About Hernia

A hernia occurs when an organ or fascia of an organ protrudes through the wall of its containment. Hernias most often occur in the region of the abdomen as a result of a hole or tear in the abdominal wall. Though symptoms vary, the protrusion can generally be seen and felt. They cannot be pushed back into the abdominal cavity without proper interventions, and though painless, may be chronic. Heavy lifting, straining during pregnancy, overstretching muscles, obesity, and extreme weight loss can contribute to the weakening of the containing muscles. Poor nutrition, smoking, and over-exertion can all contribute to the weakening of muscles, making hernias more likely to occur. These Nithya Kriyas were designed for care and cure of hernia.
