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.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results. My SGOT and SGPT levels are 21.3 and 9.20, which are in the normal range, but the ratio is 2.3. Is this something I should worry about? Everything else in the liver function test looks normal. Could you provide some insight into what this might mean?

I've been feeling this heaviness in my chest for a few days now, and it gets more noticeable when I eat. It's not affecting my breathing or swallowing, but I also have this ticklish sensation deeper in my neck that gargling hasn't helped with. Could this be something I should worry about?
