Hernia Herbal Poultice

Each poultice is wrapped in cling film and contains seven individually sealed strips. To prepare for use, unwrap the cling film and place one strip on a clean kitchen counter or table for about 30 minutes to thaw. Once softened, cut the strip into two equal pieces with scissors. Keep the unused half in the refrigerator for later use.

Gently slide the poultice out of its plastic covering. Peel away one side of the plastic backing, exposing the poultice surface. Apply a few drops of castor oil to the affected area to help the active ingredients absorb more effectively, then place the exposed side of the poultice against your skin. Secure it with a hernia belt.

If the poultice seems a bit dry, lightly mist it with water before application. Adding castor oil to the skin also improves absorption.

Application for Hiatal Hernia

For a hiatal hernia, position the poultice directly over the sternum. To find the correct spot, trace your finger down from the center of your chest until you reach the soft area just below the breastbone—that’s where the poultice should go. Use a wide hernia belt that wraps comfortably around your upper torso to hold it in place. Combine this treatment with the recommended herbal formula for hernia support, and always apply a few drops of castor oil before positioning the poultice.

Duration of Use and Aftercare

Wear the poultice for 8 to 12 hours, ideally overnight. In the morning, remove it and clean the area with 3% hydrogen peroxide or wash gently with soap and water.

With regular use, many notice significant relief as the comfrey’s natural properties support new tissue growth while easing inflammation and discomfort.
