Gallbladder Stones | Gallstones Treatment
Gallbladder stones, or gallstones, are stones made of calcium and/or bile salts that forms in the gallbladder
or bile ducts.
-
To reduce the gallstones pain trying to get out of the gallbladder, pour and spread equally onto a
handkerchief or cloth 3 tablespoons warm castor oil. Use this as a compress above the gallbladder
(above the navel line and below the ribs on the right side of the abdomen).
-
For acute gallbladder inflammation, fast on
strictly water for 2-3 days until the acute gallstones improves. After the fast,
consume beet, carrot, grapefruit, lemon and grape juice for a few days. Adopt an adequate
lacto-vegetarian diet, consisting of raw and cooked vegetables, vegetable juices, and moderate amounts
of fruit and seeds. Also take yogurt, cottage cheese and a tablespoon of olive oil 2x daily as it
stimulates bile and lipase production. Eat small meals at frequent intervals rather than three large
ones. The recommended foods to take would be on rising in the morning: a glass of warm water mixed with
lemon juice and honey or fresh fruit juice which can also be taken mid-morning. For breakfast: Fresh
fruit, 1-2 slices of whole meal toast and 1 cup skimmed powder milk. For lunch: Big salad with lemon or
vegetable oil dressing or vegetable soup and for dinner: lightly cooked vegetables, baked potato, brown
rice or whole heat bread and a glass of buttermilk.
-
Avoid all meats, eggs, citrus fruits, animal fats, processed and denatured fats, refined carbohydrates,
fried foods, sugar and its products, alcohol, soft drinks, ice-cream, coffee.
-
Drink 4 glasses of apple juice or eat 4-5 apples for the first 5 days to soften gallstones. Eat
normally, just add these quantities of apples to the diet. Don't take any dinner on the 6th day,
instead take 1 teaspoon of epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water at 6pm. Repeat at
8pm. This opens the gallbladder ducts. At 10pm, take ½ cup olive oil or sesame oil with ½ cup fresh
lemon juice. The oil lubricates the gallstones, so the next morning it will be easier to pass the green
gallstones in the stools.
-
Drink ½ cup apple cider vinegar 5x in a day. On the next three consecutive days, take a mixture of ½
cup each apple cider and olive oil 5x a day. The gallstones should pass out the day after this routine
is completed (5th day).
-
Take ½ teaspoon blackseed with 1 teaspoon honey and 1 glass warm water every morning before breakfast.
-
Avoid turmeric.
-
Other measures: Apply regular hot and cold towel over the abdomen to improve the circulation of the
liver and gallbladder and flow of bile, or apply a hot pack or towel to the abdominal area to relieve
pain from gallstones colic. Exercise regularly to prevent gallstones from indigestion due to a lazy
gallbladder.
