Natural remedies for Gallstones

If you suffer from gallstones or other gall bladder problems, you could consider a natural cure for gallstones before you opt for surgery. The gall bladder is a pear shaped organ that is small and situated on the right side of the abdomen, just under the liver. The gallbladder plays an important role in the digestive process.


This organ’s primary function is to secrete and collect bile. Bile is fluid that is produced by the liver and it aids in digesting the fats we eat. Sometimes, bile can turn in to small stones, called gallstones. These stones can be either tiny or large.

These stones can block the normal flow of bile from the liver to the smaller intestine. This occurs if the gallstones are lodged in any of the ducts that carry the bile to the small intestine. Blocked ducts can lead to infections and severe damage as well. At times, gallstones may cause no signs or symptoms. However, general gallstones signs and symptoms are:-

• Shoulder pain on the right side.
• Sudden and rapid paid in the center of the abdomen, just below the breastbone or sudden and rapid pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen. 
• Back pain between the shoulder blades
• Bloating, constipation and indigestion
  

• One effective natural cure for gallstones is to do a gallbladder flush immediately. This will help to flush your gallbladder clear of toxins and help it return to its natural state. Eat apples on the day you want to flush. Do not eat anything else on that day. When going to bed sip a mixture of two thirds a cup of olive oil and one third cup of lemon juice. Sip this mixture slowly. Lie down on your right side. Keep your right leg close to your body and try to sleep in this position as well. You are most likely to pass gallstones in your stool in the morning. Repeat this several times to pass out the stones.

• Another natural cure for gallstones is to drink plenty of water. Aim to drink at least 10-12 glasses of water a day. Water flushes out your body and keeps cholesterol flushed too. Do not attempt to drink all 12 glasses at one sitting itself. It is far better to keep drinking water throughout the day.

• Gallbladder diets are also effective, especially when dealing with small gallstones. The person should rest for a few days and only drink water. After this period, the diet should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with fresh fruit juices like grapes, beetroot, carrots and so on. After this, small servings of cottage cheese and yogurt can be included in the diet. It is essential to avoid fatty foods while on this diet. Eating small and regular meals throughout the day helps as well.

• Another natural cure for gallstones is to drink a mixture of 20ml of olive oil with the juice of half a lemon ( fresh juice). Drink this twice a day as this gradually helps to remove gallstones.

• Eating a small and finely chopped piece of garlic has been found to be beneficial as a natural cure for gallstones.

• Along with the diet and the foods to avoid when with gallstones, it is also essential to eat fiber rich foods. This is because fiber flushes the body as well. Aim to have at least five servings of vegetables and fruits a day.
