Ayurveda on Hernia Treatment

Some types are hernias are considered curable in Ayurveda while some don't. Incisional Hernia is one of those types which can't be cured by ayurvedic medicines. If there is no pain your hernia and its size is not large then surgery will not be suggested by any doctor. But your condition is severe then even the ayurvedic doctors will suggest surgery as the better option.

Ayurvedic Medicines for Hernia


There are various types of Hernia and therefore we can't suggest a single medicine for all types of hernias. Sometimes the ayurvedic medicine is given to give relief from some symptoms. For example constipation can cause some types of hernia and can make hernia worst, therefore ayurvedic medicines are given to get relief from constipation. If you think that those were medicines for hernia, then you are wrong. So its better to take prescription from an ayurvedic practitioner after describing your complete hernia condition. There is Hernia Ayurvedic Medicine Package available in the market, but we suggest you to consult a ayurvedic doctor before taking it.
