Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been reported to reduce the painful symptoms of gallstones in some people. Although research is still ongoing to determine the effect of acupuncture in treating gallstones, few research studies have shown that it may help decrease the volume of the gallbladder and reduce painful symptoms in patients with cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). Though some sources claim that acupuncture helps relieve gallstones symptoms by lowering the intensity of spasms and encouraging bile flow through the gallbladder, other experts are afraid it might only help alleviate the symptoms of gallstones rather than treating them.[3]
