Treatment for symptoms include:
- Diet
- Avoid bending over after eating

- Sleep slightly elevated
- Honey (raw and local if possible) - by itself or with herbal teas
- Apple Cider Vinegar (organic with "mother") - an incredible remedy for symptoms and has proven to work wonders for many.

Beneficial Tonic:
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Valerie Worwood: "This is both a male and female problem and is so common after middle age that it is almost considered a normal result of getting on in years. The rupture here is through the diaphragm, the layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that separates the chest and belly cavities, and is most commonly found where the esophagus passes through to the stomach -- the stomach pressing up into the gap being the usual problem. It is important to avoid overeating as this exacerbates the condition."

Testimonies
1. For my hernia, I was taking a little purple pill daily, but I replaced that with a glass of water and a drop of Digestion Support. My symptoms disappeared.

2. I was experiencing horrific heartburn and put 2 drops of Digestion Support in my water and it was gone immediately. Amazing!! - Joan
 

INGUINAL HERNIA
Valerie Worwood: As we have already discussed, this rupture is in the abdominal muscles above the scrotum. The bulge can be quite large. It appears just above the groin and can extend into the scrotum itself. Make your massage oil by using a total of 30 drops of essential oils from the list, or by following the formula:
Rosemary
Geranium
Cypress
Hyssop
Basil
Lavender
Ginger
Lemongrass (is another one to consider, but is not mentioned by Worwood)
 
Worwood’s Inguinal Hernia Blend
10 drops Ginger
8 drops Lavender
7 drops Rosemary
5 drops Basil
2 TB carrier oil


INCISIONAL HERNIA
This is caused by scar tissue failing to heal, usually after an abdominal wound or operation incision has become infected.

Palmarosa

Ginger
