I have a stone in gallbladder and want to cure my problem with out any surgery do you have any herbal medicine to clean my gall stone?

Gallbladder, a part of biliary system functions mainly as a storage organ for bile and bile pigments which are essential for digestion of fat.



When you have a fatty meal the brain signals the gall bladder to squirt some bile in the small intestine for fat digestion. Bile contains water, bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin and some proteins.



Gall stones are formed when this liquid in bile becomes too much or hardens. Cholesterol stones are the most common form of gall stones and are formed when excess cholesterol present in bile hardens.



When there is excess bilirubin in the bile then pigment stones are also formed. These stones, be it cholesterol stones or pigment stones can vary in size. They can be of few millimeters or few centimeters and depending on the type and size treatment option is decided by a specialist. Before taking any herbal medicines or supplements you should consult a professional.
Surgery may not be essential in all the cases as the majority of stones may produce no symptoms for years. Gall bladder stones are often known as silent stones and may require no treatment at all for some. But if your symptoms are severe then your specialist may suggest surgery as a treatment option depending on your condition and severity of symptoms.

You can discuss these options in detail with your specialist to weigh the pros and cons of each and decide your treatment option.
