Home Remedies For Gallbladder Disorders
The gallbladder is a tiny organ about 4 inches long and shaped like a pear. The organ works as helper organ for the liver. It helps to store bile and salts to aid in digestion. When there are abnormal concentrations of cholesterol, phospholipids, and bile acids this can cause a person to develop gallstones. When the stone is pushed out of gallbladder it can lodge inside the bile duct. This can cause severe pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. The symptoms are more likely to happen after a fatty meal. The pain can be rather intense and is described as one of the worst pains a person can experience. Stones can range from the size of a grain of sand to as big as golf ball. Sometimes an operation is required to remove the gallbladder entirely when it has become so diseased and filled with stones that there are no other options. There are many home remedies which can help to fight a gallbladder attack and help to clear the body of gallstones. Before doing any of these remedies consult with a Naturopathic doctor and have an upper GI ultrasound done to be sure that your stones are small enough to flush. This type of cleanse should be monitored carefully with the help of a doctor. Some of these cleanses are meant to simply dissolve stones while others are a more rapid approach meant to flush the body of the stones through the digestive tract. It is not advised to cleanse or use some of these herbs during pregnancy.
Home Remedies for Gallstones
Chew on peppermint capsules to help cleanse the gallbladder naturally.
Combine the following herbs to help dissolve stones.
Ginger Root
Horsetail
Catnip
Root Bark
Barberry
Dandelion
Fennel
Wild Yam
Parsley
During the acute state of an attack drink 1 glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice every 30 minutes until the stone dissolves. The acid helps to break up the stone that is stuck and stop the pain. It is a temporary option but can help to stop the pain. While experiencing pain place a warm compress on the upper abdomen and try to relax through it.
Take 1 tablespoon of apple cider in a glass of pure apple juice until the pain subsides. This also has the same effect as the lemon juice.
To help dissolve stones take 2 tablets of alfalfa each day with a glass of warm water. This does take more time, but can be quite effective. Continually do this as part of your routine for up to a year or longer.
Dr. Hulda Clarks Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse
Ingredients:
·4 tablespoons Epsom salts
·one-half cup of olive oil - the light olive oil is easier to drink
·1 large or 2 small fresh pink grapefruit (enough to squeeze 2/3 to ¾ cup of juice)
·Ornithine, 4 to 8 capsules, to help you sleep. People have done the cleanse without Ornithine (Kallie took Ornithine one night and noticed no effect and never used it again.)
Steps:
·Choose a weekend day to start the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day. Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they can prevent success. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as:
oa cooked cereal with fruit
ofruit juice
obread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk)
oBaked potato or other vegetables with salt only.
This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes will work to push out more stones
·2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink anything but water after 2 o'clock. If you break this rule you could may feel ill later. Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. in 3 cups of water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, ¾ cup each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).
·6:00 PM. Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts.
(Recommended: Drink the Epsom salt solution through a straw to get the drink to the back of your mouth and avoid most of the taste. A little maple syrup afterwards sweetens the aftertaste of the salts.)
·8:00 PM. Repeat.
·9:45 PM. Pour ½ cup olive oil into pint jar. Add ¾ cup squeezed grapefruit juice. Shake vigorously.
·10:00 PM. Drink this mixture taking 4 to 8 Ornithine capsules (not mandatory but helps one sleep). Lie down right away on your back with head high on your pillow. Keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. Go to sleep
(Recommended: A warm hot water bottle placed on your upper abdomen and slightly to the right helps your liver to relax.)
·Upon Awakening - After 6 AM. Take third dose of Epsom salts.
·2 Hours Later. Take fourth dose of Epsom salts.
·2 Hours Later. You may eat starting with juice and fruit. Later eat light.
