My wife has an 18 mm stone in her gall bladder and sometimes she feels pain because of it. I'm wondering if there are ayurvedic treatments for this or if she will have to rely only on allopathic medicine.

For an 18 mm gallbladder stone, Ayurvedic treatments like certain herbs (e.g., Gokshura, Triphala) may help manage symptoms, but they might not dissolve large stones. Allopathic treatment, including possible surgery or non-invasive methods like lithotripsy, is usually recommended for stones of this size. It's best to consult a doctor for a personalized approach.
