Chinese medicines have a certain effect of eliminating gallstones, the specific effect varies from person to person depending on the symptoms, but it is generally not recommended to use Chinese medicines to eliminate gallstones. Chinese medicine can also relieve pain, bitter taste in the mouth, poor appetite, abdominal distension and other symptoms caused by gallstones, but the specific use of Chinese medicine needs to be guided by a TCM practitioner under the guidance of diagnosis. Gallstones belong to the categories of rib pain and jaundice in Chinese medicine. They are usually caused by emotional disorders, eating spicy and greasy food, etc., which lead to liver qi being uncomfortable, spleen being unhealthy, and dampness and heat being generated within the body, which fry the bile, and then form the stones. Commonly used treatments for gallstones are dredging the liver and relieving bile (unblocking the qi of the liver and gallbladder), clearing heat and resolving dampness. Currently, commonly used Chinese medicines for treating gallstones include Cholestones Capsule, Anti-inflammatory Biliary Tablets, and Bile Shu Capsule. Adverse effects of Choleston Capsule are not clear, and it is contraindicated for people with severe peptic ulcer, heart disease and myasthenia gravis. The adverse reactions and contraindications of anti-inflammatory choleretic tablets and cholestyramine capsules are not clear at present. Gallstones patients pay attention to their own not blindly use drugs, but should be under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid aggravating the condition.
