Cole Herbals Blog Articles
Sometimes, the best remedies are born out of necessity—and a touch of humor. Dr. Cole’s Hemorrhoid Treatment, affectionately nicknamed "Butt Aid" in its early days, is no exception. This product was inspired not by a theoretical need but by a heartfelt request from her brother, who found himself grappling with a very uncomfortable reality.
Dr. Cole's brother faced an upcoming surgery for severe hemorrhoids—those swollen, painful varicose veins of the rectum that can turn everyday activities into agonizing ordeals. Desperate for relief, he reached out to his sister, a trusted herbalist, with a half-serious, half-hopeful question: “Do you have any witch potions I can put on my butt?”
Despite his staunch belief in traditional medicine, he was willing to try anything to avoid surgery. For Dr. Cole, this was a call to action. Armed with her deep knowledge of herbs, she created a custom blend of soothing, anti-inflammatory, and astringent ingredients.
The result? Immediate relief. After the first application, her brother reported reduced pain, swelling, and a return to mobility. By the next day, the swelling had subsided significantly, and surgery was no longer necessary.
Dr. Cole’s Hemorrhoid Treatment isn’t just a clever name—it’s a carefully crafted formula. Each ingredient was chosen for its specific properties:
Witch Hazel: A natural astringent that helps shrink swollen tissues and reduce discomfort.
Horse Chestnut: Renowned for improving vein health, reducing inflammation, and addressing constriction.
Butcher’s Broom: Draws out moisture from irritated tissues, alleviating the itching and burning sensation.
Feverfew & White Willow: These herbs act as natural pain relievers, addressing the discomfort associated with hemorrhoids.
Vitamin E: Provides additional soothing and healing properties for irritated skin.
Together, these ingredients offer relief from pain, itching, and swelling, allowing users to return to their daily routines without discomfort.
Originally dubbed “Hemi-Balm” (a playful nod to hemorrhoids), Dr. Cole faced a challenge from an unexpected source: Dodge, the car manufacturer. To avoid any confusion—because this product is certainly not for "Dodge Rams"—Dr. Cole turned to friends for suggestions.
It was during a visit with the Hardys in June 2014 that the perfect name emerged. Jack Hardy, a family friend, suggested the name “Butt Aid.” The humor and simplicity of the suggestion resonated immediately. Dr. Cole recalls thinking, “I never thought of that!” And so, "Butt Aid" was born—a name as memorable as it is effective.
While the product is now formally known as Hemorrhoid Treatment by Dr. Cole’s Herbal Remedies, many loyal customers still fondly refer to it as Butt Aid.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this treatment is its instant relief. Users often report that pain subsides immediately upon application, and swelling diminishes within hours. This isn’t just a product for hemorrhoids; it’s a solution for anyone recovering from childbirth, surgery, or other conditions that leave “down there” feeling worse for wear.
Talking about hemorrhoids can feel awkward, but Dr. Cole approached this challenge with humor and empathy. She always encouraged openness, knowing that even a little laughter can make an uncomfortable topic easier to tackle. And as the testimonials rolled in, her confidence in the product grew.
Need a creative holiday gift for someone you know? As Dr. Cole joked, “For that major pain in your butt, give them a Butt Aid for Christmas!” While it’s a lighthearted suggestion, this product has genuinely transformed lives, offering relief and comfort to those in need.
