Homeopathic Remedies for Hernia

The immediate reaction on seeing any abnormal swelling or lump in the body, particularly one that does

Hernia too, surgery is often considered the only option by the patients.Homeopathic remedies for
Hernia, can effectively treat the condition and that too without any side effects.
What is Hernia?
In medical terms, the protrusion of an organ or a part of an organ through an abnormal opening in the
wall of the cavity that normally contains it is referred to as Hernia. The main cause of Hernia is the
weakness of the abdominal muscles. This can either be congenital or acquired. The congenital weakness
of abdominal muscles is present since birth and the acquired muscle weakness results from various
factors like surgical incisions, repeated pregnancy, excess fat in abdomen, chronic cough, constipation
and even excessive weight lifting. Homeopathic medicines, which are sourced from natural substances
and are completely safe with zero side effects, are of great help in curing various types of Hernia.
Types of Hernia
Inguinal Hernia: This is the commonest type of Hernia. It can occur in infants or adults and since the
swelling is in the groin, the panic button is pressed quite early. In InguinalHernia, a part of abdominal
contents, mainly intestines, protrudes through the inguinal region of the abdominal wall. The inguinal
region is present in the groin.
Umbilical Hernia: This Hernia is more common in females than males and also in infants. In Umbilical
Hernia, the abdominal contents bulge out from the umbilicus or navel of abdomen.
Femoral Hernia: This Hernia is also more common in females and very uncommon in children. In
Femoral Hernia, the abdominal contents protrude through the femoral canal present in the upper inner
thigh region.

leading to intestinal obstruction.

with intestinal obstruction. Femoral Hernia is most liable to get strangulated.
