Hernia In Ayurveda - #6351
My father has been diagnosed with a hernia, and the doctors have suggested surgery as the primary solution. However, he is hesitant about undergoing surgery and is looking for alternative treatments. I came across the concept of hernia in Ayurveda and wanted to explore if there are any natural remedies or therapies that could help manage his condition without invasive procedures. From what I’ve read, hernia in Ayurveda is often linked to imbalances in the vata dosha, and treatments focus on strengthening the abdominal muscles and improving digestion. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs or formulations that can provide relief from the symptoms of a hernia, such as pain and swelling? I’ve heard about herbal remedies like Triphala and Ashwagandha being used for similar issues—do they help with hernia symptoms? Additionally, does hernia in Ayurveda include lifestyle and dietary changes as part of the treatment plan? For instance, would following a specific diet or avoiding certain foods help reduce strain on the abdominal muscles? Are there yoga poses or exercises recommended in Ayurveda that can support recovery or prevent the condition from worsening? If anyone has experience with managing hernia in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your journey. Did the treatment work effectively, and how long did it take to notice improvements? Are there any risks or precautions to consider while following Ayurvedic remedies for a hernia?
