets of essential oil and a tablespoon of carrier oil.

Once the practice of wetting the affected area with water and drying with a soft towel is done, use the oil mixture with your clean hands or a cotton ball. It is important to handle the area with softness so it doesn’t get more irritated. I found out that I was able to do this twice a day, with the most help coming after bowel movements.

• Sitz Baths with Essential Oils

Another very cyclical way is to do a sitz bath with essential oils. Sitz Bath is a small bath that is used to focus on the perineal area. Mixing a few drops of essential oil with warm water not only lets you have a good time but also deals with anal fissure pain.

I often use lavender and chamomile oil in the steaming bath. The warm water is good for relaxing the muscles, and hence, the essential oils help in healing. It is good to beware of soaking for 15-20 minutes, and one of your ideal times can be the flare-up periods. To deal with this more than once, if necessary.

• Compresses

If you have no time to go through the whole set bath thing, wiping your kid off with warm water and essential oils can be quite a time-saving feeling. Use a clean cloth to apply the warm water with some essential oils to the area and leave it to act for ten to fifteen minutes. The way that is fast and at the same time does not require you to get a bath is the most user-friendly.

First of all, I applied lavender oil topically and used sitz baths. It just about produced immediate relief: the inflammation reduced, and within one week, I felt the fissure had started to heal faster. Later, I began adding tea tree oil to my routine, which helped me evade any infections.

One thing that I learned is that it takes patience. Anal fissures take time to heal, and essential oils aren’t some magic formula, but they make the process least bearable. By continuing to use these oils consistently, I was able to bypass surgery and naturally heal my fracture. I hope that your experience will find relief just like mine did.
