A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes upward through the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity, often via the esophageal hiatus. It may be sliding (more common) or paraesophageal. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to severe, including heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, dysphagia, bloating, belching, nausea, and epigastric discomfort. Risk factors include obesity, aging, chronic coughing, heavy lifting, or increased intra-abdominal pressure. Complications can include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), esophagitis, ulceration, or iron-deficiency anemia. Diagnosis is made via endoscopy, barium swallow, or imaging studies.

Homoeopathy focuses on reducing reflux, improving digestion, alleviating heartburn and bloating, and supporting esophageal and stomach function. Remedies are selected based on symptom type, aggravating/relieving factors, associated digestive complaints, and constitutional tendencies. Homoeopathy complements conventional care by relieving discomfort, improving appetite, supporting gastric motility, and reducing recurrence, particularly in chronic or mild cases.

Hiatal hernia is a structural disorder of the stomach and diaphragm causing heartburn, regurgitation, bloating, and epigastric discomfort. Homoeopathic management focuses on reducing acidity, improving digestion, alleviating pain and reflux, and supporting gastrointestinal function. Remedies are selected according to symptoms, aggravating/relieving factors, digestive patterns, and constitutional type. While medical or surgical intervention may be necessary in severe cases, homoeopathy can relieve symptoms, improve comfort, and enhance digestive efficiency, supporting overall quality of life.
