The Natural Way!

So what can be done to support the surrounding skin and blood vessels of the anal area in a safe, natural way? Following a healthy diet by eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grain foods, avoiding refined sugars and fats, and preparing foods in a healthy manner can go a long way to prevent constipation, encourage soft regular stools and to support skin and blood vessel health in the most vulnerable places. Exercising regularly (three times a week) and drinking plenty of water (8 glasses a day) will help to hydrate the skin and promote circulation, while added fiber in your diet can help to keep you ‘regular’ and loosen stools for easy passage through the anal tunnel.

Rather than treating problems in isolation, Naturopaths prefer to take a holistic look at the individual and encompass a variety of factors to include diet, lifestyle, personality type, surroundings and emotional elements – thereby supporting the health of the individual as a whole. After all, we are far more than just the sum of our symptoms!

Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to promote healthy circulation and encourage skin health. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. (see Ingredients below)

What does RectoRex Balm contain?

RectoRex Balm is a 100% herbal and homeopathic balm that contains the following powerful proven herbs in soothing therapeutic dosage:

Hypericum perforatum oil
This herb is native to Europe but has been naturalized in most of the northern hemisphere. The name refers to the fact that it flowers around the feast of Saint John on June 24th which is also close to the summer solstice. It has been hailed for its ability to promote the body’s nerve response during injury and trauma. The flowers contain many antioxidants such as Rutin, Quercitin, and Lutein. In recent times this herb has been shown to help promote skin health, helping to address skin inflammation and irritation and encourage soothing. (Schempp CM, Winghofer B, Ludtke R, Simon-Haarhaus B, Shopp E, Simon JC. “Topical application of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L) and of its metabolite hyperforin inhibits the allostimulatory capacity of epidermal cells”. Br J Derm. 2000;142:979-984). Further studies indicate that St. John’s Wort has beneficial properties with particular regards to troubled skin. (Schempp, C. M., Windeck, T., Hezel, S., and Simon, J. C. “Topical treatment of atopic dermatitis with St. John's wort cream -a randomized, placebo controlled, double blind half-side comparison”. Phytomedicine. 2003;10 Suppl 4:31-37).

Ranunculus ficaria (Pilewort, Lesser Celandine)
This is one of the earliest of spring flowers whose tubers give the plant its Latin name ficaria - from the Latin for a fig, ficus. Historically, the tubers were likened to nodules – hence the common name “Pilewort”. Constituents include anemonin, protoanemonin and tannin.

Symphytum officinale (Comfrey)
Comfrey is a temperate plant found in western Asia, North America, and Australia. It has been cultivated in Japan as a green vegetable and has been used as an herbal medicine for more than 2,000 years! Constituents include carbohydrates, alkaloids, Triterpenes, allantoin and tannins. In recent years this herb has been studied for its ability to soothe the skin, particularly in topical applications. (Koll R, Klingenburg S. “Therapeutic characteristance and tolerance of topical comfrey preparations. Results of an observational study of patients” [in German]. Fortschr Med Orig . 2002;120:1-9). (Peterson G, Lorkowski G, Kasper F, et al. “Anti-inflammatory activity of a pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free extract of roots of Symphytum officinale in humans”. Planta Med . 1993;59:A703). Furthermore, this herb has been shown to be gentle and effective on even the most delicate of skins – such as infants and babies. (Ziolkowski Z, Orszulak J, Wojtanowska H. “Aqueous extract of Symphytum officinale in the treatment of some skin diseases in infants”. Pediatr Pol. 1957 Dec;32(12):1353-60. Polish. PMID: 13527040 – PubMed)

Matricaria chamomilla
Chamomile has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and is widely used in Europe. Chamomile is best known as an ingredient in herbal tea preparations advertised for its mild calmative effects. Constituents include volatile oils and Flavonoids and recently studies have investigated Chamomile for its ability to promote recovery of wounds and encourage healing. (Glowania HJ et al, “Effect of chamomile on wound healing - a clinical double-blind study.” Z Hautkr 1987;62(17):1262, 1267-71). In recent studies chamomile has been shown to have great potential to help soothe skin – in one study chamomile cream shown to be as effective as hydrocortisone 0.25% cream in the treatment of atopic eczema. (Ross SM . “An integrative approach to eczema (atopic dermatitis)”. Holist Nurs Pract . 2003;17:56-62).

Hamamelis virginianum (Witch hazel)
This herb has been used historically by Native North Americans for centuries. Constituents include: Tannin, saponins, choline, resins and flavonoids. These constituents contribute to the strong astringent effect of witch hazel with pharmacological studies suggesting that witch hazel promotes vein strength and has an anti-inflammatory agent. (Bernard P, Balansard P, Balansard G, Bovis A. “Venotonic pharmacodynamic value of galenic preparations with a base of hamamelis leaves”. J Pharm Belg 1972;27:505–12). Studies have also shown Witch hazel to be especially soothing on the skin. (Korting HC, Schafer-Korting M, Hart H, et al. “Anti-inflammatory activity of Hamamelis distillate applied topically to the skin”. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 1993;44:315–8).

Aesculus (6C) (Horse chestnut)
This tree produces large seeds known as horse chestnuts. A superstition in many parts of Europe suggests that carrying these seeds in your pocket will ward off joint complaints. The major active constituents of horsechestnut are saponins, flavonoids, sterols and lipids. In Germany, more prescriptions are written for the oral, standardized horsechestnut extract as a treatment to promote vein health and integrity than for any other drug or supplement. (Bielanski TE, Piotrowski ZH. “Horse-chestnut seed extract for chronic venous insufficiency”. Schulz V, et al. Rational Phytotherapy. Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1998:129-38.) (Chandler RF. “Horse chestnut”. Canadian Pharm J July/Aug 1993:297-300). (Dinsdale M. “Horse chestnut”. Better Nutrition Feb. 2000;62(2):32).(J Fam Pract. 1999 Mar;48(3):171-2. Diehm C, Vollbrecht D, Amendt K, et al. “Medical edema protection--clinical benefit in patients with chronic deep vein incompetence. A placebo controlled double blind study”. Vasa 1992;21(2):188-192). (Siebert U, Brach M, Sroczynski G, et al. “Efficacy, routine effectiveness, and safety of horsechestnut seed extract in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency”. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and large observational studies. Int Angiol. 2002;21(4):305-315). This herb has been shown to be of great benefit in promoting all round health of the cardiovascular system as well as supporting vein and capillary strength (Guillaume M, Padioleau F. “Venotonic effect, vascular protection, anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging properties of horse chestnut extract”. Arzneim-Forsch Drug Res 1994;44:25-35).
