WiseWays Herbals Witch Hazel Suppositories 12 Count

I keep the box in the refrigerator which solidified the which hazel mixture. Makes them cool and helps calm hemorrhoids. Excellent and much less expensive than prescriptions.

I purchased this product through Amazon. When I received the package the suppositories came in a very cheap small box with a very cheap small label on it that is most likely placed on it by hand. That is not my problem though with the product. When I opened the box that was scotch taped closed I found the 12 suppositories inside a plastic wrapping. The 12 suppositories are not individually 100% sealed. There is an opening at the top of each individual suppository which is where the contents are injected into the plastic mold. This opening remains open and the contents are exposed. This is not the best sanitary method to use especially when it involves a product that will be going inside your body. If that was not bad enough, let me tell you what I found inside the plastic wrapping. I observed a living small Unknown bug crawling on the suppositories. I was alarmed to say the least. I took photos of it with my iPhone and called amazon customer service who were great and immediately gave me a refund. Amazon told me to dispose of the item. I will try to attach a photo to this review. In short, I would NEVER buy these suppositories from this company again due to their inadequate quality control standards that are a potential serious health risk. I just want relieve from hemorrhoids, I don't want to get a tape worm or some other type of bug in my system while just trying to find relief from a minor problem as hemorrhoids. If I could give this product zero stars I would. Like I said BEWARE.

This is my second purchase of these Witch Hazel Suppositories. I bought my first package last year, and I just used up my last one. As I was coming to the end I made sure to order more so they would get here just in time.Generally I deal with some fairly common GI complaints that caused me to try these out in the first place. I have IBS-C, and even though I do high fiber, water, exercise, daily magnesium, stool softeners, and prescription medication for this disease/syndrome, whatever it is, I do still have times when things become difficult and that can cause pain and swelling and similar symptoms.I, like most people who deal with such issues, have on hand all of the typical products from the local pharmacy – the creams, ointments and suppositories, but honestly I don’t really like them that much. More times than not they tend to make me feel MORE uncomfortable rather than resolving my discomfort. Maybe it just depends on the severity of my symptoms or what exactly I’m dealing with at the time – I don’t really know for sure. I just know I was at a point last year where I felt like I needed something “different”, something that was “cleaner”, with fewer ingredients, which could hopefully calm down some of my symptoms without any type of discharge or “warming/cooling sensations” (which may be preferable to some people under some circumstances, I understand, but is not what I was looking for).So I went on Amazon and eventually I found these witch hazel suppositories. They seemed to get good reviews for soothing flared “tissues” shall we say, without goopy creams or ointments, or even the melting often noted by myself and some others with the name brand suppositories that contain more active ingredients. When I got them I put them in the refrigerator as I have found that is the best way to keep these things intact and in the easiest form to insert. Also, the gentle coolness of That (the refrigeration) often helps bring some relief for the first few minutes. These do help with tender, painful, swollen tissues (piles, etc.), they help me to feel cleaner and more comfortable, and luckily I’ve only needed 12 in the past year, so that’s pretty good.Unfortunately, I just had a colonoscopy last week where a couple of polyps had to be removed, one on the larger side. I have been having quite a bit of discomfort at the removal site since the procedure. As we are still waiting for pathology results the doctor did not want to prescribe anything to help with this pain, but I did, thankfully, have several of these still on hand, and while they did not relieve all of the pain, they were definitely very helpful in taking the edge off it so I wasn’t completely miserable. I think they are a very good product, which I plan to have on hand at all times, so please don’t stop making them!! Thank you!!

Ok, so like most of the reviews these things were kind if melted/very soft. I put them in the fridge to harden some. They never really fully formed like the other brands I have used but these things worked better than anything I have used! Omg!

This product works fast and is not messy. The individual suppository packaging is easy to open. It really helped with soothing the uncomfortable irritation of hemorrhoids. I will buy again.

These work, but do not order in the summer time, they will melt and make a messgood to have itemKeep them in the freezercool relief

So, I am one of the lucky few people who got hemorrhoids at age 18. What the hell is up with that? Anyway, I originally tried preparation h supposotories, but they contain sudafed, a great vasoconstrictor, but it made me super jittery. Awful for something I prefer to take at bedtime. Also, those suppositories also contain shark liver oil--eww. Enter these wonderful witch hazel suppositories instead! My issues are mainly internal hemorrhoids that itch and sometimes turn painful if I am having constipation. The witch hazel in these is extremely soothing with no jitters. I usually take a cotton round, wet it with witch hazel, and place it against my outer area while lying down after using one of these suppositories--attack from every angle, I suppose! :-) I highly recommend you refrigerate or freeze these suppositories as they are very melty. However, that is a good thing since it is sure to make it to the spot needed to treat, which isn't very far inside for most people anyway. I usually wear a pad toward the back of my underwear with these just to be safe, but I have never needed it. Still, better safe than sorry. I have been using this product for 4 years now and I absolutely love it. P.s. sorry if this is too graphic a review for ya, when you have ibs for years, you kind of stop being embarrassed about this stuff. :-)
