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.

My mom is 62 and was diagnosed with a 13 mm gallstone last month. Her total bilirubin level just came back at 5.9 today and she's feeling extremely weak can barely stand. We're planning surgery next month but what tests or steps should we take now to bring her bilirubin levels down?
Given her high bilirubin level (5.9) and symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Her elevated bilirubin level, along with the 13mm gallstone, strongly suggests a potential issue with bile flow and possibly a blockage. The next steps involve confirming the cause, managing any complications, and preparing her for surgery
