Folk medicine – often, instead of medications, people turn to folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases.
Folk medicine has a long and diverse history, which includes many herbal ingredients; however, its effectiveness in many cases is questionable.
For example, in the case of gallbladder stones, there are several folk recipes: with honey, lemon, olive oil, and so on, however, the result is often insignificant, because in the presence of stones in the gallbladder, the gold standard corresponding to world medicine
is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, during which resection (removal) of the gallbladder is performed.
Folk medicine – according to statistics, gallbladder stones are found in every fifth person in the world. In women, gallstone disease occurs twice as often as in men. As we said, its folk treatment methods are often used; many people try to resort to various plant-based treatment methods: for example, olive oil or semolina, but the stones in the bile remain in the same quantity.
Dissolution of a stone in the gallbladder may rarely be possible: if these are so-called soft stones and if ultrasound shows that a formed, hardened stone is not present.
A stone in the bile does not dissolve with herbal preparations and infusions. Therefore, in case of exacerbation of gallstone disease, the patient should consult a surgeon, because in case of negligence the disease may lead to the following complications: inflammation, pancreatitis, in some cases – secondary pancreatitis.
