Active ingredient Ratahnia’s purpose is to help relieve the discomforting pain after evacuation and relieve burning sensation. Ratanhia, is a medicinal root that contains tannins. Tannins are astringents that help support the shrinking of body tissue1.
Another active ingredient is Hamamelis virginiana, a yellowish flower, also known as witch-hazel. This plant leaves, branches, and bark was used by past generations to treat topical skin affections like burns, sores, insect bites, ulcers and hemorrhoids… applications that are still currently in force2,3. Therefore, Hamamelis has been recognized by its astringent, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic properties3. Additionally, this bright yellow-flowering plant helps with itching, slight pain and overall discomfort associated with hemorrhoids.
