Seeking Home Remedies for Gallbladder Stones - #39970

Hello I completely understand your concern — having gallbladder stones for many years can be worrying, especially when you wish to avoid surgery. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Ayurvedic Understanding

In Ayurveda, gallbladder stones are correlated with Pittaja–Kaphaja Ashmari or Pittashmari, where Pitta dosha (bile) becomes thick and stagnant due to imbalance, and Kapha hardens it into small stones.

The Ayurvedic approach focuses on: –Liquefying and dissolving the hardened bile (Pitta-Kapha shamana) –Supporting liver and gallbladder function –Correcting digestion (Agni) and preventing recurrence

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food (Supports liver detoxification and improves bile flow.)

2 Lithorin 1-0-1 after food (Reduces inflammation and helps in bile regulation)

3 Bhumyamalaki Churna – 1 tsp twice daily with lukewarm water (Excellent liver tonic and helps in preventing stone formation)

4 Liv.52 DS (Himalaya) – 1 tablet twice daily after food ( Strengthens liver function and digestion.)

✅EFFECTIVE HOME REMEDIES

1. Triphala Water: Soak 1 tsp Triphala churna in warm water overnight; drink next morning empty stomach. ( Helps in mild cleansing of liver and gallbladder.)

2. Lemon & Olive Oil Detox (Gentle form): Mix 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp lemon juice and take on empty stomach daily for 10–15 days. ( Promotes bile flow and may help in softening stones (only if no pain or acute infection).)

3. Radish Juice (Mooli Ras): 30–50 ml fresh radish juice daily after breakfast. ( Acts as a natural bile expeller (Pittavirechaka).)

4. Cumin–Coriander–Fennel Tea: Boil 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup. ( Drink twice daily to ease digestion and bile flow.)

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Light, easily digestible foods — moong dal, rice gruel, lauki, tori, pumpkin. Cow’s ghee in small quantity daily (helps bile flow). Bitter vegetables like methi, neem, karela (in moderation). Amalaki (gooseberry), turmeric, and aloe vera juice (2 tbsp daily). Warm water through the day to keep bile fluid and prevent stagnation.

❌ Avoid

Fried, greasy, spicy foods, refined flour, red meat. Green leafy vegetables in excess during flare-ups (as you rightly avoid). Heavy night meals and long fasting Cold foods, ice cream, and alcohol.

✅Lifestyle Advice

Eat at regular intervals — never skip breakfast. Practice gentle yoga asanas like Pavanmuktasana, Bhujangasana, and Dhanurasana to stimulate bile flow. Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Sheetali Pranayama) to pacify Pitta and stress.

Ayurveda can gradually help reduce the size and symptoms of gallstones, support liver and bile function, and prevent recurrence when followed consistently for 3–6 months.

However, if you develop severe abdominal pain, fever, or vomiting, seek immediate medical care.

With the right Ayurvedic support, disciplined diet, and lifestyle, you can continue living symptom-free without surgery.

Wishing you a good health😊
