For general heartburn I take papaya enzyme. I dont know anything about hernias.
Ginger tea when slight discomfort hits. As low as 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in 8 oz water. Yogurt with some regularity. Fat free milk can be helpful. Diet modifications, eg eat oatmeal, serving of nuts, (fiber rich) and overweight issues contribute. From research on Google
In our house, Braggs apple cider vinegar is the go to heartburn cure. I cant help with the hernia question, but go to Sonnewalds and speak to their advisors, they should be able to answer your question. They have people very knowledgeable about the proper use of herbs and natural products.
