Hemorrhoids No More: Steamed Eggs with Alum

No More Hemorrhoid Troubles: Alum-Steamed Eggs! A kind-hearted netizen (Shenpo, QQ: 1580904333) shares a folk remedy for hemorrhoids (internal hemorrhoids): Take one red-shelled egg, about 5 grams of alum, and approximately 10 milliliters of white liquor. Mix them together and steam to make egg custard. After steaming, consume the custard with warm water. If it’s too difficult to swallow, you can also take it with fruit juice. Repeat this for three consecutive days, eating it on an empty stomach in the morning. For most cases, symptoms improve within three days, while more severe cases may take up to seven days. The results are remarkably effective. I don’t know the origin of this remedy, but my father used it when I was very young. Many relatives and friends around me have also tried it, and I’ve used it myself—all with positive results. I’m 42 years old now and have known about this remedy for over 30 years. Although it doesn’t taste great, it works within a few days, with some people feeling relief as early as the next day. Recently, my sister tried it, and it worked well for her internal hemorrhoids. It also seems effective for mixed hemorrhoids. The remedy is particularly effective for internal hemorrhoids with bleeding. Most patients recover within seven days, and those who follow the treatment typically remain symptom-free for about 10 years. However, it’s important to avoid consuming too many irritants. Hemorrhoids can be extremely painful, with some people unable to walk due to the discomfort. As a Buddhist, I’m happy to share this remedy to help those in need!
