Gallstone home cures Gallstones are formed when the bile fails to saturate the excessive cholesterol in the system and it begins to crystallise and form stones that could be as small as crystals and as large as a golf ball. These stones can pose a problem when they get pushed out of the gallbladder into the tube that connects the liver and small intestine. Until the stone passes through there is extremely agonising pain that radiates up from the stomach to the chest and even the shoulders.
In other cases the stones can get stuck in the bile duct and cause chills, vomiting and even jaundice in addition to the pain. The causes for gallstones are pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, liver disease, high fat diet and even anaemia. Lack of physical exercise also leads to gallstones.
There are several simple home remedies to prevent and cure gallstones. Stick to a low calorie, low fat, high fibre diet that is rich in Vitamin C. Eat three small meals a day, and never skip breakfast. A bowl of high fibre cereals in the morning goes a long way in preventing and treating gallstones. Consume plenty of vegetables, fruits and fresh juice and avoid meat, eggs, processed and greasy foods, refined carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol as well as spices and pickles. Fresh beet and cucumber juice helps to clean the gallbladder effectively as well as pears. Drinking 30 ml of olive oil followed by 120 ml of grapefruit or lemon juice also helps to remove gallstones naturally. Studies have shown that consumption of 2 to 3 cups of coffee or half a glass of wine daily reduces the chances of gallstones by up to 40 %, but remember not to go overboard since these studies haven't been conclusive. Finally it is crucial to lead a healthy lifestyle, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly.
