Hi Vikram ji,
Yes â a **single 5 mm gallstone** *can often be dissolved or reduced* with Ayurvedic treatment **if it is cholesterol-type**, not pigment stone. Most gallstones of this size are cholesterol stones, especially when
liver function tests are normal.
### â
**Is it possible to dissolve a 5 mm stone?**
**Yes.** In Ayurveda, we aim to:
* liquefy accumulated pitta
* improve bile flow
* reduce cholesterol saturation in bile
* reduce inflammation of gallbladder
* slowly break/dissolve the stone
Stones **below 8 mm** respond the best.
### â³ **How long will it take?**
Typically **8â16 weeks** (2â4 months).
Some dissolve earlier (6â8 weeks), depending on diet and metabolism.
Since you **have no symptoms** and only *slightly elevated bilirubin*, this is the ideal stage to try Ayurvedic dissolution therapy.
