Use Essential Oils

Odorless oils, such as lavender and peppermint, can be used in a diffuser or applied directly to the affected area. Avoid essential oils with an aroma because they may cause irritation.

Lavender oil is one of the most well-known essential oils for pain relief. It can be used topically or inhaled to provide fast-acting relief from the symptoms of a hernia.
