Question

Is umbilical cord wrapping effective for newborns with umbilical inflammation?

Answer

An umbilical hernia occurs when the umbilical ring protrudes. The umbilicus is located in the central part of the abdominal wall. During the process of embryonic development, this is the last part of the abdominal wall to close. Home remedies for umbilical hernia:

  1. Roast fennel seeds and wrap them in a cloth to apply heat to the affected area. You can prepare two packets at once for alternation.
  2. Grind white allium (Chinese chive) into powder, mix with water, and apply it to the navel area. Use moxibustion as an auxiliary method. Caution: Improper handling can easily cause burns to the patient.
  3. Take eight grams of hawthorn meat and fennel seeds (roasted), grind them into powder, and make into pills. Take one pill on an empty stomach with plain water.
  4. Mash scallion whites and salt together into a paste and apply it to the affected area.
  5. Roast evodia and salt separately until hot, then wrap them in a cloth to apply heat to the umbilical area. When cool, you can warm a hot water bottle and apply heat for 1-2 hours.
