Abstract

As a matter of fact, surgery (cholecystectomy or gall bladder removal) is the most common form of treatment for cholelithiasis (gallstones). However, the fact that surgically removing gallstones requires the removal of an entire organ has led to a growing interest in non-surgical treatments for gallstones. Besides alleviating symptoms, treatment for gallstones is necessary to avoid a progression that can result in severe conditions such as acute cholelithiasis. But so far as the medical management of cholelithiasis is concerned, it is not up to the mark in modern healing system. Although ursodiol or chenodiol in the form of oral bile acid pills, extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL), contact dissolution therapy [injecting a solvent known a Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) into the gallbladder to dissolve the gallstones], Percutaneous Cholecystostomy are good non-surgical measures, their roles are either limited or these are not free from adverse effects. Obviously, there is an urgent need of help from Alternative therapy to counter these difficulties. This article is a step in the direction of making an availability of a safe and effective non-surgical management of cholelithiasis to the ailing mankind.
