13mm Stone In Gallbladder - #4738

Anonymous

A few weeks ago, I started experiencing sharp pain in my upper abdomen, especially after eating fatty meals. An ultrasound revealed that I have a 13mm stone in my gallbladder. The doctor suggested surgery, but I want to explore natural and non-invasive options before going down that path. I came across Ayurveda as a possible approach and wonder if there’s any way to manage or dissolve a 13mm stone in gallbladder using Ayurvedic methods. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda focuses on breaking down gallstones and improving bile flow through dietary changes, herbal medicines, and detox therapies. Are there specific remedies or herbs that can help reduce a 13mm stone in gallbladder? I’ve heard about ingredients like Kulatha and Gokshura – are these commonly used for gallstone treatment in Ayurveda? Another question I have is about dietary restrictions. Should I completely avoid oily and spicy foods, or are there specific meal plans for managing a 13mm stone in gallbladder? I’m also curious if Panchakarma therapies, like Virechana, are recommended for a 13mm stone in gallbladder. Can these therapies provide any long-term relief or prevent future stones? If anyone has treated a 13mm stone in gallbladder naturally, how effective was it? Did the stone reduce in size, or was surgery still necessary? I’d also like to know if there are any risks involved in trying Ayurvedic remedies for a 13mm stone in gallbladder and whether I should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner first.

Doctors’ responses

Ayurveda offers natural remedies that may help manage gallstones, but results vary. For a 13mm stone, herbs like Kulatha (horse gram) and Gokshura are known for their potential to improve bile flow and break down stones. Chanca Piedra (Stone Breaker) is also commonly used for dissolving stones. Dietary adjustments are key: avoid fatty, spicy, and processed foods, while including easily digestible foods like whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins. Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (medicated purgation) may help detoxify and reduce the formation of new stones by balancing Pitta and improving bile flow, but these should be done under professional supervision. While Ayurvedic methods may reduce symptoms and support bile health, surgery might still be necessary for stones of significant size or if complications arise. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting treatment to ensure safety, as certain herbs and treatments may interact with medications or be inappropriate for some individuals.
