The gall bladder is an organ involved in digestion. It produces and concentrates bile - an essential component of gastric juice. It is located in the right hypochondrium next to the liver. It is connected with it by the bile ducts, and any pathology developing in the gall bladder immediately spreads to the liver.
Cleansing the liver and gall bladder is relevant for one simple reason: the accumulation of stones and the development of polyps in the bile ducts is invisible to humans. And when the first symptoms of inflammation appear, it is too late to treat the obstruction of the ducts with stones with stones. In this situation, only the operation is shown. And in most cases, chronic inflammation caused by stones forces the doctor to remove the entire gallbladder. In this regard, the cleansing of the gallbladder becomes an urgent issue for people of any age.
What causes clogging?
The process of accumulation of toxins in the liver and stagnation of bile lasts in the body for years. A variety of factors contribute to this. This is primarily environmental impact - the air of modern cities is saturated with particles of heavy metals, lead, molybdenum, cadmium, and so on.
Another reason is bad habits. Alcoholism and smoking destroy the liver faster than all other factors combined. Alcohol for the liver is pure poison.
A person’s mental state, stress, depression, lack of sleep - all this also affects the normal functioning of internal organs, in particular, the digestive tract. It is known that a consequence of chronic stress is a stomach ulcer, and there is a high likelihood of developing cirrhosis.
A sedentary lifestyle is another factor in the modern world that destroys the liver. By the nature of their activities, people spend more and more time in an armchair: few people walk in the office, in the car, even on the stairs. Stagnation of blood in the vessels also causes stagnation of bile in the liver and gall bladder.
Violation of the rules of nutrition and passion for junk food leads to the fact that fat, carcinogens, preservatives and food colors penetrate the body, destroying it from the inside. As a result of such a “diet,” the liver very quickly comes into a deplorable state. The bile ducts become clogged, and stones form in the gallbladder.
Symptoms of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis
The main symptom of such diseases is pain. It occurs in the right hypochondrium and increases when a person is hungry or, conversely, immediately after eating. It depends on the acidity level of the gastric juice.
The pain can be sharp or dull, and also pulling, occur from time to time or be felt constantly.
You need to understand: if such a symptom appears, then self-cleaning of the liver and gall bladder is already useless. Seek immediate medical attention. Treatment in a situation of accumulation of gallstones is only one thing - a surgical operation. This removes the gall bladder as a whole, together with the stones.
Hepatoprotective drugs
Cleansing the gallbladder is carried out in a variety of ways, one of them is taking hepatoprotective drugs. They accelerate the metabolism in the cells of the liver and gall bladder, thereby causing their purification. Also, these drugs improve the production of enzymes, neutralize lipids and remove toxic substances from the cell.
The products contain natural, natural ingredients. These are turmeric, soy, artichokes and so on.
Pills for cleaning the gallbladder of the hepatoprotective type are widely used in the treatment and prevention of hepatic and biliary pathologies. These are Essential Forte, Ovesol and Ursosan. They remove stagnation of bile, relieve spasm in the ducts and prevent the formation of stones. All drugs are prescribed by a doctor, he also prescribes their dosage regimen and dosage.
Cholagogue
Cholagogue preparations for cleansing the gallbladder are used during a set of measures aimed at restoring the normal functioning of this organ.
Means are of both plant and synthetic origin.
For example, "Allohol" contains extracts of nettle and garlic, the drug increases the secretion of bile, which allows you to clean the ducts from its stagnation. Karsil, which contains milk thistle, has a healing effect on the liver and gall bladder. But "Cholenzym" contains elements of animal origin, which helps it to perfectly remove bile.
All drugs have a number of contraindications. So, there is a likelihood of an allergic reaction to the components included in them. That is why such drugs are prescribed only by specialists.
Adsorbents to help
Cleansing the gallbladder would not be complete without adsorbents. This type of agent removes heavy toxins from the cells of the liver and gall bladder. Adsorbent treatment is widely used at home during outpatient therapy, since such drugs have minimal contraindications.
The most famous and simplest drug of this series is activated carbon. The only contraindication for use is peptic ulcer.
Another remedy is Holosas. It contains rose hip, which makes the medicine useful for inflammation of the liver and gall bladder.
Prevention of the appearance of stones can be carried out using magnesia, however, it is necessary to observe a strict diet and drinking regimen.
Traditional medicine methods
Cleansing the gallbladder at home can be carried out using traditional medicine, that is, infusions and decoctions of medicinal herbs.
You need to understand that this method is suitable only for those people who do not have cholecystitis and other pathological conditions of the liver and gall bladder. Otherwise, cleansing the gallbladder with folk remedies can not only be ineffective, but also can harm.
In order to avoid unpleasant consequences (for example, allergies or other side effects), it is necessary to consult a doctor before using this type of therapy.

What does Shchadilov recommend?
Tubing according to the Schadilov method is a rather controversial method of washing the liver and gall bladder. The fact is that during the procedure a person with an average weight (75-80 k) should drink up to 600 ml of olive oil in a relatively short period of time, about 30-40 minutes. In this regard, the cleansing of the gallbladder according to Shchadilov reviews is very different. Indeed, during this procedure, vomiting is so strong that a person may be damaged by any internal organ.
True, nausea is removed by grapefruit or lemon juice, but not everyone can handle this procedure to the end.
Those who believe that this method will help rinse the gall bladder and liver, during the procedure, press a heating pad on the right side and lie on it, while the knees are pulled to the stomach. In this position, it is necessary to drink the specified amount of olive oil in small sips in several stages, washed down with small portions of lemon or grapefruit juice.
Contraindications to tybazha according to Shchadilov are chronic pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis and abdominal pain of unknown origin.
Special diet
It is known that a number of products and substances poison, contaminate the liver, blood and gall bladder. But there are also products for cleansing the gallbladder. That is, it is possible to clear the gallbladder, adhering to a therapeutic diet.
First you need to remove from your diet those foods, drinks and ingredients that poison the body: alcohol, coffee, food coloring and preservatives, milk, fatty meat and products containing pesticides.
Cleansing the gallbladder begins with the inclusion of a large amount of water in the diet. A healthy person should drink at least 3 liters of clean and still water per day.
In the daily menu you need to add fresh vegetables and fruits, parsley, dill, lettuce, sorrel.
Very useful in terms of cleansing the gallbladder beets. It contains betaine, folic acid, pectin and iron. All these substances effectively remove toxic substances from the liver and gall bladder.
A very healthy fruit is an apple. It has the same set of substances as in beets, but it is much nicer to eat in raw form. Apples in ancient times were called gifts, considering them a panacea for all diseases.
Amazing cleansing of the gallbladder and liver occurs under the influence of coriander. These aromatic seeds must be in the human diet. They can be added, for example, to fresh salads. Coriander can also be brewed like tea.
We must not forget about exotic seasonings. For example, turmeric contains a useful phytonutrient that treats hepatitis and cirrhosis. It also removes bile well, preventing the formation of stones in the gall bladder.
As seasoning, you can also use garlic, cilantro, milk thistle, because they perfectly remove toxins, and most importantly - heavy metals from the liver and gall bladder.
Be sure to have olive, hemp and linseed oil in the diet. They are rich in fatty acids, which are necessary for the liver. These oils speed up metabolism in cells and lower blood cholesterol.
Liver disease prevention
By and large, the prevention of diseases of the gallbladder and liver includes any means of cleansing them, as well as a proper diet with a high content of green vegetables, herbs, fiber.
And also playing sports, walking, swimming, in other words, maintaining an active lifestyle. This reduces the likelihood of stagnation of blood in the internal organs, and therefore, bile in the liver.
It is very important to undergo regular medical examinations. After all, stones and polyps are formed in the gall bladder imperceptibly for a person, but they are usually discovered by chance during a routine examination with a doctor using ultrasound. In order to reduce the likelihood of unexpected stone formation, you need to do an ultrasound of the liver and gall bladder 2 times a year.
It is very important to give up drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. It is believed that 50 grams of cognac can cleanse the liver of bile. But we should not forget that this is not the only organ in humans, and alcohol negatively affects everyone else. Therefore, by cleansing the liver with cognac, you can destroy your own pancreas. So it’s better not to take alcohol as a medicine.
Finally
As can be seen from the foregoing, the purification of the gallbladder is possible even at home, but only if the pathology has not passed into a severe stage. Large stones do not lend themselves to conservative treatment. In order to clear the gallbladder of stones, in any case, an operation is needed. Therefore, before starting treatment, you must consult your doctor. Of course, you can use folk remedies for prevention, but before you start using them, you need to consult a specialist.
If it happened that the gall bladder had to be removed, a person can live without it. But until the end of his days he will be forced to carefully monitor his diet, deviation from which can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, it makes sense to take care of your gall bladder and take care of it from a young age.
