Gall Bladder Disorder as per Ayurveda

Gallbladder Disorder as per Ayurveda

Gall Bladder Disorder as per Ayurveda, also known as PRATISHYAYA is mainly due to vitiation of DOSHAS (Vata, Pitta & Kapha).

Let’s Understand Gall Bladder Disorder

The gall bladder stores bile, a digestive fluid that the liver produces, which is required to help digest dietary fats in the small intestine. Normally, the acidic bile prevents cholesterol from becoming too concentrated. However, if too much cholesterol is present in the bile, it crystallizes in the gall bladder, forming gallstones. Gallstones that remain in the gall bladder typically produce no symptoms. If a gallstone exits the gall bladder, it can cause pain and other symptoms.

Gallstones usually begin producing symptoms when they obstruct the duct that leads from the liver to the gall bladder or the duct that leads from the gallbladder to the small intestine. Once lodged in one of these ducts, the stones may produce painful spasms and inflammation at the site of the obstruction.
