Hi. Gall stone removal can be done with cholecystectomy ( Gall bladder removal). no other option. However symptoms can be reduced with the help of Ayurvedic medicines and diet.
Diet including low fat diet ( fried , cheese, alcohol, red meat, ) . Also herbal or ginger tea is good to ease pain and improve metabolism. Also morning Ajwain detox water , or ccf tea can be helpful to relieve symptoms

From an Ayurvedic viewpoint, gallstones are often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha and impaired bile metabolism. While dissolving a 13 mm stone completely with herbal remedies may be challenging, certain approaches may help ease symptoms and support liver and gallbladder function over time.
• Include:
• Fresh, light meals such as steamed vegetables, whole grains (like brown rice or quinoa), and lentils.
• Bitter foods like bitter gourd and leafy greens, which help balance Pitta.
• Cooling herbs and spices such as coriander, fennel, and mint to aid digestion.
• Avoid:
• Oily, fried, and heavy foods that can aggravate Pitta and slow bile flow.
• Excess dairy, processed foods, and sugary items that may contribute to toxin buildup.
• Spicy and acidic foods which can further irritate the gallbladder.
• Engage in gentle exercises and maintain a regular daily routine to support overall metabolism.
• Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga and pranayama, as stress can worsen Pitta imbalances.
• Monitoring:
• Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic specialist is important, especially if you experience worsening symptoms.

13 mm stone may be asymptomatic now but you have to constantly monitor it. Ultimate treatment would be surgery. Ayurvedic medicine can’t help in reducing symptoms of indigestion during this time or post surgery.

Hi,
1. Could you describe the type of pain you experience with the gallstone—is it sharp or dull, and does it occur after eating or persist throughout the day?
2. How is your thyroid condition currently managed, and do you experience any symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or hair and skin issues?
3. Also, could you share what your typical diet looks like, especially regarding fatty or oily foods?
4. Lastly, do you experience other digestive symptoms like bloating or nausea, particularly after meals?

Ah, 13mm gallstone, and you've had it for a while now. At least there's no hard pain; that's a relief, but you gotta address it before it starts messing more with your daily life. Now, when it comes to blowing gallstones away using Ayurveda, it's about addressing your liver and gallbladder health, plus your Pitta dosha might be getting cranky.
To start, Chanca Piedra is a friendly herb. I know it sounds odd, but it's nicknamed "stonebreaker" for a good reason—take a talk with an Ayurvedic practitioner about its use. But remember, safety first—especially if you already take other meds.
So, diet-wise. Gotta keep it light and nearly fat-free. Use more moong dal and cooked veggies, just gentle on your belly, you know. Reduce the spicy, oily foods, these stoke the Pitta. Also, apple cider vinegar (a tsp in warm water before your meals) might calm things down for you, as it's said to help with this balance.
Drink a good amount of water with freshly squeezed lemon—it helps maintain your digestive strength. Solid no to skipping meals, too; it's not your gallbladder's friend.
Turmeric, and its active compound curcumin, would also be good allies here. The anti-inflammatory properties might be what the belly ordered! Just a pinch in your food oughta do.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol like it's your ex—they gall up bile flow and could stir up the stones.
For lifestyle changes, consider a mild yoga routine: poses that focus on stimulating your liver, like Bhujangasana (cobra pose). Keep stress at bay; your gut's often the first to know when you're stressed.
Now, none of these will replace solid medical advice. Make sure to check in with a healthcare provider—it's important that whatever you seek aligns well with your specific condition, okay? Stay tuned to your body's whispers, and act before they become yells.
