Cow gallstones, also known as bovine gallstones, are interesting formations that occur naturally in the gallbladders of cows. These stones are made up of hardened deposits of bile and cholesterol, and they vary in size and shape. While they may seem insignificant to some, cow gallstones have gained attention for their use in various industries. One industry where cow gallstones have been traditionally used is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, these stones are believed to possess medicinal properties and are used in the preparation of herbal remedies. They are often ground into a fine powder or soaked in alcohol to extract their beneficial components.
