After suffering from a hiatal hernia for six years (and trying three doctors, four chiropractors, 1 endoscopy, and around forty different herbal "remedies," I stumbled upon an exercise that actually brings relief: When the hernia is acting up, 1. I sit. 2. I take a deep breath, hold it. 3. Still holding my breath, I lift my knees as high and as long as I can. 4. I exhale and lower knees slowly (at the same time). 5. Walk around for a minute. 6. Repeat as necessary.

 

I can't believe this worked for me. I really thought I'd tried everything (AVC, aloe, charcoal, PPI's, slippery elm, blowing balloons, everything - I was seriously considering surgery), and this simple exercise is the only thing that brought relief. If anybody else gets the same relief from this exercise, I'll be even happier. Good luck.

I had hiatal hernia for 3 years and took slippery elm and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of ACV and it cured me for 11 years. Now it has started up again. The breathing exercises are helping. Thank you for your post.

I want to thank you, Laura for posting this. I, too had tried everything to fix the hiatal hernia. This is so simple and so effective. What a blessing!
