TCM prescriptions for treating gallstones

Traditional Chinese medicine provides a unique perspective and method for treating gallstones, but serious gallstone problems require prompt medical attention. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of gallstones is related to eating habits, emotional factors, and dampness and heat in the body, forming a pathological state of "dampness and heat accumulation". Commonly used Chinese medicine prescriptions such as Da Chaihu Decoction and Jinqiancao Decoction are aimed at clearing away heat and dampness, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and helping to dissolve stones by improving the internal environment. The specific prescription selection needs to be adjusted according to the individual's constitution and symptoms.

In daily life, there are also some precautions that can help prevent and assist in the treatment of gallstones. The diet should be balanced, with more fiber-rich foods to promote bile excretion, while reducing high-fat intake to reduce the viscosity of bile. Maintaining moderate exercise can help promote metabolism and reduce the risk of gallstone formation. Mood regulation is also important, and try to avoid excessive mood swings, as this will affect the normal secretion of bile.

If gallstones have been diagnosed, herbs such as Lysimachia chinensis and Artemisia capillaris can help relieve symptoms, but it is best to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner before use to ensure the suitability and safety of the herbs. For some patients with particularly obvious symptoms or a history of chronic diseases, it is recommended to seek diagnosis and auxiliary treatment from Western medicine while receiving Chinese medicine treatment to ensure health.
