    Cheonanthus virginicus mother tincture (base form unpotentized) works for most people. It's always best to see a professional Homeopath or Homeopathic doctor for an individualized prescription AND a review of your dietary habits to prevent future or continuing formation.

    There is also a Traditional Chinese Medicine protocol for the expulsion of gallstones provided they're under a certain size (if too big they'll block the bile duct on the way out and cause further problems).

    Homeopathy always seems to be the best approach because it's gentle and effective.

    No. Homeopathy is alternative medicine scamquackery. It contains no active ingredients. The remedies are made by taking some substance like a herb and diluting it in water or alcohol over and over, past the point where no molecules of the substance remain. Homeopaths think the water retains a 'memory' of the substance, and that 'memory' interacts with your body's 'vital forces' to correct the cause of the disease. Even worse, they think the more you dilute the substance, the more potent it's effects are...

    Homeopathy has never been substantiated to work beyond placebo effects for any condition, ever. It is totally absurd nonsense and is not going to have any effect on your gallstones. Don't waste your time and money on alternative medicine nonsense - just follow your medical doctor's (science and evidence based) advice.

    I work in a hospital and i can tell you that homeopathic medicine is a crock. I have seen many patients die because they believe that homeopathic treatment will work, this is not the case. If you have gall stones they will need to be removed surgically.

    Homeopathy is basically placebo effect.

    Instead of homeopathy, google for

    home remedies gallstones

    and you can find some interesting ones. Here, have a look at this:

    If you try any of the acidic remedies (e.g. lemon juice) swish out your mouth with water afterward to reduce tooth erosion.
