Kiara. Did your mother take some herb ? When did the vomiting start ?
What all did she eat ? Vomiting can not start all of a sudden. She must have ingested something.

Asra
Is your mother allergic to Corn ?
How much did you give her ?
Is she taking any other medications for Diabetes ? If yes, then it was likely to have suffered from vomiting and nausea. It can very well interact with other medications that your mother might be taking. Corn silk is known to decrease the level of potassium in the blood.So, do not take corn silk if you already have low potassium levels, low or high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Is it helpful for gallstones
 
Herbpathy
14 Feb 2020
Dear Humera
Please try the following herbs for Gallstones:
* Add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in glass of water. Take it 2 times a day for 10 days. Take 1 teaspoon for next 20 days.
* Buy Stone Breaker tincture. Take 10 drops 2 times a day.
* Buy Crataeva Nurvala ( Varuna ) capsules. Take 2 every day. Take these herbs for a month.
Include Dandelion, Grape, Horse Gram in your diet. It is advisable to have a physical diagnosis done to check the size of stones. If there are big sized stones, you might have to move for a surgery. However, small ones can prove to be helpful.
