I just wanted to let everyone of my success using Tamanu oil on my fissure. I have been reading the forum for a while looking for something to help with the excruciating pain and heavy bleeding I was experiencing. I read about using coconut oil on the fissure and couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it. I take coconut oil everyday internally and use it on my skin because of it amazing antimicrobial and healing properties. Using it topically on my fissure was a great idea. So I thought I would add a little tamanu oil to the coconut oil. Tamanu oil which I have also been using on my skin everyday is antimicrobial, but it is also a mild pain reliever and helps skin regenerate. I have been using it for years for first aid as well. Well as soon as I applied my coconut and tamanu oil cream there was almost instant relief. The swelling went down later that day and now a week later I feel almost whole again. I just had my first pain free BM in I don't know how long. I just wanted to share this with everyone because I feel this was what turned it around for me. Before that I was everything I knew to do. Sitz baths 3-4 times a day, 30-40+ grams of fiber a day, so much water I have to pee every 10 mins.
