Try the following home remedies for hernia –
- Avoid applying any pressure or warm heat over the swollen area of the hernia.
- Cold compress might help to control pain caused due to hernia. Take some ice cubes in a towel and apply it over the swelling area.
- To put less pressure on the stomach region avoid wearing tight fitted clothes around that region.
- Place brinks under your bed frame to elevate your bed around 6 inches. This will prevent acid reflux from the stomach to esophagus and help a lot in hernia. Do not use pillows to elevate the bed as they can increase pressure on abdomen.
- Eat small meals at frequent intervals and avoid spicy and fried/oily foods altogether for some time.
- Prepare fresh aloe vera juice and drink ¼ cup twice daily, once in the morning and again in the night.
- Losing weight will help to relieve pain and other symptoms of hernia. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and taking any kind of physical stress.
