LONDON — When your backdoor is burning from a bad case of piles, what do you do when there's no Preparation H laying around? Home remedies of course. <br />According to Vice, the UK edition of Reader's Digest decided to write up a list of nine home remedies for treating hemorrhoids. <br />Some ideas the magazine suggests include nestling a warm teabag right against your backdoor while sitting on the can. <br />Then there's also slathering on some Vicks Vaporub around the outside of your bum orifice.<br />Apparently, grating up a raw potato and holding it against your rear entrance also works. <br />You know one thing that doesn't work? Shoving an entire frozen potato wedge up the backside like WalesOnline suggests. <br />According to the website, inserting a frozen potato slice into the poop shoot for 30 seconds several times of three to five days will clear those piles right up. <br />It's pretty clear from the article that whomever wrote it, isn't a medical professional. Meanwhile, actual doctors are telling people not to do it. <br />So who are you going to trust? WalesOnline or some know-it-all-doctor?
