Gallbladder Detox System
Bile Storage to Entrap Toxins

Another important part of our body is the gallbladder. We have to recognize that the gallbladder detox system is closely related to our liver. It is a small pear-shaped sac that is on the lower side of the liver.

Its main function is storing and concentrating bile. So what does bile do? It is made by the liver and used in the small intestine. It helps to emulsify fats, lubricate the intestines, and made our stool is brownish color.

Water and minerals are absorbed from the bile and so it becomes darker in color. The preferable color of bile is walnut brown and therefore, stool should not be too light in color which indicates the lack of bile in our body.

Toxins are eliminated by the liver and passed through the bile. Then it is concentrated within the gallbladder where the toxins entrapped in the bile are later excreted from the body through the stool. Therefore, the gallbladder’s importance is very much correlated with the function of the liver in its cleansing of toxins.

However, the gallbladder detox system can be congested if we do not maintain proper diet or keep it healthy. Firstly we have to know that the gallbladder has always been an easy target for the development of gallstones.

These are formed when bile hardens into stone-like material. There are two types of gallstones: the cholesterol stones and pigment stones. The precedent is as per its name suggests caused by hardened cholesterol (yellowish-green) and the latter is due to hardening of bilirubin (dark brown color).

Cholesterol stones have been correlated with high-calorie, high-protein, and high-fat diet. Pigment stones are, however, are due mainly to liver disease problems like cirrhosis or biliary tract infections where bilirubin is produced excessively. The most significant side effects are:

1. steady pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours
2. pain in the back between the shoulder blades
3. pain under the right shoulder
4. nausea or vomiting
5. abdominal bloating
6. recurring intolerance of fatty foods
7. colic
8. belching
9. gas
10. indigestion

Therefore, it would be important to perform consistent gallbladder flushing to ensure that the gallbladder is not congested and free from stones. It helps to facilitate proper supporting function toward our liver detoxification system as well.
