Hernia:

 

Hernias are seldom life threatening, but can lead to complications,

especially when one is a diabetic. If the intestine actually gets

stuck in the opening, you can develop an intestinal blockages as

well.

Treatment for hernia is straightforward. I am including some

information to help.

 

Forget the truss. A truss is an elastic or canvas pad that keeps the

bulge from protruding. But trusses are bulky, and if the hernia

enlarges, a truss can choke off blood supply to it and complicate

treatment. Men get hernias much more often than women do, and most

of them are caused by heavy lifting. With these so-called inguinal

hernias, a piece of intestine slides through the abdominal muscle

into the groin or upper thigh area.

A hernia can result from an abdominal muscle wall that is weakened.

 

Food Therapy-

 

Eat vegetables raw, since cooking them depletes their potassium,

magnesium and calcium, the three nutrients most important according

to Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and president of the Whitaker

Wellness Center in Newport Beach, California.

 

Include more mineral rich foods in the diet. Raw nuts are an

excellent source of hard-to-get minerals, such as magnesium, copper,

and zinc. They're also a good low fat protein source and are rich in

potassium, fiber, folic acid, and arginine.

An ounce of almonds provides you with 80 mg of calcium. That's 8% of

your daily need. Many nuts contain small amounts alpha-linolenic

acid, however walnuts are by far the best source, followed by:

almonds,brazil nuts, cashews, and macadamias.

 

Certainly, fish provides a better high-quality protein source

without all the saturated fat present in meat and poultry. And some

kinds of fish --

specifically, fatty fish from cold northern waters, provide us with

omega-3 fatty acids, the special, unsaturated fats our bodies need

for healing.

Salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and bluefish are rich in

them, as is, to a lesser extent, albacore tuna.

Omega-3 sources other than fish are very few:

walnuts, flax seeds, and the oils extracted from them, and, to a

lesser extent, non-gmo soy, extra virgin Olive oil and organic

eggs.

 

 

Reflexology for Hernia-

Work the groin, colon and adrenal gland reflex points on both feet,

says St. Petersburg, Florida, reflexologist Dwight Byers, author of

" Better Health with Foot Reflexology " .

 

Mary Bove, L.M., N.D., a naturopathic physician and director of the

Brattleboro Naturopathic Clinic in Vermont, recommends herbal

massage oil. Start with one cup of extra-virgin olive oil or almond

oil (available in most health food stores).

 

Pour the oil into a bottle or jar and add the following herbs in

tincture form: 1 ounce of cramp bark, ½ ounce of lobelia and 1¼4

ounce of willowbark or wintergreen. (If you don't have wintergreen

tincture, Dr. Bove says to substitute 30 drops of wintergreen oil.)

These ingredients are also available in most health food stores and

through mail order

 

Aromatherapy-

For a fragrant massage oil, Los Angeles aromatic consultant John

Steele suggests a blend of anti-inflammatory blue chamomile,

analgesic birch, stimulating rosemary and soothing lavender

essential oils.

To prepare, says Steele, add three drops of blue chamomile, three

drops of birch, three drops of rosemary (or coriander), eight drops

of lavender and three drops of ginger (or black pepper) to ½ ounce

of a carrier oil such as olive, almond, grapeseed or avocado.

(Carrier oils are available in most health food stores.)
