HELLO SASWATI,

1) SIZE MATTERS- stones above 5mm, like the 8mm stone mentioned, are less likely to pass spontaneously. There’s a risk of blockage, which can cause acute pain, jaundice or pancreatitis.

2) MONITOR SYMPTOMS- if there is fever, jaundice, vomiting or severe pain, immediate hospitalisation is necessary.

3) HYPERTENSION- since. she is on Telma H 40, her blood pressure must be regularly monitored.

TAKE INTERNALLY

1) TAMRA BHASMA- 50 mg with honey once daily = breaks down stones, improves bile metabolism

2) SHANKHA BHASMA- 250 mg with water after meals =reduces acidity, helps bile flow

3) SOOTSHEKHAR RAS- 250 mg with honey twice daily =anti inflammatory, balances pitta

4) PATHARCHUR fresh juice- 15 ml daily on empty stomach =literal “stone dissolver” diuretic

5) VARUNADI Ghrita - 10ml twice daily before meals with water = dissolves gallstones, detoxifies

6) PITTASHEKHAR RAS- 125 mg twice daily after meals = pitta disorder, improves digestion, stone relief

HOME FORMULATION -varuna churna+ bhumyamalaki churna + gokshur churna + yavakshara + punarnava churna = mix all in equal parts, take 1 tsp twice daily with warm water after meals. continue for 3 months, then re-evaluate with repeat ultrasound.

* SOME REMEDIES ADVERTISED ONLINE LIKE APPLE CIDER VINGAR, OLIVE OIL FLUSES OR STRONG PURGATIVES CAN TRIGGER GALLBLADDER ATTACKS OR BILE DUCT BLOCKAGE AND SHOOULD BE AVOIDED.

DIETARY GUIDLINESS -Warm water, boiled veggies, rice -moong dal, lauki, apple, papaya - turmeric, coriander, jeera, ajwain

AVOID STRICTLY -oily, fried, spicy, sour foods -eggs, red meat, full fat diet - tea, coffee, carbonated drinks

IF FEASIBLE CAN OPT FOR PANCHAKARMA -VIRECHANA- clears liver- biliary system -ABHYANGA+ SWEDANA= improves bile flow -MILD YOGA- pawanmuktasana, bhujangasana - avoid during pain

Repeat ultrasound every 3-4 months to monitor stone size -if stone enlarges or if pain worsens, surgical intervention may become necessary despite conservative care.

THANK YOU

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

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

For gallbladder stones, particularly those above 5 mm, which include your wife’s 8 mm stone, it’s essential to tread carefully. Anytime symptoms are present, such as abdominal pain and digestive issues, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional first. Surgical intervention, like cholecystectomy, is a common recommendation in allopathy when the risks associated with gallstones, such as inflammation or blockage, are significant.

However, there are Ayurvedic strategies to manage gallstones carefully. Begin by supporting the body’s natural ability to balance and eliminate imbalances that could be causing stone formation. Ensure this is done under professional guidence:

Diet is always a first focus. Encourage Saswati to follow a Pitta-pacifying diet that is light, warm, and not excessively oily. Foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which are easy to digest can support her system. Avoid spicy, fried or sour foods that may aggravate the condition.

Triphala churna, an Ayurvedic herbal remedy, can aid digestion and elimination, helping manage digestive health. Mix a teaspoon of Triphala powder in warm water and consume it before bedtime.

Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) is another potentially beneficial herb for liver health. It can be taken in capsule form, but dosages should be personalized by an Ayurvedic practitioner according to her constitution.

Punarvana (Boerhavia diffusa), a traditional herb, might assist in balancing fluid retention and may aid in alleviating symptoms associated with gallstones. Again, consult with an Ayurvedic professional for the correct dose.

Include ghee as a healthy fat source in moderation to promote healthy bile flow but avoid if her Pitta is severely imbalanced.

Continuous medical monitoring is essential. Ayurveda can be a complementary approach; however, if symptoms like severe pain, jaundice, or fever arise, immediately seek conventional medical attention. Regular check-ins with her healthcare provider is important to evaluate her condition and treatment efficacy.

I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Kavita Sharma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with hands-on clinical experience from two well-regarded institutions. I completed six months of practical training at Patanjali Ayurved Hospital, where I was actively involved in patient consultation, Ayurvedic diagnosis, and implementation of classical Panchakarma therapies. My time there helped me strengthen my understanding of traditional formulations, personalized diet and lifestyle guidance, and integrative approaches rooted in ancient Ayurvedic principles. Following that, I served for another six months at the Government Hospital in Bahadrabad, Haridwar. During this tenure, I worked in a fast-paced environment, managing a diverse range of cases under the supervision of senior medical officers. This role sharpened my diagnostic skills, improved my ability to handle acute and chronic conditions, and gave me a broader view of how Ayurvedic treatments can be effectively integrated into public healthcare systems. These experiences have allowed me to develop a balanced and holistic approach to patient care, combining classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical clinical acumen. I place a strong emphasis on thorough patient history-taking, root-cause analysis, and long-term wellness planning. I am especially focused on building trust and communication with patients and continuously learning from both traditional texts and real-world practice. My clinical exposure has given me confidence in managing common ailments such as digestive issues, stress-related disorders, joint pain, skin conditions, and seasonal illnesses, while tailoring treatments to each patient's unique constitution (Prakriti). With a foundation built on authentic Ayurvedic principles and reinforced through practical experience, I am committed to offering genuine, compassionate, and effective care to every patient I meet.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.
