HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF GALL BLADDER STONESStones
forming in the gall ladder are usually of 3 types,either
cholesterol stones or stones made of some pigments found in the liver
or mixed stones. The exact cause of gallstones is not known but it is
more common in females especially above the age of forty,
in those who are obese with a high level of blood cholesterol. Many a
times these stones cause no problems & are detected accidentally on
an abdominal sonography. However symptoms when present can be of
many types. It could be just recurrent episodes of indigestion
& flatulence with slight abdominal pain or frequent backpains on the
right side or at times acute attacks of severe abdominal pain which makes
the patient very restless. This usually occurs when the stone moves from
the gall bladder to the bileduct & causes obstruction. Gallstones
can cause complications in the form of obstruction of the bileduct
leading to severe pain & jaundice or recurrent attacks of acute inflammation
of the gall bladder itself or a thickened, shrunken & malfunctioning
gall baldder. Usually surgery is advised & the gallbladder is removed.
Surgery becomes absolutely necessary in cases of obstruction or shrunken
gall bladder but if homeopathic treatment is started early enough
in the course if the disease, complications & surgery can be avoided.
Homeopathy dissolves the stones & removes the tendency to form
stones. However once the stones are dissolved & treatment discontinued
it is still a safe practice to get a sonography done once a year for a
few years to rule out recurrence.
Common homeopathic medicines / remedies for gallstones are: Cholesterinum, Chelidonium, Berberis vulgaris, Cinchona, Nux vomica, Carduus Marianus. |
