For milder bile complaints, you can treat the problem at home with a few practices.
Treating bile problems at home
Diet
If you have bile problems, it is very important to use good quality oils for your food, olive or linseed oil if possible. Avoid fatty heavy foods, as well as cucumbers, peppers and cabbage. Fortunately, the oils of many popular herbs help digestion and regulate bile production. So eat as much basil, rosemary, thyme, coriander, ginger, peppermint, chilli, oregano, peppercorns, turmeric, chilli, lemon thyme, aniseed or fennel as you can. After eating, nibble on cinnamon to restore the body’s pH and normalise blood sugar levels. Gallstones can be treated at home with diet to some extent.
Aromatherapy
Bile pain can also be relieved at home with aromatherapy. For biliary pain, massage the affected area with a mixture of 30ml of base oil, 4 drops of basil oil, 3 drops of rosemary oil, 2 drops of coriander oil, 1 drop of ginger oil and 1 drop of peppermint oil.
Herbal therapy
In addition to diets, various herbal teas can also help you: yarrow, yarrow, tarragon, which helps the bile function, but never sweeten them with anything! Half a teaspoon of each tea is enough for a cup of water. Increased stress can also be a cause of gallstones. In such cases, Jerusalem artichokes are an excellent bile buster and can be eaten raw or cooked.
Homeopathy
Gallbladder complaints are associated with pulling pains, sometimes with bilious spasms, wind spasms, intestinal pain, vomiting. The gallbladder should be examined and it is advisable to consult a specialist. Nux vomica is one of the most effective remedies that can also be used for heartburn.
