Yarrow and blackberry cream is used for curing hemorrhoids, applied externally. It is made from yarrow (Achillea millefolium) flowers and blackberry (Rubus fructicosus) leaves, about 15g of each herb. Herbs need to be fresh and chopped.
Making the cream
Heat pigs fat (about 90 g ) to a temperature of frying steaks. Use a big pan, much bigger than the amount of fat, because fat is very hot and can foam. Caution is necessary.
Add herbs part by part, stir few times with a wooden spoon and fry herbs a bit. Remove it from fire and cover.
Next day heat it to melt the fat, strain it with a strainer or/ and cloth. Squeeze the herbs a bit, pour it into small containers or jars, cover when it cools down.
Label it
Write the name of the cream and year of making on the jars, so you wouldn't forget what is in it. This happens to us sometimes, we keep similar containers in the same spot and later we forget what cream is in which container so the sniffing party begins. Same is with oils. In eather case it is best to write something on.
Keep it in the fridge or other cool place, it can last for a year or more. The amounts can be reduced, according to your needs.

Drinking camomile tea is also good for healing hemorrhoids internally, it heals and do not couses diarrhoea.
