I'm wondering if anyone noticed my previous post regarding inguinal hernia. If anyone has taken 'Hernicare' with success to heal an inguinal hernia, I would appreciate them posting it on EC. Thank you so much. Would like to know if I would be wasting my money on this product. Thank you for a reply.

Best method to treat/cure an inguinal hernia is with a poultice of comfrey. This is applied to the skin, it is not a pill, nor is it a salve or cream.

5 weeks nothing with fresh comfrey and pine bark powder/collodial silver/castor oil and heat pad regimen..................

The.only thing that works=INGUINAL HERNIA BELT=VOILA.................DO MY MARTIAL ARTS/EXERCISE 4 DAYS A WEEK AND STILL JUICE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGGIES=HATE THEM BUT IN BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST 50 YEAR OLDS =71 COME SEPTEMBER 8TH

I have tried a comfrey poultice for several months but no success yet. The posting mentions: licorice, ginger root, chamomile, marshmallow root, hawthornia and shepherds purse. Are these to be taken as tea, capsules or even part of the poultice. Also any specific suggestions on preparing and using the poultice

Replied By Trucker Ray (Ohio Usa) on 08/08/2015

Are you making your own comfrey poultice, or did you purchase the one that has been researched and developed specifically for hernias for the past 30 years? There are several other added natural ingredients that go into the comfrey poultice which make it safe and effective in treating the hernia.

Replied By William (France) on 10/02/2015

Hi Ray,

I am interested in the comfrey poultice you mention, where can I purchase the type mentioned in your post.

Thnaks very much.

Replied By Trucker Ray (Ohio Usa) on 10/06/2015

Hunters, located in Maryland USA. Also, if you are over 30 years of age, you should consider Stem Kine supplement to accelerate the healing process. Both are remarkable. Research both and make your own decision. I can only speak for myself. I had an inguinal hernia and it did take 3 months before all signs of the hernia were gone. One word sums up my experience using the above mentioned. Amazing. I never would have thought that anything other than surgery would cure a hernia. Good luck to you!

Which supplement (not the poultice) - can't seem to find just the supplement on the website

Hi Ray,

Thanks so much for your reply and I'm sorry for the delay in responding Internet malfunction :(

Stem Kine supplement: How is this taken or applied I guess you know I'm a complete novice to Inguinal hernia's mine was diagnosed at the beginning of 2015 also is Stem Kine readily available? Thank you for all your kind help I hope to be able to find a mail order supplier as we have very little here in rural France :)

Take care and chat soon, Will

I tried HerniCare in combination with a padded spandex brief. It took me about six months to fully recover. The protrusion was gone, so was the pain.

Dear Kent, Thank you for sharing. Are you still hernia free? What size / kind was yours? Please can you give more details of your healing journey. Thanks in advance.

Replied By Nina (California) on 01/22/2016

Hi Ray,

I hope you are still on here.

I located the Hunters Store you mentioned and searched for the comfrey poultice, nothing turned up. Is there a brand name on the container you have?

Thanks for your help and info.

Hi Trucker Ray,

Just found your very encouraging post on comfrey and Stem Kind....I am 69 and just developed an inguinal hernia. It has been a few years since your post...just wondering how it has all worked out for you...has the hernia recurred, or, hopefully, everything is fine? Any other gems of wisdom on hernia healing you would like to offer? Thanks very much!

Hi Trucker Ray, I am 70 and have a double Inguinal hernia. The first one I got about 10 years ago and would consider it to be extreme because it is a lot more then just a bulge, but I learned to live with it with little pain. The second one on my right side I got in Feb 2016, finding it more painful, again exceeding more then just a bulge. I have tried hernia care with some relief, acupuncture again with some relief, hernia bible exercises with some relief. Last Feb, 2017 my wife found Hunters hernia poultice on line and talked to Dale, With 30 years of clinical experience we decided to give it a try. I am now starting to see some improvement but having severe hernias I expect it to take a long time to see them fully healed. Dale is a great person to talk to and very helpful and supportive. I am highly chemical sensitive so surgery is out of the question. Good luck and hope this helps. Capt Gary

Hi Ray:

I am going to try the Confrey poultice and the Stem Kine. I just place an order for both. I have tried the Confrey poultice from Hunter's in the past, but it did not work. I going to try it again with the Stem Kine. Maybe the Stem Kine was the missing link I need for the healing of my Inguinal Hernia. I have had this hernia for about 7 years now. I really want to heal it. Thank you for the tip on Stem Kine.

Replied By Capt Gary (Maine) on 10/10/2017

Hi Joe and other hernia sufferers, I have a post above and would like to add that I am still doing the Hunters hernia poultice. I have also started doing hydrotherapy which seems to be beneficial in acting like a catalyst for the poultice. I am seeing a lot of improvement but because of age [ 70 ] I'm sure it is still going to take a while to be hernia free. Along with the stem kine I am also taking colloidal copper and drinking aloe vera juice. I urge anyone that is thinking of using Hunters Hernia Poultice to call Dale at hunters. He is a great support person and can give you a lot of info. Good luck to all. Capt Gary

Hi Capt. Gary. Hope all is well!

I was just wondering how you made out with the Comfrey Poultice from Hunter's along with the Stem Kine. Is your hernia healed yet? I have been

using both myself since July 2023. In the last six months I have had considerable improvement of my inguinal hernia. It not yet fully healed but much better than it was when I started.

Replied By Steve (Chicago, Il) on 10/09/2017

I used it for 3 months, along with wearing a hernia belt, & quit lifting weights. The only improvement I had was my hydrocele went away. I still have my hernia. I've read they can take years to heal.

Replied By Elizabeth (Idaho) on 11/10/2017

I also use Hernicare with Spandex. I am also using KT Tape initially. I am near the end of my first bottle of Hernicare and my hernia has greatly reduced, no longer hurts, and 2 out of 3 days there is no visible sign of my hernia at all. I will continue this treatment as I am happy with the results so far.

Replied By Mike N. (Phoenix) on 11/16/2017

Trucker Ray,

Were you able to keep your hernia in while you were taking the stem kine and the Hunters? I am using the same 2 items but having a hard time keeping my hernia in while standing. Any ideas for me?

thank you,

Mike

Replied By Capt. Gary (Scarborough, Maine) on 12/11/2017

Hi Mike, I have the same problem trying to keep everything in tack when up and moving around, I have several hernia supports and the best ones I have found are the flat panel from gb and one from wonder care. Both I had to modifie to help work. Still working to make them more comfortable and user friendly for doing outdoor activities. I find it a hard challenge but with the benefits I am getting from the poultice, hernease, stem kine, copper and hydro therapy I feeel some day I will defeat the hernias. If you are not doing the hydrotherapy please consider it. I found that to make the biggest change for improvement and aids with the poultice. 5 min with hot water in the shower then 2 minuites with cold. working up to 7 reps 2 to 3 times a day. I find it helps a lot. Start slow and be careful with the hot water 103deg is plenty and work your way down to the cold. Takes time and getting use to, challenging and a lot of work. Check out Dr. Shulze Hydrotherapy for Hernias.

Good luck, Capt Gary

If natural remedies work, then I am all for it. Just some feedback on alternatives. I am an Australian (currently living in Sri Lanka), had an inguinal hernia and did a lot of online research and reading. I chose not to have mesh repair and took a trip to Pune in India to have the Descarda non mesh repair from Dr Descarda. Have to say, I was fairly nervous about the whole thing and worried I had taken a leap of faith way too far, to go with this technique - which I only knew of from info online. Anyway, that was now 3 months ago and it all went well. Was not really painful ever but rather only uncomfortable for some days here and there. I was walking around in India (street photographing) for many hours at a time only 3 days after surgery and was quite capable (mind you, in retrospect that was probably overdoing it a tad). I understand that the chance of the hernia returning is almost nil with this technique. The hospital for the operation was ok - ish (it is India) but the surgery theatre was certainly clean, equipped and modern. Check out the Descarda site online. I am just posting this in case anyone thinks its not legit. It certainly is and I am a content customer. If anyone would like any info about my experience with it all, just let me know.

Hello, are you still around? I'm interested in hearing more about the Desarda hernia surgery that you have chosen. I am considering having it done in the USA in Florida. Would like to know if you are an athletic person or at least a very active person and how you are holding up? Has the hernia or a hernia recur in the same area? I have a right side inguinal hernia and told that I would need surgery at this point, had it for over a year. But I still read about natural ways of healing. Considering one more try at a natural way of healing. But still want more info on the best No Mesh surgeries around.

Thanks and thanks for your posting.

Larry

Hi there. Did you have your hernia surgery in Florida, if so was it successful and may I ask who performed it? My son has a hernia and is looking at a group in the northeast that specializes in hernia surgery - non-mesh.

Replied By Lori (Eolia, Missouri) on 03/16/2023
Hi Bret, my husband has an inguinal hernia. Your post about going to India to have the Desarda Repair technique done, is quite interesting. Can you tell me how the repair is holding up? Are you still content with your results? Thank you so much 😊

Charlie, not everyone benefits from cold applications. Sometimes hot is better, and mostly - with clay - room temperature poultices seem to work well. I guess the body heats them up.

Hi, thanks very much for this. What is Hernicare? And what type of Spandex do you use? Did you have inguinal hernia confirmed by a doctor? Is the bulge gone? Would really appreciate more details. I have a small bulge in my right groin. Many thanks!

I'm using wide hernia belt (from Amazon) with big ceramic magnet (15 sm x 10sm x 1sm/ 6"x5"x1/2"). This helps a lot - place the magnet North pole toward the skin. In addition, I'm using comfrey ointment and Kanchnaar Guggul (according Ayurveda), Hawthorn and Tribulus. Also don't skip everyday to stay upside down by the wall. Takes time, but you will fell better wright away.

I have a scrotal inguinal hernia, the size of a grapefruit. Hunter's Health in Maryland did not reduce my hernia. I used the poultices for 6 months.
