Gentle and Holistic Treatment for Hernia with Ayurveda
Hernias can be painful and disrupt daily life, but Ayurveda offers natural and effective solutions for managing and alleviating symptoms without invasive procedures. At Dr. Rekha Health Wisdom Ayurveda and Panchkarma Centre, we combine ancient wisdom with modern practices to address hernia conditions holistically.

Understanding Hernia in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, hernia is often referred to as “Antra Vriddhi,” which results from imbalanced doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). It occurs when internal organs protrude through a weakened abdominal wall, leading to discomfort, pain, and other complications.

• Vata Imbalance: Weakens abdominal muscles and causes irregular movements.
• Pitta Imbalance: Triggers inflammation and acidity, exacerbating the condition.
• Kapha Imbalance: Causes stagnation and heaviness in the affected area.

Our Ayurvedic approach aims to restore the balance of doshas, strengthen abdominal muscles, and improve digestive health.
