Hello Cleo,
For gallstones and gallbladder issues in a high-risk patient unable to undergo surgery, Ayurveda focuses on reducing stone formation, improving bile flow, and managing inflammation naturally. Start with. Syp Bhunimbadi Kwath (15 ml twice daily with warm water) to support liver and gallbladder function. Arogyavardhini Vati (1 tablet twice daily after meals) helps in bile regulation and detoxification. To relieve acute pain, take Shankh Vati (1 tablet as needed with warm water). Liv52 DS (1 tablet twice daily) supports liver health and bile secretion.
For digestion and preventing further flare-ups, avoid oily, fried, and heavy foods. Instead, eat light, well-cooked meals with bitter vegetables like karela (bitter gourd) and methi (fenugreek). Drink coriander and fennel seed tea to reduce bloating and discomfort. Castor oil packs on the abdomen help reduce inflammation. Regular warm water intake aids bile flow and prevents stone formation.
Since there is a history of irregular heartbeat and mini-strokes, Ayurvedic treatment should be taken under medical supervision. Do you experience nausea and bloating even with light meals? Let me know so I can suggest further dietary modifications.

I would need more details about your lifestyle and any specific tests or treatments you've undergone for your gallbladder condition. Have you had an ultrasound or any imaging to check the size and type of your gallstones? How have your blood pressure and heart conditions been managed, and what medications are you currently taking? Also, how often do you experience flare-ups, and are there any specific triggers you have noticed (e.g., certain foods or activities)?
From an Ayurvedic perspective, gallstones are often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs digestion and metabolism. The build-up of excess bile or heat in the digestive system leads to the formation of stones. Ayurveda focuses on calming Pitta, improving digestion, and promoting bile flow to prevent the formation of gallstones and ease symptoms.
Chandraprabha Vati and Kutajghan Vati are commonly used in Ayurveda to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and prevent further stone formation. Triphala helps with overall detoxification and aids digestion, which may help reduce the frequency of flare-ups. Punarnava is a potent herb that helps in relieving swelling and inflammation in the gallbladder and liver.
Gokshura and Bhumyamalaki are helpful in managing liver and gallbladder function. Turmeric (Curcumin) has strong anti-inflammatory properties and supports the liver and gallbladder. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is another important herb known for improving digestion and detoxification.
A Pitta-pacifying diet that includes cooling foods such as cucumbers, coconut, and leafy greens while avoiding spicy, oily, and fried foods will also help reduce flare-ups. Regular mild exercise like walking can also promote bile flow and prevent stagnation.

Okay, dealing with gallstones, especially for someone who can't have surgery, it's tricky but not impossible! First, you gotta be really cautious, considering the heart issues and all, but Ayurveda can def provide some help.
First thing, diet is super important. Avoid things that aggravate pitta like spicy, fried foods, and reduce the heavy stuff such as red meat. Eating more vegetarian meals can help, maybe focus on freshly cooked veggies, quinoa, and barley. They're easier on your system, aiding digestion.
Hydration's key, sips of warm water throughout the day are good, but also try to include turmeric in your diet. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric in warm milk or water might ease things up a bit.
Now there's some herbs like Guggulu. It's often used for such conditions but before you go for it, definitely talk to an Ayurveda practitioner! With all your other health issues, you wanna be double sure it's safe.
Castor oil packs can be soothing too—apply it to the abdomen (not too hot) for like 20-30 minutes. It mightn't work like magic, but it's worth a try.
Stress management, maybe through pranayama or simple meditative exercises, will help. Stress can mess up the doshas, making everything worse, right. Focus on simple breathing, early morning or before bed. Keep it real easy and non-strenuous, especially coz of your heart.
And, really, keep an open conversation with your healthcare provider before starting anything new. Some things might interfere with your current meds or worsen your heart conditions. With Ayurveda, the holistic approach combined with modern medicine could ease the pains and help manage symptoms. Loose and easy, that's key, and stay hopeful!
