Your gallbladder is a small abdominal organ that assists with digestion. It releases a compound called bile into the small intestine to aid with fat breakdown and absorption. Bile particles can build up to form gallbladder stones, and if gallstones grow large enough, they can cause pain, nausea and harmful digestive problems. Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, treats gallstones by targeting metabolism and liver function.
Gallstone Development: Gallstones can develop from too much cholesterol or bilirubin in the gallbladder, or from the gallbladder not emptying completely. However, scientists are
unsure of the exact trigger that causes gallstone formation. If you are a woman, have a family history of gallstones, are overweight or obese, eat a high-fat diet or have diabetes, you are at greater risk to develop gallstones.
