Can Ayurveda Cure My Gallstones? - #49062

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.

A 16 mm gallstone with multiple small stones is difficult to completely dissolve with Ayurveda, but Ayurveda can help in reducing symptoms, improving bile flow, preventing growth of stones, and sometimes reducing stone size if done properly and patiently (3–6 months). Results vary person to person.
