Brief Answer:
Dietary and lifestyle management.

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following is/are recommended guidelines:

1. Gall stones due to under active thyroid [hypothyroidism] has shown to improve with Conservative line of treatment, but if due to other causes, medicines are not effective to that much extent.
2. any associated high cholesterol, or low thyroid profile or blood sugar.??
3. any history of recurrent pain-jaundice-fever.?
4. any information by the doctor [whether cholesterol or pigment stones]?
5. any intolerance to FAT [nausea,vomiting]?

PS
. if we look into the Anatomy of Gall bladder, one will come to know, why it is difficult to remove them with Medicines, and Surgery is the best Available Treatment, if still you want to try Conservative treatment, dietary regime and lifestyle modifications is as follow:

1. Take:
. Cucumbers, Green beans, Sweet potatoes, Avocados, Vinegars [all types], Garlic, ripe tomatoes, lemon juice in the morning with hot water, apples, berries, papaya, pear.
. Vegetable juices - Beet and cucumber are especially helpful to gallbladder, avoid cabbage.
. Avoid all fruit juices except organic grape juice and organic apple: fresh, self-juiced is best [ dilute with water before drinking]
. High fibre [fresh fruits and vegetables] and low fat diet [skimmed milk], hing, old brown rice, barley, horse gram, moong dal, ginger, green leafy vegetables, oil massage, boiled water,

2.Avoid:
. Eggs, Onions, Beans and legumes,Coffee,Oranges, grapefruit,nuts,fried Foods, Spicy foods,Chocolate,Ice cream,Carbonated water,Tap water,artificial sweeteners, sugar, preservatives, refined and bleached foods .
. Fried foods, urad dal, tomato, turnip, milk and milk products, constipating/ heavy food, soda, alcohol, tea, potato, beet root, dry raisins, sour food, cashew nuts.

. Take 3 gm ajwain [carom] seeds and eat, thereafter drink warm water.
. Chew sugarcane pieces and keep swallowing the juice.
. Drink 1 cup spinach leaf juice daily for 1 month.
. Drink 1 cup of radish leaves for 14 days.
. Take 3-4 spoons of olive oil in evening with warm water or milk.
. Grind onion and extract 20 gm juice and to it add 50 gm sugar candy powder [mishri] and drink.

PS. Take vitamin-C-rich foods in your daily diet: like amla, orange, grapefruit, kiwi, cantaloupe, XXXXXXX strawberries, broccoli, red pepper, or tomato juice. [Since vitamin C is needed to properly synthesize bile; and deficient intake causes bile to become cholesterol-rich and increasing the likelihood of stone formation].
. do check with baseline Investigations.
