Umbilical hernia is a rather common surgical problem managed surgically worldwide. An umbilical hernia is a protrusion of abdominal cavity contents (greater omentum, transverse colon or small intestine) through umbilicus. This may include pain or discomfort especially while coughing, lifting heavy weight & doing exercise. This case report documents the successful non-surgical management of umbilical hernia in a 75-year-old female through individualized Homoeopathic treatment based on totality of symptoms and miasmatic assessment. The patient exhibited marked abdominal pain, distension, vomiting, cramp-like sensations, and aggravation from rest, eating, evening and night. Mental and physical generals were prominently expressed. Following the administration of an individualized remedy, significant improvement in pain, distension, vomiting, and overall general health was observed. The case highlights the potential of Homoeopathy as a supportive, patient-centred therapeutic modality in conditions where surgery is declined.
