Turmeric, Mustard Seed Oil Reducing Hemorrhoid

This worked on me with a hemorrhoid. Cotton ball sailed in mustard seed oil and turmeric powder. Consistency of a paste. Since your own anatomy acts as a covering, just place it topically at the anus and wear tight undies for the night to keep in place. My morning it reduced 90% and never grew back. This was 15 yrs ago. Now I have a lumbar hernia and it’s getting bigger . I want to try this exact recipe as a poultice over the bulging area but want to know if anyone else has tried this recipe with a lumbar hernia. (Recipe came from India healers, not very known here in the states)

Do you have a flank hernia and bulge or a herniated disc? Does any bulge reduce when you lie down? DIM (a supplement from crucifferous veggies) or anti estrogen meds may help as (some) rodent hernias will self heal in studies. So herbals and poultices have potential. I have an inguinal hernia and manage it for 15 years.
