Dear,An 8 mm gallstone is considered moderate in size, and while Ayurvedic treatments may help in some cases, it's important to understand that Ayurveda can manage symptoms, reduce stone formation, and sometimes help dissolve small stones, but success is not guaranteed,especially if the stone is already causing complications.
Also seing ultrasound is important,if the stone position is on neck of gall duct, surgery is only solution.

HELLO SASWATI MUKHERJEE,
WHAT ARE GALLSTONES?
Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder- a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile(used in digestion). These stones are mostly made of cholesterol or bilirubin
IN AYURVEDA,
Gallstones are referred to as "PITTASHMRI"- a type of Ashmari(stone disorder) caused by
-imbalanced pitta osha-excessive heat, bile
-faulty digestion-agin mandya
-improper metabolism of fats
-poor lifestyle and diet habits
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
-8 mm is a moderate-size stone. stones over 5 mm are less likely to dissolve completely through any method other than surgery
-Ayurvedic treatment may take months
-regular monitoring with ultrasound is essential to track changes in stone size.
-if pain becomes severe or signs of infection, jaundice or pancreatitis appear, surgery may becomes UNAVOIDABLE
TREATMENT GOAL
-dissolve existing stones- lekhana karma
-improve liver and gallbladder function
-enhance bile flow and prevent new stones
-address symptoms like pain, heaviness and nausea.
INTERNALLY TAKE
1. AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3-6 months
=liver detox, bile flow, reduces inflammation
2. TAMRA BHASMA- 45 mg once daily with honey for 30 days only
=known to help stone, breakdown, balances pitta
3. PUNARNAVA MANDUR- 1 tab twice daily before food for 3-6 months
=diuretic, anti-inflammatory, helps with liver-kidney detox
4. BHUMYAMLAKI CHURNA- 1 tsp powder twice daily after meals with ghee for 6months
=stone breaker, helps dissolve stones slowly
5. LIV 52 DS(himalaya)- 1 tab twice daily after meals for long term
=liver support, improves digestion, reduces bile stasis
6. TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm wtaer for 3-6 months
=regulates digestion and detoxifies colon.
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED STRICLTY
-warm water with lemon juice in the morning= stimulates bile
-boiled veggies- bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrots, spinach
-mung dal khichdi- easy to digest and detoxifying
-fruits- apple, papaya, pear, pomegranate
-Buttermilk-diluted, spiced with cumin and ajwain
-Whole grains- barley, oats, red rice
-Flaxseed powder- 1 tsp/day- regulates cholesterol
AVOID
-fried, spicy and oily foods
-red meat, eggs, butter , ghee
-cheese, panner, cream, ice cream
-chocolates, pastries, cakes
-cold water, aerated drinks, alcohol, smoking
-heavy legumes like rajma, chana- gas forming
YOGA ASANA FOR GALLBLADDER HEALTH
These improve digestion, reduce bile stagnation , and relieve abdominal discomfort
-Bhujangasana= stimulates gallbladder and liver
-Dhanurasana= tones abdominal organs
-Pawanmuktasana= eases digestion and gas
-Ardha Matsyendrasana= enhances liver and gall bladder health
-Vajrasana(after meals)= aids digestions
AVOID inverted poses like Sarvangasana or Halasana, which may worsen abdominal pressure
REMEMBER
1. MEAL TIMING IS CRITICAL- eat at fixed times to support digestion
2. STAY HYDRATED- drink warm water throughout the day avoid cold water
3. AVOID STRESS- practice pranayam like Anulom Vilom or Sheetali to cool down pitta
4. No SKIPPING MEALS OR FASTING- it aggravates pitta and worsens gallstone formation.
5. USE SPICES WISELY- turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fennel aid bile flow and digestion
WHEN TO CONSIDER SUGERY?
despite all above treamtent if,
-pain becomes recurrent or severe
-stobe bocks the bile duct
-inflammation(cholecystitis) occurs
-no changes in size after 6--9 months of treamtent
Then CHOLECYSTECTOMY may be necessary
Ayurveda works slowly and gently, aiming at root-cause correction. but it needs patience consistent lifestyle
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
