Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol Review: Who It Suits, Who Should Skip It

The Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol, in one paragraph
A downloadable book (about 110 pages) credited to Scott Davis and published by Blue Heron Health News. Most of it is background reading: how hemorrhoids form, the medical procedures, a long catalogue of herbs, essential oils and home-made creams, foods and 29 high-fibre recipes, exercises, sitz baths and toilet habits. The actual three-week routine is a short chapter near the end. One payment of about $49; refunds go through ClickBank.
Only for mild symptoms a doctor has already checked · Not for heavy bleeding, prolapse that will not go back, or a sudden painful lump
Our verdict after reading it: the fibre, fluid, sitz-bath and toilet-habit advice is sound and matches what clinicians recommend first. The herbal and essential-oil material is weaker, and parts of it need care, especially if you take blood thinners, are pregnant or have sensitive skin.

This Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol review is based on reading the whole program. The publisher gave us a member copy of the PDF; we read it from the first chapter to the last. We have not followed the program, tried its remedies or measured anyone’s results, so this page tells you what the book contains, how that compares with medical guidance, and who it is a poor fit for. It is a digital guide sold through ClickBank for about $49 at the time of writing. It is not a medical treatment.
Read this first: bleeding from the bottom needs a doctor’s check, not a book. Hemorrhoids are the most common cause of bright red blood on the paper, but bowel cancer, polyps, fissures and inflammatory bowel disease can cause it too, and you cannot tell them apart by looking.
Get emergency help now (US: call 911 or go to the emergency department) if you have:
- bleeding that will not stop, a lot of blood, or large clots;
- bleeding with dizziness, fainting, a racing heart or shortness of breath;
- black, tarry stools or a large amount of dark blood;
- severe pain, or pain with fever, chills or spreading redness and swelling;
- a hemorrhoid that has come out, cannot be pushed back, and is getting darker and more painful.
Book an appointment soon if you have bleeding that has never been examined (even a small amount), bleeding and you are 45 or older or have a family history of bowel cancer, a change in bowel habit lasting more than a few weeks, weight loss you cannot explain, unusual tiredness, or symptoms that have not improved after a week of home care. See our full list of hemorrhoid warning signs.
Nothing in this program, or on this page, replaces that examination.
How we reviewed it
- What we read: the full Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol PDF (member copy supplied free by the publisher, Blue Heron Health News), plus the publisher’s sales pages and order page as they appeared on 20 October 2026.
- What we compared it with: public guidance from NIDDK (NIH), the NHS, MedlinePlus, NCCIH and the US Preventive Services Task Force, listed under Sources.
- What we did not do: we have not followed the program, used its creams, teas or oils, or tracked anyone’s symptoms. We are not doctors, and this page has not been reviewed by one yet.
- How we quote: we describe the book in our own words and do not reproduce its recipes, blends or day-by-day schedule.
What is inside the program
The Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol is a downloadable PDF of roughly 110 pages. Nothing ships unless you buy the optional printed copy. Despite the sales video’s focus on “two bad habits”, the book itself is a broad home-remedy manual. In our own words, it covers:
| Part of the book | What it covers | Our note |
|---|---|---|
| Background (about 16 pages) | History, anatomy, the main theories of why hemorrhoids form, causes, grades 1–4 and symptoms | Mostly standard. It says rectal bleeding is never normal and should be checked by a doctor, which is right. |
| Medical treatments (about 8 pages) | Office procedures such as banding, injections and infrared coagulation, and surgery | Leans toward the downsides of procedures; see “Where we disagree”. |
| Natural remedies (about 26 pages) | Herbs taken by mouth or applied to the skin, essential oils, carrier oils and home-made creams and pads | The biggest section, and the one with the thinnest evidence and the most safety caveats. |
| Foods and recipes (about 33 pages) | High-fibre fruits, vegetables and grains, and 29 breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes | Sensible, practical and the strongest part of the book. |
| Exercise, baths, habits (about 10 pages) | Gentle yoga, Kegels, walking, exercises to avoid, sitz baths, water intake, toilet habits | Largely in line with standard advice. |
| Traditional systems (about 3 pages) | Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine views | Descriptive; not evidence for anything. |
| The three-week routine (about 9 pages) | A daily morning, midday and evening routine that repeats each week, adding walking in week two and Kegels in week three | Built around a self-blended herbal tea, two sitz baths a day, a home-made cream, high-fibre meals and light exercise. |
| Quick relief (about 4 pages) | Short-term comfort measures such as cold packs, warm soaks, witch hazel and lying down | Mostly standard comfort measures. |
Scott Davis is credited as the author. The book does not state his qualifications; the sales page calls him an alternative health practitioner. We could not verify any credentials, and he is not presented as a physician. Read it as health education from a non-clinician.
What holds up, and what does not
| Element | What the book does | What the evidence says | Our read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fibre and fluid | Central to every week, through food and recipes | Fibre is the first-line measure in colorectal society guidance; reviews link it to less bleeding and fewer persistent symptoms | Solid |
| Toilet habits | Short toilet visits, no straining, go when you feel the urge, raise the feet | Standard advice from NIDDK and the NHS | Solid |
| Sitz baths | Twice daily throughout | Commonly recommended for symptom relief | Reasonable; twice daily is a lot of time for some people |
| Walking, Kegels, gentle yoga | Added progressively | Activity helps regularity; specific poses have little direct evidence | Harmless for most; avoid anything painful |
| Oral herbs (horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, ginkgo and others) | Described as helpful, with some doses quoted from studies; the daily “hemorrhoid tea” is a personal blend of them | Some plant flavonoid extracts have modest trial evidence for symptoms; ginkgo can raise bleeding risk with blood thinners (NCCIH); raw horse chestnut is unsafe by mouth (NCCIH) | Check with a pharmacist or doctor first, especially on blood thinners or in pregnancy |
| Essential oils and home-made creams | Several blends for daily use, plus diluted tea tree oil after bowel movements | Little evidence for hemorrhoids; tea tree oil can irritate skin and must never be swallowed (NCCIH) | Patch-test, keep away from broken or internal tissue, stop if it stings |
So the core habit advice overlaps with what a clinician would tell you first. What you pay for is a structured routine and a lot of recipes. The remedy chapters are where we would read with caution.
Where we disagree with the book
- Bleeding and blood thinners. The book presents ginkgo as something that can help with bleeding and can be taken daily. NCCIH warns that ginkgo may increase bleeding risk in people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin. If you take any blood thinner, aspirin or other regular medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking any herb. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine because of this or any book.
- Pregnancy. The book calls essential oils suitable in pregnancy and favours an oral herb for pregnant readers. We would not rely on that: ask your midwife or obstetrician before using any herb or oil while pregnant or breastfeeding. Our pregnancy guide covers the usual safer options.
- Strength of some blends. The book’s own general rule is to dilute essential oils heavily, but a few of its blends look much stronger than that rule. On sensitive skin, stronger is not better.
- Fibre supplements. One chapter suggests getting fibre from food rather than supplements; another mentions psyllium favourably. Colorectal guidance supports fibre supplements, and many people find them the easiest way to reach their target. Both routes are reasonable.
- Medical procedures. The procedures chapter dwells on risks and recurrence. Rubber band ligation is a common, usually quick office treatment for grade I–III internal hemorrhoids. If a doctor recommends it, that is not a failure of home care. See what banding involves.
- Wording about results. The book’s opening and its final chapter talk about getting rid of hemorrhoids for good. The evidence supports fewer and milder flare-ups while the habits continue, not a permanent fix for everyone.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
It may suit you if:
- a doctor has already confirmed mild hemorrhoids (occasional itching, discomfort or a little bright red blood on the paper);
- you know your fibre, fluid and toilet habits are the problem;
- you follow a structured plan and recipes better than a leaflet;
- you are happy to skip or check the herbal and essential-oil parts.
Skip it, or talk to a clinician first, if:
- your bleeding has never been examined, or you have any symptom in the urgent-care box above;
- a hemorrhoid comes out and has to be pushed back, or will not go back (grade III–IV);
- you have a sudden, hard, very painful lump (possibly thrombosed);
- you take blood thinners or several regular medicines, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding (the herbal parts need a professional’s OK first);
- you have inflammatory bowel disease, very sensitive skin or allergies to plants;
- you already do the fibre, fluid and toilet basics well and still have symptoms. More reading will not change that; a doctor’s assessment may.
Sales page vs the book
| The sales pages say | What we found in the book |
|---|---|
100% natural and has no side-effects(order page) |
The book itself lists cautions for several oils and herbs. Natural does not mean free of side effects. |
| Results “within days” and hemorrhoids that “stay gone” (case-study video page) | The routine runs three weeks. No results data, trials or follow-up are reported in the book. |
| Two bad habits and a simple food plan | Food and habits are part of it, alongside a long herbal, essential-oil and home-made-cream section. |
Refund if symptoms have not completely evaporated(order page) or if it “isn’t for you” (video page) |
ClickBank handles refunds under its own policy within 60 days. The two pages word the guarantee differently. |
The sales copy also tells readers that inaction is the danger. For a symptom that overlaps with bowel cancer, the real danger is skipping the examination. That is why the urgent-care box sits at the top of this page.
How it compares to the alternatives
| This program | OTC creams | Fibre supplement alone | Banding / surgery | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Grade I–II, habit-driven cases | Short-term symptom relief | Constipation-driven cases | Grade III–IV, thrombosed, refractory |
| What it does | Structures fibre, fluid, movement and toilet habits; adds optional herbal and home-made topical remedies | Eases itching and discomfort locally | Softens stool, reduces straining | Removes or shrinks the hemorrhoid |
| Typical cost | ~$49 one-off | A few dollars per tube | Low monthly cost | Procedure cost, often insured |
| Time to effect | Weeks | Days, temporary | Weeks | Immediate to weeks |
| Main limitation | Only as good as your adherence | Does not address the cause | No guidance on habits | Invasive; recovery time |
Read that table the right way: these are not four competing products. Fibre, habits and a cream are what you do first. A procedure is what you do when first-line measures have genuinely been tried and the grade is too advanced for them. This program sits squarely in the first column and is honest about nothing else.

FAQ
Did you follow the program yourselves?
No. We read the full PDF (a free member copy from the publisher) and compared it with medical guidance. We have not followed the routine, used its remedies or measured results.
Is it just fibre advice?
No. Fibre, fluid and toilet habits run through it, but the largest chapter is about herbs, essential oils and home-made creams, and the daily routine includes a herbal tea and a home-made cream.
Does it ask me to take supplements?
It discusses several herbs taken by mouth, some with doses quoted from studies, and it suggests a daily tea made from herbs described in the book. Buying them is your choice. Check any herb with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you take medicines.
Is it safe if I take blood thinners?
The habit and food advice is generally compatible. Some of the herbs it discusses, such as ginkgo, may raise bleeding risk with anticoagulants. Ask the clinician who manages your medicine before trying any herb, and never stop a prescribed medicine on the strength of a book.
How long does it take?
The routine runs three weeks. If three weeks of the basics brings no improvement, or symptoms get worse, see a doctor rather than starting again.
Can I use it with a prescribed cream or suppository?
The food and habit parts do not conflict with prescribed treatments. Ask your prescriber before adding home-made creams or oils to the same area.
Is it suitable in pregnancy?
Fibre, fluid and gentle activity are generally appropriate in pregnancy. The herbal and essential-oil parts are not something to start without your midwife’s or obstetrician’s OK.
Is the 60-day refund real?
ClickBank handles refunds and states a 60-day window; it decides requests under its own policy. We have not requested one. Keep your order email.
Will it stop hemorrhoids coming back?
Only while the habits continue. Recurrence after people go back to old patterns is common, and some hemorrhoids need a procedure whatever you eat.
Our verdict
Having read it cover to cover: the Hemorrhoids Healing Protocol is a long, well-organised home-care manual whose best parts, fibre-rich food, fluid, toilet habits, sitz baths and gentle activity, match first-line medical advice you can also get free. Its herbal and essential-oil chapters are less well supported and need care. For someone with mild, already-diagnosed symptoms who wants recipes and a routine, it can be worth $49. It is the wrong purchase for unexamined bleeding, a prolapse that will not go back or a sudden painful lump.
