My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?

For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.

Question

I've been having this issue where every morning and evening, for about a week now, I feel super sick and start gagging uncontrollably, but I don't actually get sick. Plus, I've had these constant headaches that just won't go away, and there's no way I could be pregnant. What could be going on with me?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my SGPT levels. Currently, it's at 44 UL. Is this within the normal range, or should I be worried about it being too high? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Question

I've been dealing with GERD for 20 years and take PPIs daily. Even after changing my lifestyle, I still feel food getting stuck in my throat. Some doctors recommend surgery while others say it's not needed or might not work. I'm really confused and frustrated because GERD is ruining my life. Is surgery actually a permanent solution for this? I'm ready to consider it if it can help me finally get relief.
