Synopsis

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

Velvet, particularly in the form of deer velvet antler, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional healing systems. Historically, deer velvet has been used as a general tonic and for a variety of ailments, including those affecting blood circulation and inflammation. In some traditional texts and anecdotal reports, velvet preparations have been mentioned as supportive remedies for conditions involving bleeding, swelling, or weakness, which may include hemorrhoids. However, the connection is indirect and not consistently documented, with most references focusing on its supposed ability to "strengthen the body" and improve general vitality rather than specifically treating hemorrhoids. There is little to no rigorous scientific evidence directly supporting the use of velvet for hemorrhoid treatment. Modern clinical studies are lacking, and any potential benefits are inferred from its traditional use for promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation. Overall, the evidence for velvet's use in treating hemorrhoids is rooted in tradition, with weak or anecdotal support and without robust scientific validation.
