Herbal Remedies for Gallbladder Problems
Common gallbladder problems include gallstones and gall bladder inflammation (cholecystitis).
For the former, use herbs to help relax the gallbladder, plus a combination of bile-stimulant or moving herbs. For gallbladder inflammation or spasms due to inflammation, use cooling gall bladder herbs. The diet should be low in fats and high in fiber and organic fruit acids. Avoid spicy foods or gallbladder irritants, such as alcohol, sugar, coffee, and tea.
