  • Abstract:
  • Background: Cholelithiasis (gallstone disease) is a common gastrointestinal condition characterised by the formation of stones in the gallbladder due to bile supersaturation, hypomotility, and other metabolic disturbances. Although conventional medical and surgical treatments exist, there is growing interest in homoeopathic management owing to its holistic, patient-centred approach. Methods: This review compiles relevant scientific data, classical homoeopathic materia medica, repertorial analysis, and clinical case studies to explore the potential of homoeopathy in managing cholelithiasis. The methodology includes literature review, comparative remedy profiles, miasmatic evaluation, and reference-based validation. Results: Key homoeopathic remedies—Chelidonium majus, Lycopodium clavatum, Berberis vulgaris, and others—demonstrate efficacy in relieving gallstone symptoms, reducing inflammation, and preventing recurrence. Miasmatic profiling reveals a dominant sycotic background. Repertorial analysis aligns with clinical presentations of gallstone pathology. Conclusion: Homoeopathy offers a safe, non-invasive, and individualised approach to managing gallstone disease, particularly in chronic or preventive contexts. While not a substitute for surgical management in acute cases, it plays a valuable role in long-term care and recurrence prevention.
