Gallstones treated successfully by Homeopathy

Cholelithiasis is the presence of one or more calculi (stones) in the gallbladder, (a hollow organ found underneath the liver, which stores the digestive enzyme bile). The stones have a tendency to form in the gallbladder but can also be formed in the bile duct when the duct gets narrowed or the gall bladder is removed. This condition is fairly common and affects 11% of the general population. Risk factors include obesity, increased age and heredity. Women are twice as likely to develop gallstones.

Ms. Mangamma (name changed), 44 years old, was suffering from recurrent upper abdominal pain along with bloating, nausea and vomiting. Her pain at times incapacitated her and prevented her from carrying out her day-to-day activities. Unable to bear the pain any longer, she rushed to a Government hospital where she was diagnosed with gallstones and advised surgery. Ms. Mangamma could not afford the surgery at the time and resorted to allopathic medications that provided only temporary relief.

After having tried various treatment options in vain, she followed her friend's recommendation and visited Dr. Batra's^® Positive Health Clinic. The doctor at Dr. Batras advised an ultrasonography and the reports revealed multiple stones, the largest two measuring about 6 mm and 7 mm respectively. Apart from homeopathic medicines, she was advised dietary modifications, by the in-house nutritionist, and regular exercise to reduce her weight.

As the treatment progressed, she found a considerable reduction in the frequency and severity of her pain. Her abdominal bloating and nausea reduced, enabling her to resume her daily activities. A repeat scan after some months showed no new formation of gall stones and the size of the largest stones had reduced considerably.

A homeopathic medicine, when started at the right time during the course of the disease helps to avoid complications as well as surgery. It also helps to provide immediate pain relief without any side-effects, besides also reducing the chances of recurrence of the pain. Homeopathic medicines, thus, facilitate the dissolution of gallstones.
