We received a question from one of our community members. She says

I have taken ayurvedic treatment but still have stones.

Gall bladder stones usually require any attention only if they are causing symptoms such as jaundice, pain etc. The common treatment method involves removal of the stones via surgery.

Additional info from her: My haemoglobin is decreasing day by day. I have neither pain nor jaundice. My haemoglobin is 7.5% today.In 2007 13%,2010 8%. Yes. I tried a lot but it keeps decreasing. Is it due to liver dysfunction? Haemoglobin breaks down into bilirubin.

Sorry to hear about your low hemoglobin! Low Hemoglobin is usually seen in cirrhosis or chronic kidney conditions or bleeding from ulcers etc. Do you have any such concerns? Yes hemoglobin breaks down into heme and globin, heme further breaksdown into biliverdin which is converted to bilirubin.
