Umbilical hernia if of the navel, femoral hernia is of the upper thigh and inguinal hernia is that of the groin. It produces swelling through the abdominal wall, or in the groin or in the upper thigh that increases under strain.

In the early stages it can be cured by doing simple exercises which strengthen the region, applying oak bark tea and apple cider vinegar fomentation or applying a poultice of Comfrey leaves. Hernia (hiatal) occurs, if the sphincter is too high up in the chest and acid flows up into the esophagus. It is common in overweight and pregnant women. Causes are due to increased pressure in the abdomen produced by vomiting, coughing, straining bowels, pregnancy or obesity.
