Abstract
Hemorrhoids (Piles) are an inflammation of blood vessels around the anal canal. When the anal cushions are displaced during defecation, piles are formed. The purpose of this study is to document traditional knowledge and medicinal plants used in pile therapy in Nigeria. This study is to establish the usage of beneficial medicinal herbs to cure hemorrhoids and provides a foundation for future research to identify effective and economical anti-hemorrhoid medications.
