However, if you have a large one, it can block small ducts and lead to excruciating pain. Instead of the traditional surgical procedure, you can follow some other ways to remove the stone through natural cleansing procedures.
Pre-Cleansing Treatments
Before the actual gallstones cleanse, you have to consider preparing your whole body for the procedure. You need to prepare your colon a week before by increasing your fresh fruit juice intake. Take carrot or apple juice and unsweetened grapes and orange extracts to commence the irrigation. Increase your fluid intake to remove the toxins in your body.
If you suspect a parasitic infection, be sure to treat it first before doing your gallstone flush. The bile salts present in the stone can be very conducive for bacteria and can prevent its successful elimination.
Preparation
Ideally your gallstone cleanse should be done on the weekend, when you do not have any other appointments during the day. Stop taking your usual medicines since they can hinder the process. Take a fat-free breakfast like fruits and a light fat-free lunch.
Do not eat anything solid in the afternoon and avoid fluids from the early evening. This is to give time for your stomach to evacuate its contents and reduce your chances of getting nauseous.
Procedure
What you'll need
- Olive Oil - About 1 to 2 cups
- Lemon juice - About 1 to 2 cups
In the evening of your cleansing day, you’ll start drinking a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice every 15 minutes for a total of 2 hours. During this time, you should lie down and relax. After the drinking sessions, try to go to sleep by lying on your right side.
After about five to fifteen hours, you will feel the urge to move your bowel. Expect a diarrheic stool. You can sieve the stool to check if the gallbladder cleanse is effective. Look for a green-colored stones in your stool, or it can also be tan with white crystals of cholesterol.
This is just a sample of what of the gallstone flush involves. The procedure cannot be successful for all people. However, the gallstone cleanse is worth trying before undergoing a painful and expensive surgical gallstone removal procedure.
