Balancing Doshas:

• Ayurveda views gallbladder stones as a condition primarily involving aggravated Pitta dosha, which affects bile metabolism and digestion.
• Treatment aims to balance Pitta dosha while also addressing other doshas based on the individual’s constitution (prakriti).

Herbal Remedies:

• Varuna (Crataeva nurvala): Known for its diuretic and litholytic properties, Varuna helps in dissolving gallstones and improving bile flow.
• Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and bile-stimulating properties, supporting gallbladder health.
• Triphala: A combination of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, Haritaki) that supports digestion, detoxification, and helps in maintaining bile balance.

Dietary Recommendations:

• Ayurvedic diet for gallbladder stones includes foods that support digestion, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
• Emphasizes foods high in fiber to promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation, which can contribute to gallstone formation.
• Avoids saturated fats, fried foods, processed sugars, and refined carbohydrates that can increase cholesterol levels and aggravate Pitta dosha.

Lifestyle Modifications:

• Hydration: Drinking plenty of water and herbal teas helps in maintaining hydration and supporting kidney function, which indirectly benefits gallbladder health.
• Physical Activity: Regular exercise improves digestion, metabolism, and helps in maintaining a healthy weight, which reduces the risk of gallstone formation.

Ayurvedic Therapies:

• Panchakarma: Detoxification therapies such as Virechana (purgation) may be recommended to cleanse the digestive tract, improve bile flow, and reduce Pitta dosha.
• Udvartana: Herbal powder massage to stimulate lymphatic circulation and support detoxification.

Stress Management:

• Techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises (Pranayama) help in reducing stress levels, which can influence digestion and overall well-being.
