What Is Hernia and Can It Be Cured Naturally? - #15537

A few months ago, my father was diagnosed with a hernia, and at first, he didn’t think it was a big deal. He had some discomfort but nothing unbearable. However, over time, the swelling in his lower abdomen became more noticeable, and now whenever he lifts anything heavy or strains himself, the pain increases. The doctor said that if the hernia continues to grow, surgery might be necessary, but we are hoping to explore natural remedies before considering that option. From what I understand, a hernia occurs when muscles in the abdominal wall weaken, allowing intestines or other tissues to push through. My biggest concern is whether it’s possible to stop this condition from worsening without surgery. I’ve heard that some lifestyle changes, yoga, and Ayurvedic treatments may help in managing or even reducing hernia symptoms, but I’m not sure how effective these methods are. Are there any Ayurvedic medicines or herbal remedies that can strengthen the abdominal muscles and help manage hernia naturally? I’ve read that herbs like Triphala and Giloy support digestion and improve gut health—could they help with hernia too? Also, are there any specific dietary changes that could prevent it from getting worse? I’ve also come across information suggesting that certain yoga poses, such as Vajrasana and Uddiyana Bandha, might help with hernia. But I’m unsure whether these yoga practices work for all types of hernia or only for specific cases. Additionally, if someone already has a hernia, is it safe to do these exercises, or could they make the condition worse? If anyone has managed hernia naturally, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Is it truly possible to heal or at least prevent the condition from progressing using Ayurvedic remedies and yoga? Or is surgery the only real solution in the long run? Any insights on natural treatments, diet changes, or Ayurvedic approaches would be really helpful!
