Natural treatment for gallstones
- Drink coffee and eat nuts containing unsaturated fats. Avoid carbohydrates and consume calcium phosphate.
- Take 4 cups of water and add 1tsp of Oregon grape root, 2 tsp of marshmallow root and 1 tsp of peppermint in it. Let the water start to boil and then lower the flame and let the mixture simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove it from the heat and add 2 tsp of dried dandelion leaves or 1 tsp of its root in it. Leave it to steep for another 15 minutes and either drink it immediately or refrigerate it. You can drink it during the day after all your meals. Oregon grape increases blood flow to the liver and generates increased bile production. The diluted bile juice helps in flushing out the gallstones. Chamomile, marshmallow and slippery elm teas are also very effective for gallstones as they decrease gallbladder inflammation and are very soothing for the stomach.
- Another herb called Rosemary also stimulates bile production and takes care of spasms which might be occurring in the bile duct. Its flavor aids in digesting the fats in the rich foods.
- If concentrated mint oil capsules are taken for a few months, small gallstones can be eliminated from the gallbladder.
- Wild yam is also an antispasmodic herb which increases bile juice production and lessens any pain due to gallstones.

Natural treatment for gallstones
- Drink apple juice for two consecutive days. Mix 3 ounces of dark olive oil and 3 ounces or freshly squeezed lemon juice on the second night and drink it at an interval of 15 minutes till the solution finishes. On the 3rd day, the stones would pass.
- Apple and citrus fruits are very helpful in treating gallstones due to their pectin content.
- Take 2 tsp of the herb called Quebra Pedra and dissolve it in 500ml of water. Finish drinking it in 1 day and continue having this for at least 1 month or two at the most.
- In 200 ml of water, mix 30 ml of lemon juice and 30 ml of virgin olive oil. Drink it 1 hour before bedtime for 6 days continuously. If you feel nausea, lick honey or chew some cardamoms and sleep on the right side. During these 6 days eat only fruits, oats, rice, barley and green gram. On the 6th night, mix 6 oz of olive oil, 6 oz of water and 3 oz of lemon juice and on 7th day eat only guava and apple and have your dinner by 6 pm. At 9 pm drink this mixture over a period of ½ an hour and lick honey if you feel sour. Sleep only after 1 hour. The following day, the stones would start passing. Do not eat anything on the 8th day. You can sip hot water or some fruit juices and repeat this 8-day process if some stones have remained.
- Calcium phosphates are effective in treating gallstones.
- Drink coffee regularly and avoid junk food. Drink a minimum of 1 liter of water everyday.
- Eat nuts containing unsaturated fats.
- Eat a balanced and nutritious diet and reduce your intake of carbohydrates.
