Doctors' responses
No. Ayurveda cannot reliably cure gallstones, especially with a 16 mm stone, multiple stones, and severe pain. What to do: See a surgeon/gastroenterologist soon — surgery is the definitive treatment. Avoid fatty, fried, and spicy foods now. Use Ayurveda only as support, not as a cure.
