A hernia is caused by a torn membrane in your body. To fix it, you need surgery. There are no herbs that are going to cause that membrane to become repaired. Herbs can be used as a palliative or as a seasoning in your spaghetti sauce, but it can't perform miracles, despite what some web pages tell you.

Generally speaking, no there are not. There are potential herbal treatments for a variety of conditions that could replace a traditional drug, but a hernia is not one of those conditions. A hernia is the physical dislocation of part of your intestine and requires surgical intervention. No amount of a supplement will accomplish the same thing.
