Gallstone treatment
Hi, I have one 5 mm gallstone. Is it possible to dissolve it with ayurvedic medicine? If yes, how long will it take? I do not have any other symptoms and all reports are normal except slightly elevated tatal bilirubin count. Best regards Vikram

Hi Vikram ji, Yes — 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. ### ✅ **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. ### ⏳ **How long will it take?** Typically **8–16 weeks** (2–4 months). Some dissolve earlier (6–8 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. --- # ✔️ **Safe AYURVEDIC Medicines** (for dissolution) ### **1. ***Vati** * 1 tablet **after lunch & dinner** * Helps liver, reduces bilirubin, improves bile quality. ### **2. ***Amla or *****Capsules** * 1 capsule **twice daily** before food * Supports liver detox, helps reduce bilirubin. ### **3. ******* * 1 tablet **twice daily** after meals * Improves bile secretion. ### **4. Stone Dissolving Medicines** Choose any **one**: #### **Option A: Patanjali ****/ ****Churna** * 1 tsp **after dinner** with warm water. #### **Option B: Baidyanath ****Vati + ********** * 1 CPV after breakfast + 1 PM after dinner. #### **Option C: Himalaya ****** * 2 tablets **twice daily** (safe and mild) * Helps with bile/stone dissolution though more famous for kidney stones. ### **5. ***+ Black ****(½ tsp + pinch)** * Take in warm water after lunch * Reduces gallbladder inflammation & keeps bile thin. --- # 📌 **Diet to Dissolve Stone** Absolutely essential. ### **Eat more (daily):** * Warm water * Lemon water (1 lemon/day) * Fruits: papaya, apple, pomegranate * Green Moong dal * Plenty of vegetables * Healthy fats in small quantity: ghee ½ tsp/day ### **Strictly avoid (otherwise stones do NOT dissolve):** * Fried food * Oily/cutlet/chole/puri * Egg yolk * Red meat * Cream, cheese * Bakery items * Cold drinks * Very spicy foods * Long fasting ### **Weekly routine:** 1 cup warm water + ½ lemon + 1 tsp honey every morning. --- # 🧘 **Lifestyle** * Walk 30–40 min daily * No late-night dinner * Avoid heavy meals after 7:30 PM * Maintain regular bowel movement --- # 🩺 **Monitoring** Repeat the following after **6 weeks**: * Liver Function Test (especially bilirubin) * Ultrasound abdomen Usually stone becomes **smaller or disappears** within 8–12 weeks if diet is strict. --- # 👍 Summary ✔️ **Yes, a 5 mm gallstone can be dissolved naturally.** ✔️ **Time: 2–4 months** ✔️ **Ayurvedic medicines + diet are very effective at this size.** ✔️ **Your mild bilirubin elevation is manageable and improves with treatment.** --- If you want, I can suggest a **personalized, minimal-medicine plan** based on your digestion, sleep, acidity, and stool pattern — just tell me these details. Advice- self medication is hazardous, always consult ayurvedic doctor before taking ayurvedic medicine. Consult me personally for details

The issue is not the stone per se, the issue is the reason why a stone has formed in the first place. Once you get hold of that,a solution can be tailored around it. For that HAIP Root Cause Analysis is required and you need to follow HAIP DIET
