Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bear garlic (Allium ursinum), also known as wild garlic or ramsons, has a long history of use in European folk medicine, including as a remedy for conditions involving poor circulation and inflammation. Its traditional application for hemorrhoids is likely rooted in its general use as a medicinal plant for digestive health and its reputed ability to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation. However, direct evidence supporting bear garlic specifically for hemorrhoids is limited to anecdotal or traditional sources. Most of the documented uses come from ethnobotanical surveys and herbal compendia that record its use for digestive complaints, high blood pressure, and as a mild laxative—properties that could, in theory, indirectly benefit those with hemorrhoids by reducing constipation and improving vascular health. There are no high-quality clinical studies or robust scientific investigations specifically evaluating bear garlic for the treatment or support of hemorrhoids. Thus, its use for this condition is best described as traditional, with very limited empirical evidence supporting its efficacy.
