Homeopathic Gall Bladder Remedies

Gallstones are a common gall bladder issue. Gallstones are manufactured in the gall bladder and are comprised mostly of cholesterol that the liver manufactures but is unable to dissolve. For the most part, gallstones create symptoms when they leave the gall bladder and cause an obstruction which blocks the flow of bile. Using homeopathic remedies can reduce the painful symptoms of a gall bladder attack with no harmful side effects.

Chelidonium

• Chelidonium may be an appropriate remedy for gall bladder issues when the psychological symptoms indicate that the patient possesses an often suppressed aggressive, arrogant demeanor. The physical symptoms of such a patient tend to be right-sided, often resulting in feelings of heaviness and pain which is aggravated by fatty foods. The pain symptoms will tend to improve when pressure is applied to the affected area or when consuming hot foods or drinks, and tend to worsen when lying on the right side or consuming fatty foods.

Berberis

• When the pain is described as radiating and tearing, berberis may be prescribed. Berberis is an appropriate remedy when the patient exhibits a listless and lethargic attitude, and often complains about mental clarity issues. The physical symptoms will improve when at rest and worsen when pressure is applied to the affected area and when the patient moves around.

Chionanthus

• Chionanthus is recommended for many liver-related problems, including jaundice and the pain and discomfort from gallstones. Chionanthus may be the appropriate remedy when the patient possesses a gloomy personality with melancholy tendencies, while suffering from listlessness and nervous exhaustion. The physical symptoms will improve when the patient lies on the stomach and will tend to worsen when the patient moves around.
