Gallstones are hard deposits in the gallbladder that can eventually block the exiting bile ducts. It is located behind the liver on the right side of your abdomen. Gallstones can range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to larger than a golf ball. Pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, liver disease, a sedentary lifestyle, a high fat diet, and certain forms of anemia are some of the risk factors of gallstones. Some home remedies include –
- Vegetable Juice - follow a strict diet based on fruit and vegetable juices. A mixed vegetable juice made of beet root, cucumber and carrots is a good remedy for gallstones.
- Citrus fruits – citrus fruits contain pectin, which is helpful in managing gallstones. Apples too are good and help in reducing gallstones.
- Honey and turmeric - Add some honey to one teaspoon of turmeric and consume daily.
- Lemon juice – Have lemon juice on an empty stomach. Even if you consume other citrus fruits, you have to have lemon juice. It helps in dissolving your gallstones.
- Rosemary Herb - Rosemary is another important herb which helps to treat gallstones. It improves bile production and prevents spasms in the bile duct. It also helps in the breakdown of fats.
