Collection: Hiatus Hernia
What is a Hiatus Hernia?
A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. This condition often leads to acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, difficulty swallowing, and chest discomfort. It can be caused by weak diaphragm muscles, obesity, chronic coughing, straining, or poor posture.
Managing a hiatus hernia naturally involves supporting digestive health, reducing inflammation, and strengthening diaphragm muscles to prevent acid reflux and ease symptoms.

Natural Ways to Manage & Prevent Hiatus Hernia Symptoms
To ease discomfort and prevent flare-ups, incorporate the following strategies:
Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals – Large meals increase pressure on the stomach and diaphragm.
Stay Upright After Eating – Avoid lying down for 2–3 hours after meals to prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
Elevate the Head of Your Bed – Sleeping at a slight incline helps gravity keep acid in the stomach.
Avoid Trigger Foods – Reduce intake of caffeine, alcohol, citrus, spicy foods, and processed meals.
Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing – Strengthens the diaphragm and helps reduce hernia recurrence.
Maintain a Healthy Weight – Excess belly fat increases pressure on the diaphragm.
