4 Ways to Use Homeopathy to Treat Gallstones

1. Use Homeopathic Medicines

Homeopathic medicines are prepared from plant, animal and mineral substances and are prescribed for very specific symptoms. For example, there are not homeopathic medicines for gallstones, but there are specific remedies to use if you have specific symptoms. Gallstones that are causing "stitching sensations" would require the use of homeopathically prepared Berberis vulgaris , while gallstones causing nausea and an loss of appetite would necessitate homeopathic Chionanthus.

Homeopathics medicines are highly diluted preparations and typically dispensed in the form of tiny white, sweet-tasting pellets that you dissolve in the mouth. Homeopathics can be found in many health food and alternative medicine stores. Naturopathic and other alternative physicians commonly prescribe homeopathic medicines as specifically indicated by a person's total list of symptoms.

2. Use Homeopathic Chionanthusfor Gallstone Symptoms

Use homeopathic Chionanthus when experiencing episodes of biliary colic. Sufferers feel as if a slipknot is tied around their intestines, and is suddenly being pulled taut and then loosening very slowly over time. Chionanthus is also indicated for gallbladder episodes associated with nausea and loss of appetite, for headaches and for a heavy coat on the tongue. Use homeopathic Chionanthus every hour for acute episodes, or three times a day to improve general gallbladder function.

3. Use Homeopathic Dioscorea for Gallstone Symptoms

Use homeopathic Dioscorea for gallbladder pain that occurs in acute episodes characterized by twisting, boring pains in the abdomen. It is specific for pains that radiate to the right nipple or shoulder blade and are worse bending forward and better arching the back or walking upright.
Take a low potency every hour for acute episodes, or three times a day to improve general gallbladder function.

4. Use Homeopathic Berberis for Gallstone Symptoms

Homeopathic Berberis vulgaris is better if you have a sensation of "stitches" in the gallbladder region or pain in the upper-right quadrant of the abdomen that radiates to the stomach. Berberis is especially indicated for gall-bladder disease that is associated with constipation and sticking, stitching sensations. Take a low potency every hour to treat acute episodes, or three times a day to improve gallbladder function.
