Chanca Piedra is also used in herbal medicine for gallstones and one study indicates that Chanca Piedra has an effect on gallbladder processes. Gallstones form when cholesterol and bile pigments become so concentrated that they form lumps inside the gallbladder.
Acute pancreatitis is usually caused by a gallstone getting stuck in the bile duct on its way from the gallbladder into the small intestine. Since the bile duct shares the same opening with the pancreatic duct, a sudden obstruction of the pancreatic opening will cause pancreatic juices to back up into the pancreas. This leads to the pancreatic duct system becoming swollen and inflamed, potentially causing pancreatic damage.
