Since you’re planning for hernia repair surgery next month, and this is your first surgery, our focus in Ayurveda is to prepare body tissues in advance support, proper dealing after surgery and avoid anything that may interfere with anaesthesia or clotting

You may continue a simple nourishing diet as you already doing Include freshly cooked food, adequate protein from dal moong milk, curd ghee seasonal vegetables, and fruits Avoid spicy fried fermented packet food at least one week before surgery Ensure proper hydration And regular bowel movement as straining worsens , hernia Healing
Ayurvedic support before surgery, you can start with Ashwagandha churna 1 teaspoon with warm milk at night, which will help in tissue, strength, stress, control, and recovery potential Giloy tablet one tablet twice daily after food with warm water which will help in supporting immunity and inflammation control Triphala churna 1 teaspoon with warm water at night, if bowels are not regular
Stop all herbal medicines at least 5days before surgery, which have mentioned ie ashwagandha Giloy and triphala unless your surgeon specifically allows them This is important because to avoid any drug interaction
After surgery, once oral intake is allowed and your surgeon confirm stability that is usually after seven days, Ayurvedic medicines can safely be restarted you even can continue post surgery for few months
Hello You’re smart to think about getting ready for your hernia surgery next month. Prepping your body both before and after the operation can really help with healing, strength, and keeping problems away.
YOUR CONCERN (THE SHORT VERSION)
–Surgery for a hernia next month –No past surgeries –Eating well, good diet –No allergies at all –You want to heal faster, get strong again, and have fewer issues.
HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT
Hernia repair involves: –Muscle injury –Damage to connective tissues –After surgery, you might feel more pain, heal slower, or feel weak due to Vata getting out of whack.
Ayurveda focuses on: –Healing wounds –Helping tissues regrow –Calming Vata –Stopping infections and scarring
TREATMENT GOAL
–Heal wounds quicker –Stronger muscle and tissue repair –Less pain and swelling –No weakness or hernia coming back –A smooth recovery, no hitches
AYURVEDIC HELPS FOR HEALING
A. START 7 DAYS BEFORE SURGERY
Guduchi (Giloy) Tablet 1-0-1 after food This helps your immunity and healing.
Ashwagandha Churna ½ tsp at night with warm milk or water This makes your tissues stronger and helps with stress.
B. START AFTER SURGERY (once you can eat again)
1. Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice a day after meals 3–4 weeks Great for healing wounds and stopping infections.
2 Ashwagandha Churna Keep taking ½ tsp at night Good for muscle recovery and strength.
THINGS TO DO ON THE OUTSIDE (VERY IMPORTANT)
After your stitches are out: –Gently put oil on the area. Use: –Jatyadi Taila (if your scar is sensitive) –OR Bala Taila (for muscle strength) Just a light touch once a day.
FOOD FOR QUICK HEALING
✅ INCLUDE Warm, freshly made food Moong dal, rice, veggies Milk (if you can handle it) Cow ghee – 1 tsp daily Pomegranate, apple Enough protein (dal, paneer, tofu)
❌NO, AVOID THESE (for 4–6 weeks) Foods that make you constipated Fried and junk food Too much tea/coffee Eating late at night And seriously, don’t strain when you go to the bathroom – super important after hernia surgery.
LIFESTYLE TIPS
–Listen to your surgeon about: –Resting in bed –Not doing too much activity –How long to avoid lifting heavy things –Just gentle walking (no straining) –Get enough sleep
WHAT YOU SHOULD NOTICE
–Less pain and swelling after surgery –Wounds closing faster –Better muscle strength –Less tiredness –A smooth recovery
Mixing modern surgery with Ayurvedic help usually gives the best results. Just having this mindset of preparing yourself already helps with recovery.
Hope your surgery goes well and you bounce back fast!

1.Triphala churna 3/4 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water 2.Haridra capsule 1 cap once daily with warm milk or water 3.Amla-1 fresh fruit or 10–15 ml juice daily 4.Ashwagandha churna 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals
🍲 Diet Tips for Healing - Include: Warm milk, ghee, moong dal, leafy greens, carrots, beetroot, pomegranate, dates, almonds. - Avoid: Heavy fried foods, excess red meat, cold/stale food. - Hydration: Warm water or herbal teas (ginger, tulsi).
🧘 Lifestyle Support - Gentle walking after surgery (once cleared by surgeon). - Deep breathing exercises (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) to improve circulation and calm stress. - Adequate sleep — critical for tissue repair.
You will have to eat healthy and keep on with your antibiotics to enhance healing.
Include dals, boiled eggs, enough hydration, one fruit a day (avoid if you are diabetic) and this will fasten healing.
You can take Amala juice 10ml+ Aloevera juice 10ml twice daily after food with water. Do not take any other medicines before surgery and after surgery as any reaction, the surgeon will get confused. After completion of antibiotics, post surgery you can start with : Giloy ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water will help improve immunity and reduce inflammation. Triphala guggul 1-0-1 after food with water, will help in healing . Avoid sour food. Should avoid having any problem of cough and constipation as these aggravates post surgical complications.
