When we sit up on the toilet in a seated position, we are not in our natural position and in doing so place additional strain on the veins within the rectum.

This position alone is directly responsible for hemorrhoids in many people and can be rectified somewhat by having a foot stool or some object in the toilet where your feet could be raised up off the ground.

It might not always be practical but it is certainly effective.
