Forces of Nature Fissure Control, Organic Homeopathic Treatment with Witch Hazel for Anal Fissures, Hemorrhoid Related Irritation & Discomfort, Fast, Natural Topical Relief, 11ml (0.37 fl oz)USDA Organic

I struggled with a chronic fissure for years. For a number of those years, I thought I had a hemorrhoid that I just couldn’t get rid of. I used Prep H religiously as it basically lessened the pain but never healed my situation.Finally, once I got better health insurance I saw a specialist to take care of the matter. My doctor told me that I did have small hemorrhoids, but also a fissure. He treated one hemorrhoid (anticipating treating the other two later) and prescribed me Diltiazem for the fissure. The cream was great (and expensive even with insurance) and I saw great improvement that I hadn’t in a long long time. When he went back in to treat the other hemorrhoid, that was the point of no return for me. The cream was no longer working, I wasn’t living in a space in NYC that I could comfortably take sitz baths to help, and my trusty prep H wasn’t working either. This went on for about a year of me trying different options.My doctor recommended another specialist who basically told me everyone has hemorrhoids and to leave them alone, the severe pain is coming from my fissure. So he gives me surgery options and because I’m so young (23 at the time) he didn’t want to split the sphincter muscle since I might have kids and that might cause incontinence down the road...so we went with Botox injections...The procedure was fine, the healing process was the most painful experience of my life. And I’m not a weakling, I’d say my pain tolerance is up there.Even after the Botox wore off (3 months later) I was still in pain. I didn’t like the other options my doctor suggested so I decided to do more research and most importantly - prayed about it. I’ve tried everything guys, even anal sex numbing cream and lube...Finally I came across this product. The reviewers described situations similar to mine and were very pleased with the product. I decided to give it a chance since I’ve exhausted all options and it really isn’t expensive. I’ve spent more in co-pays at this point. I purchased this along with a toilet sitz bath. I used the product about twice a day. And sometimes adding a few drops to my sitz bath which I did maybe 3 times a week. I saw dramatic healing within two weeks. You don’t need a lot of it since it’s an oil. Literally just one or two drops is enough and it smells minty.Because of this whole experience, I’ve lost faith in our healthcare system and am getting more into wholistic healing. I thought I was just going to have to live with this pain, but I’m so grateful this product has healed me. I’ve gone on to buy more of Forces of Nature’s products which I’ll review later on. So happy. I hope my experience is helpful to you and I hope you love this product as much as I do.

Do NOT suffer any longer. I used everything, I sat in baths, I iced, tried all the creams and ointments, even lidocaine and was still in agony, I was finally ready to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist after weeks and weeks of pain and frustration. I decided to try this as one final attempt and I tried not to get my hopes up - it blows my mind that a day later and I’m not in pain anymore. Sometimes it’s the old fashioned homeopathic remedies that work the best. I wish I hadn’t waited to try this and I’ll make sure to keep a bottle stocked at all times from now on.

Product works good this far. Only been using a week and feeling relief. Praying the relief leads to healing!

really a has healing properties

I can't say definitively if this is what fixed my fissure or if it’s a combination of the other things I did in conjunction with using this product. I had a fissure just over a year with pain with every BM and blood 50-75% of the time.My fissure felt slightly more internal. I also have internal hemorrhoids diagnosed by colonoscopy. I am also a fairly young (29yo) female, 5’1 and 105lbs. I’m not a doctor and most of the information on google contradicts each other so its hard to tell what you're doing right/wrong.. I’m no expert at all, but this is what I did to heal my chronic fissure.I increased my water intake to at least 80oz a day, the recommended 64oz a day was not cutting it for me. Do keep in mind though you can over-do it on the water and it can be dangerous, so everything in moderation. you may need more or less water depending on your size. I would drink 15-20oz after every meal. I would try to drink warm caffeine free tea at night. I cut back on coffee to 2, maybe 3 times a week. I would also ask for almond milk instead of regular. I cut back on alcohol to a tiny glass of wine every now and then and afterwards, i would chug a glass of water. For me, my apprehension about increasing my water intake was that i would be running to the bathroom non-stop. I already pee so much. Interestingly i seem to be be peeing less times with the increased intake. When i do have to go, the output actually matches the urgency.Diet wise, i basically tried to eat mostly fruits and vegetables and just a little bit of chicken with lunch sometimes. Also, i do not recommend eating the same thing every day. I was eating what i thought was a very healthy breakfast/lunch (gluten free toast/peanut butter, banana, carrots, celery, almonds, and grapes) for weeks and it did absolutely nothing to change my BMs/constipation.I think changing up your foods creates a better balance for you body. I try to limit processed foods and dairy. I try to get gluten-free alternatives where i can. Basically i would stick to anything you could categorize as “healthy”. I limited sweets as well. Just for an example of what a typical day is, here is what i ate today. Mixed fruit (strawberries, pineapple, and grapes) and greek vanilla yogurt. For lunch i ate brown rice with curried squash, sweet potato, and cauliflower. For dinner, a smallllllll seasoned chicken tender, bell peppers and onions. It's been about 3 weeks and i’ve lost about 3 pounds. Before i started this “diet” i would be hungry ALOT and have to eat frequently throughout the day and i would binge a lot, i now find myself not so hungry anymore and i can go longer times without food. I think this is also because i’m drinking so much water. Earlier this year i went on a completely plant-based diet for about a week, maybe 2 and i had the best BMs, but that diet was HARD to stick to. Even this one, i have my days where i don't do the best and i slip, but i have more “good” meals that outweigh the “bad” ones.I tried taking a pre-biotic, but I only took it twice. It did give me softer BMs, but i stopped taking it because i felt like it was irritating my digestive tract more so than actually providing me with the “good” bacteria to regulate my BMs. I’ve read that you should avoid foods/drinks that irritate your digestive tract because your bowels get to use to the outside stimulant and then don't function well on their own, which exacerbates constipation.I actually stopped using the “squatty potty” method too. This method seemed to put more pressure on the posterior anus where the fissure was.I would take 1 warm/hot bath with epsom salt every day that i was able to, just once a day for about 20 minutes each time.I would use this Forces of Nature Fissure Control once in the morning when i woke up and once after my bath. I applied with a cotton ball and only slightly went in just enough to make sure it was reaching the fissure. I was also using a internal hemorrhoid cream, but that seemed to be counteractive for me as it contained a vasoconstrictor and i read that fissures heal so slowly because it's hard for them to get the blood supply that they need to heal properly.That brings me to the next step, i would sit on a heating pad at home as long as i was able. I figured the heat would promote blood flow.Exercise wise, i barely did any. About 2 to 3 times a week i would leisurely walk my dog for about 20 minutes.I still don't feel entirely out of the woods, but i had my first bowel movement in over a year that didn't hurt, so there's at least progress.I’m also still not regular at all, but whatever. I’ve been doing all of this for about 3 weeks, maybe a little longer. I know this is long, but i hope it helps someone else who has been suffering as long as i have.

I'm not sure what all of the positive reviews are talking about. Because I have zero relief from using this stuff.This review is for people who don’t have money to burn. Don’t waste yours on this stuff. This went right in my pile/arsenal of other treatments that don’t work. If you have money to burn then go ahead and try it….and good luck to everyone who is suffering from this.

It works wonders, will definitely buy it again
