Herbal Aids for Hernia

Hernia

A hernia commonly refers to the escape of some part of the intestine from the

abdominal cavity, through an opening in the abdominal wall. The intestine is

pushed out from the inner body, often to a point just below the surface of the

skin. When it reaches this point, we have a visible hernia. At first it is about

the size and shape of a marble, and grows larger as more and more of the

intestine escapes. [NL 1-8]

 

Symptoms

 

Extreme pain in the abdominal area whenever there is an exertion, such as

bending over, leaning back or any other small movement involving the abdomen.

 

Cause

 

Early in life the male infant can encounter complications. Two months before

birth, the testicles descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum. They

descend through the inguinal canal which soon closes behind them. If the canal

doesn't close, however, this could be a later trouble spot for a hernia

precipitated by muscle weakness and sudden heavy lifting. [NL 3-6]

 

Other causes are from overexertion in lifting which can cause the tear in the

abdominal wall.

 

Herbal Aids

 

BF & C: Dr. Christopher's Bone, Flesh and Cartilage Formula: A number of

patients with hernias and ruptures have used the " bone, flesh and cartilage "

formula with great success. This formula, which will be given, is applied over

the afflicted area as a fomentation a day and night, using a truss or pad to

hold in place. Then soak some flannel in this tea and apply. It can also be

obtained in a concentrated liquid form or as an ointment. Use whichever type is

best in your case. It is also helpful to take the formula internally as a tea,

or in capsule or tablet form--two or three of these three or more times per day:

This can be purchased under the Christopher name of Bone, Flesh and Cartilage.

[bF & C]

 

Bone, flesh and cartilage (comfrey combination fomentation). This is an aid for

malfunction in bone, flesh, sinews, etc. Make a tea of the following herbs: six

parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, two

parts wormwood, one part lobelia, one part scullcap, six parts comfrey root,

three parts walnut bark (or leaves), three parts gravel root. Soak the combined

teas in distilled water, then soaking four to six hours, simmer thirty minutes,

strain and then simmer the liquid down to 1/2 its volume and add 1/4 vegetable

glycerine (if desired). Example: One gallon of tea simmered (not boiled) down to

two quarts and add one pint of glycerine.

 

Soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetics (never use

synthetics). Wrap the fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunctioning area

and cover with plastic to keep it from drying out. Leave on all night six nights

a week, week after week, until relief appears.

 

Drink 1/4 cup of finished concentrated tea with 3/4 cup of distilled water three

times in a day. [NL 1-8]

 

Cleaning Bowels: For hernias we recommend keeping the bowels clear and open

through the use of the lower bowel formula, [Fen LB] plenty of fresh juices, a

light, mucusless diet to eliminate the strain of bowel movements, and the

application of the Bone, Flesh, and Cartilage Formula [bF & C] to the hernia

area as a fomentation. All stress and strain on the area must be removed while

the area is healing. The fomentation should be applied in the evening so that it

can remain on the area all night. During the daytime, the BF & C ointment can be

used if the fomentation is inconvenient. BF & C capsules or tea may also be taken

daily: either two or three capsules three times daily or three cups of the tea.

Continue treatment six days a week fasting with distilled water on the seventh

until the hernia is healed. [NL 3-6]

 

Testimonials

 

A friend of mine, who was scheduled for a hernia operation earlier this year,

suggested I write to you. After he read your book " The School of Natural

Healing " and followed your suggested guidelines for a week to ten days, his

hernia problem was solved. Needless to say, he can't say enough good things

about your use of herbs and the book. [NL 1-8]
