Hey, so 7mm’s a decent-sized stone you’ve got there. Gallstones can be tricky! While surgery’s usually the go-to when stones are that size, Ayurveda’s got a few tricks up its sleeve that might bring you some relief, or at least manage the symptoms.
First off, yeah, kulthi dal (horse gram) is a popular remedy in Ayurveda for gallstones. Its heating properties can help in reducing the stone size, though not magically overnight. Try making a simple soup, and have it once daily. Soak it overnight, boil it, and throw in some spices like cumin and turmeric—these guys boost the digestive fire, or agni, that Ayurveda talks about. But, remember, moderation’s key, 'cause too much heat can be a problem too!
Diet-wise, stick to whole grains, vegetables, and avoid oily, fried snacks—yeah, easier said than done, right? But really, fatty and spicy foods can trigger that post-meal discomfort you’re feeling. Drinking warm water in between meals could also help in smooth digestion.
Remember herbal concoctions like Avipattikar churna – it supports digestion and could ease some symptoms, but don’t expect miracles overnight. With a stone that size, progress can be a bit slow. Consistency in your routines, with patience, will be crucial.
Some folks claim to see changes in weeks, others in months, it really varies. But, keep an eye on symptoms—if you get sharp pain, fever, or jaundice, you need to act fast. Don’t let things brew. Consult with a local Ayurvedic doctor to tailor remedies specific to your prakriti.
Long-term commitment’s big here. Let your doctor know about any alternative remedies you want to try. It’s about finding that balance, and knowing when to seek more urgent care if needed! Safety first, always.
