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)

I have had a chronic anal fissure for 10 months. To remedy the condition, I have done everything including sitz baths, the nitroglycerine cream from the gastroenterologist, and wheatgrass cream. Nothing worked and the condition just kept getting more and more painful.Anyone who has a fissure knows the pain involved. I experienced spasms that lasted for hours after defecating. I was paralyzed from pain and fear everyday. It has been the most debilitating problem I have ever encountered for this amount of time. I lived on stool softeners and still had terrible pain everyday. i started using the oil on a Monday and by Friday I was experiencing 70% less pain after the bowel movement. I cannot recall the last time I was in church on a Sunday morning and did not have terrible pain while sitting on those hard pews. Today, I was pain free in church. For the doubters, I find you cannot get enough oil on a cotton ball to make the product work effectively. The best application is 3 drops directly on a gloved finger and then massaging the oil on the clean area every 6 hours.I have been using essential oils for years for all kinds of ailments. I have had great success with them for a variety of ailments. It makes sense that german chamomile and calendula would be in this formula. Both are very mild and work for terrible burns of any kind.I intend to keep using this product and will buy another bottle and use that as well to make sure the tissue has healed completely. Personally, I believe this product is the only thing out there to fix this problem.Addendum: July 6, 2013 The above review was done in March. Now it is almost 4 months later, and I am on my 2nd bottle of Fissure Control and getting ready to purchase my 3rd bottle. I must say I am 99% better. I no longer have the anal fissure. It completely healed. I no longer have any pain when I defecate and no blood. For me, this is a miracle. I suffered for over 10 months with constant pain and bleeding. I highly recommend this essential oil regimen. It works. You must apply the oil directly to the rectal area after every bowel movement and reapply between movements if you have any pain. I also apply it every night before i go to sleep as good measure. While the fissure was healing, I upped my water instake to 80oz a day to keep my stools soft to aid in the healing. It worked. It also has helped with an external hemorroid I have had for 30+ years. It has really made it almost disappear.

Not long after trying this my hemorrhoid pain improved

Bought this as a recommendation from another site. I am not sure if my fissure would have taken longer to heal without this product, so I think it definitely helped. I used it in my sitz baths, and also applied it on its own.

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.
