Natural health: Haemorrhoids and liver health

Q. My mother has ongoing issues with haemorrhoids for as long as I can remember. Do you have any suggestions as to how she can get some relief?

She has good days and bad days, but they seem to be causing her more trouble than usual at present. 

A. Haemorrhoids are a very common issue following pregnancy and childbirth, but can also be triggered by the excessive strain caused by bowel disorders where constipation, diarrhoea (or both) are a symptom.
