One of the most popular home cures for hemorrhoids is to apply a lubricant, such as petroleum jelly or warm coconut oil, just before the bowel movement and before going to bed. It is important to cure constipation first, which is the root cause for piles. For that, eat a diet rich in fiber as well as drink sufficient amounts of fluids. Water, soup, and juice are good options. Eating ripe banana and ripe papaya provide natural cure for piles.

A slightly fatty chicken soup (cooked with skin) is very effective in good bowel movement, thus helping in the treatment of piles.
