When the rectum or the anal opening is cracked the condition is known as anal fissure. On most occasions the anus tends to bleed while passing excreta. At times these cracks may appear inside the rectum and the walls of the anus become very painful. In other words the person who has this disease thinks twice before answering the call of nature or going to the lavatory. The improper functioning of the bowels; which results in constipation has been ascribed as being the major cause of anal fissure. Women after delivery are prone to this disease; as the supply of blood tends to get less after childbirth and the anus becomes dry. Nonetheless there is a very potent herbal treatment for anal fissure.

A person suffering from anal fissure should make it a point to take magnesium pills and include fiber rich food in the diet. By doing this the excreta would soften and answering the call of nature would require little or no effort. As a preventive measure non-vegetarian food should be avoided. If this home treatment is adhered to and the preventive measures taken; then the symptoms of anal fissure would fade away in two months.  This home treatment is both handy and cost affective.
