Chinese sages claim that such infusions support our vital energy, increase efficiency. They also cleanse the body of unnecessary "junk", and at the same time saturate it with useful components. Recently, herbal teas have become very popular, in connection with this, their range has become much more diverse. And now they can be found not only in pharmacies, but also in stores. Meanwhile, do not think that they are so harmless as it seems to us at first glance! Therefore, when you are prescribed a decoction of herbs, they should not be confused with ordinary drinks.

  • 3. (audio) Tatyana Ivanovna's review of the treatment of cholelithiasis

There is such an organ in the human liver - the gallbladder. This oval sac (no larger than a chicken egg) accumulates one of the main secrets of liver cells - bile.

Bile is a colloid (non-crystallizing and water-insoluble compound), which contains in strict harmony bile acids, phospholipids, bilirubin, various salts, mucus, proteins and a number of metals.

Through the bile ducts from the bladder, bile enters the duodenum, performing a serious auxiliary role in digestion, in particular:

• Emulsifies fats (by forming micelles) for better absorption
• Neutralizes the negative effects of gastric juice
• Stimulates protein digestion
• Prevents proteins and bacteria from sticking together
• Stimulates the synthesis of intestinal hormones and polysaccharides
• Stimulates the general motility of the gastrointestinal tract

The main function of bile is to transfer digestion from the stomach to the intestines due to a change in acidity. , gallbladder, with a change in the composition of bile, various diseases can develop, some vitamins and microelements are no longer absorbed. With reduced secretion of bile, impaired intestinal motility, density of bile, stagnation of bile in the bladder and ducts, as well as some other dysfunctions of the body, a doctor may prescribe choleretic drugs.

However, many people are opponents of artificially synthesized drugs, and then natural remedies can come to the rescue, one of which is Ivan tea.

Cholagogue properties of Ivan tea

The composition of Koporye tea includes bioflavonoids (including kaempferol and quercetin), which, in conjunction with magnesium and organic acids, which are also part of fireweed, have a choleretic effect.

In addition, fireweed herbal tea has a mild enveloping, wound healing, anti-inflammatory and, undoubtedly, due to tannins, chlorophyll, a complex of vitamins, micro and macro elements, carotenoids and triterpenoids.

Herbs for gallbladder

However, Ivan tea is not the most powerful choleretic agent, so it should be used in a mixture With others medicinal plants for the best effect. So, choleretic and enveloping properties have:

We turned to traditional medicine, and on the Internet my mother read about the alcohol tincture of garlic. And in general, we decided to apply such a tincture.

There, garlic is infused with alcohol for about a month, and diluted with milk, i.e. in a small amount - about 100 ml - I drank on an empty stomach every morning. And then we made it so that I drank before each meal, i.e. about 3 times a day I drank this tincture in order to remove these Giardia and fight them.

As a result, somewhere I was treated with this tincture for three weeks, and I already noticed improvements in myself that I didn’t feel sick after eating. Those. this was very important for me, because I was already school age, even at school I could not eat normally - I was very much afraid that I would feel sick again, that there would be an attack.

My mother gave me this tincture for 3-4 months. Plus, along with this treatment, I drank Hilak forte after each meal, 30 drops, also about 150 ml of water, to improve food digestion.

And yes, I have already started noticing improvements. I drank Khilak more than tincture. I continued to drink it for about a year. And what can I say later, in conclusion - I was already 11-12 years old, the completion of this treatment. I underwent an ultrasound scan, passed tests for Giardia, and they were not found in me. Those. The treatment really helped me.

Now, when I remember all this, it's hard for me to believe that it could help, but indeed in my case there was such a treatment. Now I don't have such problems, ie. In principle, I eat almost any food that I want, but what can I say to everyone who is faced with such a disease - probably, now there are much more extensive methods of treatment, but at that time this alcohol tincture on garlic helped me a lot.

conclusions

Therefore, if someone really has encountered such a disease, I think that it is not worth delaying. You need at least an ultrasound. see a specialist to understand what hurts. Because I couldn't pinpoint the exact pain. I understood that I was hurting somewhere in my right side, but specifically it was very false to find some kind of point. Those. we were already thinking about the stomach, swallowing a light bulb, we thought something from the pancreas - that is, it's not clear where. But it turned out that this is all provoked by lamblia, in the end.

Therefore, yes, in my case it was an alcohol tincture on garlic and Hilak forte, as a strengthening of the digestive system, and after every meal I drank it. It helped me.

(audio) Anastasia's review on the removal of stones from the gallbladder and liver

Hello. My name is Anastasia, I am 25 years old. Now I will tell you how I drove stones from the liver and gallbladder. I must say right away that I had no indications for this, I did not do an ultrasound before this and so on. I just had a diagnosis of chronic biliary dyskinesia. The liver, in general, did not bother me, but after reading the works of some doctors and learning from there that we are all prone to the formation of stones in the liver - even healthy people - I decided to conduct a series of liver cleanses. How I did it, I'll tell you now.

Epsom salt liver cleanse

Liver cleansing is also called tubage. It can be done in many ways, I used two. Now I'll tell you. The first time I cleansed the liver with magnesium sulfate - this is such a powder, Epsom salt is called differently, it is sold in a pharmacy. At one time I took one bag, there are 20 or 50g, I don’t remember exactly.

In general, on the day when I planned the cleansing, I dined not with heavy food and after that I didn’t eat anything, I just drank water, and you can drink herbal tea more. At 6-7 pm, dilute magnesium sulfate in about half a glass of water and drink. After that, you need to lie on your left side, put a heating pad on your right side and lie like that for an hour.

You need to lie so that the head is higher than the liver, at about a 30-degree angle, you need to lie down and lie down. At this time, you can drink hot herbal tea, you can brew choleretic herbs for yourself in advance and at this hour you can drink a few glasses, the effect will be higher from this. At this time, it may begin to gurgle - this means that the bile ducts have expanded, and the active removal of bile is now taking place, there is no need to be afraid of this.

You need to lie down like this for an hour, and then, if possible, go out into the fresh air for an hour for a walk and go to bed. You need to go to bed early. You need to be within walking distance of the toilet, because at any time there may be an urge to go to the toilet. There may be several such urges, it all depends on you, on how you ate. You may want to go to the toilet several times, and it is with the contents of the intestine that the pebbles come out, they may not always be visible. Some have small ones, some have bigger ones. When several or once went to the toilet, you can do an enema. I usually do an enema a couple of times to speed things up and clean up more. And that's all, after that, in the morning it is advisable to eat a light meal, which will not strain the liver too much, because it worked hard, was cleansed.

To properly clean the liver, you need to carry out such procedures at least 5 with an interval of 1-2 weeks. Then it will definitely clean up well. I want to say that the first time, perhaps, the stones will not come out, it happens to many. And for the second, third or 4 times, a lot is enough.

So, I told you about magnesium sulfate. I also did the cleaning a little differently.

Cleansing with lemon juice and oil

It was necessary to take half a glass of lemon juice and half a glass of vegetable oil, and drink it all. And so do everything the same, just drink oil with lemon juice along with magnesium sulfate. This cleansing was hard for me, because the oil is still hard to drink, I felt quite strong heartburn. But on this cleansing with oil and lemon juice, I got the most stones. But I did this only once, and I did the cleaning with magnesium sulfate many more times.

This is how you can cleanse the liver, I did it very well. After a series of such procedures - after 5-6 - a very great lightness is felt, the complexion improves, the circles under the eyes practically disappear, the whites of the eyes become white. And what is interesting and very pleasant - ceases to want harmful products. The desire to eat sweets or eat pastries leaves - something harmful. Those. I want good healthy products, which is very inflated.

Stone cleaning for children

And with my son and mine, it turned out to be an interesting story. I have a three-year-old son, I didn’t plan to cleanse his liver, but I gave him oil on an empty stomach - it’s just useful - a spoonful of vegetable oil every day. I gave him radish seed oil. And after 2 weeks, I saw bright green pebbles in my stool.

I was in shock, to be honest, because the child is 3 years old, and I already have stones coming out of the liver. Although my child is healthy, immunity is normal, nutrition is normal, we practically do not use any of the drugs, i.e. there was nothing to get dirty with, but such a story turned out. And then several times over the course of two weeks, pebbles came out of him.

What I want to say with this. This should make us, adults, think about the fact that we are not as clean as we think, since even three-year-old children form stones in the liver and gallbladder, then in our adults they will form even more so. To avoid this, you just need to take care of the liver every day.

I recommend. Of course, I’m not a doctor, I don’t pretend to be something, but I recommend a spoonful of a teaspoon, a tablespoonful of any good, vegetable oil to drink, or drink some water with lemon juice. These products stimulate the release of bile, and along with the bile, various garbage will come out of the liver, all unnecessary. In general, everything about the stones.

(audio) Tatyana Ivanovna's review of the treatment of cholelithiasis

Hello, my name is Tatyana Ivanovna, I am 62 years old. About 5 years ago I had an attack. I was returning from my friend's birthday party, and on the bus I had a very bad stomach ache - not the stomach, but the top, where the stomach, pancreas and liver are located. Then I didn’t know what all this was called, but in general, it hurt a lot below the ribs.

Attempts to cure

I decided that I overate at the birthday party - everything was delicious - and ate a lot of herring. The attack passed, but a month later it recurred, and was even stronger and more painful. Then I went to the doctor and found out that I had cholelithiasis, and I was offered an operation. But at that time we were building a house, and I considered it impossible to leave and waste time and money on myself. Then I sinned that I would follow a diet, drink herbs, kidney and liver teas. And that way, maybe everything will work out. They began to tell me that the stones can be dissolved, that if you take the appropriate Evalar tablets, it all goes away. And I tried to heal.

This went on for about 3 years, the condition either improved or worsened, sometimes there were attacks, sometimes they weren’t. But the general weakness of the body increased. I attributed this to fatigue, because I worked a lot at a construction site. So we moved into a house that needed some more repairs - it was already late autumn, and began to live in a new house.

By spring, i.e. we lived for 4 months in the house, I had such an attack at night that I could neither lie down, walk, fall asleep, or do anything else. By morning, an ambulance was called, we arrived at the hospital, had an ultrasound, and it turned out that I already have a gangrenous gallbladder and I need an operation urgently.

Operation

All this pain that was - it was a stone coming out. The stones were already quite large, about 2 cm in diameter or less. Those. there was a whole handful of them, as the doctor later gave me. The operation itself was laparoscopic, ie. gentle enough, she passed quietly. I was under general anesthesia, only my throat hurt - that is. the artificial respiration apparatus that was used on me, it was inserted into the throat and then when it was taken out, the throat hurt.

Phosphogliv

After discharge, and I lay there for only 5 days, I was recommended to drink Phosphogliv. I drank it for a month, as they said, but the liver continued to hurt. Adhering to a diet, a fairly strict diet, and a fairly measured lifestyle, I came to my senses in a year. Those. I thought that everything would pass quickly after the operation, I got up, began to walk, came home, began to work, but after two years and 2.5, I realized that this year was restorative, that everything does not pass quickly, and the body needs time to to come to your senses. Those. I was weak, I didn't want to go anywhere. I often went to the river in the summer, it is not so far from us, and so this summer I have never been to the river. Those. I understand that it was a weakness and I did not want anything.

2 years have passed, my health, in general, has improved, but my liver began to hurt. I have no time to go to the doctor, as always, and I returned to the pills that were prescribed - Phosphogliv. And then they began to advertise on television, and I remembered that the doctor prescribed them to me after the operation. I read in the annotations - they need to be taken for 4 months. Those. The month that was recommended to me after the operation was clearly not enough for the body to get in order.

And now I have been taking pills for almost 4 months now. I feel better, my liver does not hurt, I even allow myself to eat pancakes, which I love very much, I cook them deliciously. And I drink more herbs, ie. I brew teas, make herbal preparations, I make them myself.

For this I use plantain, shepherd's purse, oregano and add mint. You can also add thyme. Thyme is generally like a good sedative and, in my opinion, it is just so restorative and improves immunity.

“Here, using herbal teas and phosphogliv, in principle, I began to feel much better. And one more conclusion from all this is that you need to go to the doctors, and herbs and folk methods - they are sparing and preventive, I would say, it is preventive, but not curative.

If you want to learn from the lips of Elena Malysheva how to take care of the gallbladder, then watch this 13-minute video.

For problems with the gallbladder, doctors often advise taking choleretic herbs. The number of plants that have such an effect is quite extensive and they affect the body in different ways. Before you start taking these drugs, you should understand the principles of their effect on the body:

1. They liquefy bile, as a result, its excretion is normalized. Such properties are possessed by celandine, a drop cap. Their action improves the condition and normalizes the functioning of the liver and gallbladder.
2. They increase the tone of the muscles of the bladder, which helps to “squeeze out” its contents into the intestines. Such functions are possessed by corn stigmas and tansy. The only caveat is that these herbs should not be taken by people who have stones, otherwise when bile is excreted, they can get stuck in the bile ducts. This problem will have to be solved only with the help of an operation.
3. Lead to increased pressure in the digestive system. As a result, more water enters the gallbladder, which thins the bile and makes it easier to excrete. Birch leaves are one of the most common means that contribute to this effect.
4. They have antispasmodic properties - they reduce the tone of the muscles of the ducts, thereby increasing their throughput. To achieve this effect, dandelion leaves or root are used.

Indications and contraindications

Cholagogue herbs are often prescribed by doctors for the treatment of the following diseases:

But in addition to the benefits, choleretic plants in some cases can be harmful to health. Therefore, you should not engage in amateur activities, but you need to consult a specialist before deciding to drink cholagogues. Consider the cases in which their reception is contraindicated:

Two types of choleretic herbs

It is worth noting that the prescribed choleretic herbs are of two types:

• those that stimulate the release of bile into the intestines, for example, wormwood, calendula, mountain ash;
• those that provoke the formation of bile, for example, medicinal dandelion, shepherd's purse, yarrow.

There is also a group of plants that can combine these two properties: corn stigmas, calamus, highlander and others.

Plants that promote the formation of bile in the liver are often used in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system. Increased bile flow prevents the spread of infection, relieves spasm and inflammation, and improves drainage of the bile ducts.

Herbal preparations

Medicinal choleretic herbs are sold in pharmacies in the form of herbal preparations, which include several types of plants. These fees are complex. Today there are 3 of them.

Cholagogue collection No. 1

The herbal choleretic collection No. 1 includes the leaves of the three-leaf watch and mint, coriander fruits and immortelle flowers. The leaves of the three-leafed watch have an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulate the digestive system. Mint contributes to the well-established work of the liver and gallbladder, which contributes to the removal of stones. As you know, mint contains menthol, which, in turn, reduces spasm of the muscles of the ducts.

Immortelle flowers help relieve spasms and inflammation, increase the tone of the gallbladder. They are also used to lower cholesterol levels. Coriander fruits anesthetize and have a choleretic effect.

In order for herbal medicines to have the proper effect, they must be properly brewed and taken. Collection number 1 is prepared as follows:

• put in a bowl 1 tbsp. l. herbs and pour 200 ml of hot water;
• boil over low heat for 15 minutes, without bringing to a boil;
• leave to infuse for another 45 minutes.

Then the infusion is filtered and taken 100 ml three times a day before meals. The duration of therapy depends on the disease and the doctor's prescription. Store the finished medicinal product in the refrigerator, but no more than two days.

Cholagogue collection No. 2

Herbal collection No. 2 includes: the same sandy immortelle, mint, yarrow and coriander fruits. Yarrow herb is very widely used in the treatment of diseases of the gallbladder, in particular, gallstone disease. It relieves pain well, reduces inflammation and promotes the excretion of bile.

This herbal collection is prepared and taken in the same way as the collection number 1.

Cholagogue collection No. 3

Herbal collection No. 3 includes: mint, chamomile, yarrow, tansy and calendula. Chamomile has a sedative effect and well removes bile from the bladder. Tansy is famous for its choleretic effect, and in addition, it has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect.

This choleretic collection is prepared as follows:

• one or two sachets (depending on the doctor's prescription) are poured with a glass of boiling water;
• insist 16 minutes.

Take an infusion in a volume of 280 to 600 ml per day.

These herbal preparations are available in special dosed sachets that are convenient to brew.

Choleretic tea has a beneficial effect on the liver and gallbladder. The drink contains medicinal herbs that enhance the outflow of bile, improve appetite. Cholagogue tea prevents the formation of stones, normalizes the functioning of the digestive organs, and eliminates pain.

• Polypov;
• Malignant tumors.

Important! The outflow of bile into the intestine is also difficult when the rate of penetration of nerve impulses to the gallbladder slows down.

To enhance the effect of choleretic tea, you must adhere to the following rules:

• It is recommended to follow a strict diet, which involves the exclusion from the diet of smoked meats, rich products, fatty foods, alcoholic beverages and hot sauces;
• A single dosage of the drug should be no more than 0.2 liters, the daily volume of choleretic tea - no more than 0.5 liters. The daily dose of the drink is recommended to be divided into several doses;
