Called gallstones (from the Greek word lithos = stone)this disease is an evolutionary condition which consists of lodging, daily, about 500 ml of bile, rich in cholesterol, bilirubin (pigment crystalline) and bile salts (phosphates and calcium carbonates). The precipitation of cholesterol crystals and large stones are formed by precipitation bilirubinat calcium and calcium carbonate to form small stones, including sand.


Formation of stones in the bladder or bile ducts correlates with age, hereditary predisposition, endocrine disorders, pregnancy, menopausal status, diabetes, gout, rheumatism, kidney stones, obesity, sedentary, over nutrition and intestinal infections.  Gallstones represents 90% of all biliary diseases is one of the most common digestive diseases. Disease frequency increases with age parallel (after 70 years is 30-60%). It is more common in women 2-3 times more than men, due to disturbances arising in lipid metabolism.

Signs of gall bladder disease are manifested by violent pain, especially at night, giving biliary colic, accompanied by cramps, vomiting bilious green dark, cold sweats and fever. Urine becomes dark because of pigments and bile salts. In parallel, there remains a generalized pruritus, with itching all over.

Worsening occurs when passing from the bladder when calculating the channel or channel cystic common bile duct, causing obstruction of the biliary tract and mechanical jaundice. Worse is the passage of a calculation triggering intestinal obstruction in the intestine, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, portal vein thrombophlebitis or biliary tract cancer (about 10% of patients).

-Herbal Treatments for signs of gall bladder disease:
Plant species are used that property to reduce the rate of formation and deposition of stones and to help dissolve and eliminate them. In the acute phase will begin with plants antispasmodic, calming the pain and then, immediately after the pain stopped, it is recommended that treatment plants have choleretic properties, cholagogue and hepato-protective, if required use disinfectants.

-Biliary dyskinesia
The disease consists of functional disturbance of the mechanism of elimination of bile by reducing bladder capacity to ensure bile flow channel to the common bile duct duodenum. It should be stressed that the bile secreted by the liver is a very important role in food digestion by enzyme complex content and therefore need, necessarily, to be discharged in the duodenum, without downtime or functional anatomy.
Onset is due to complex digestive disorders, abdominal inflammatory processes of (appendix attached, pregnancy, menopause), or neurotic states triggered after some tense discussion, during or just after eating

Dyskinesia may be hypertonic or hypotonic.

-Hypertonic dyskinesia consists of enlargement, spontaneous slow contracting bladder capacity, with quick drain ball over capacity bile leakage through the shaft. The condition is common, frequently, women and youth, set on the central nervous system, following a mental stress or twitter. In addition, the disease can be caused by some disorder in the vicinity as appendicitis, peptic ulceration, gynecological diseases, pregnancy, menstrual cycle and hormonal diseases.

-Hypotonic dyskinesia consists of increase in volume due to the inability of the bladder to contract and release the ball to accumulate in excess inside the lazy bladder. The disease is manifested by hepatobiliary pains, nausea and bloating after meals, headaches, migraines, physical and intellectual fatigue, intolerance to certain foods that cause rejection even for them.

Symptoms of Gall bladder disease can be local by gallbladder perforation, followed by generalized peritonitis or secluded. Complications related to distance are cystic or common bile duct obstruction channel and other diseases (cirrhosis and ascites, infectious jaundice, angiocolita acute liver abscess, perforation into the peritoneum, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, sepsis, portal vein thrombosis and gallstones with cancer tendency. By blocking mechanical rhythmic bladder evacuation, microorganisms multiply and cause inflammation inside the ball and determine deposit bank areas, sand or gallstones. Crises intensifies after excessive consumption of animal fat like sauces, meat, eggs, tobacco, coffee, alcohol, or stress, tension and fatigue.


-Diet:
Painful phase of acute crisis recommended a strict diet with the consumption of fluid volumes of 1.5 liters of liquid with lemon juice, grapefruit, apples (one sip at 30 minutes). After these 2-3 days, mashed cooked vegetables are introduced, decoction of cereals (oats, bran and potatoes stewed fruit). Continue with a sparing regime consuming vegetable soups, meal, yogurt, skim milk, cheese, lean beef, vegetable juices (carrot, celery, beetroot, cucumber, parsley, spinach, radishes), potatoes in salad oil, biscuits, rusks and fruit juice (cherries, apples, pears, citrus) in the amount of over 2 liters per day, taken from rare bite. To housewives is recommended that instead of fried foods to prepare sauces and foods, tomato sauce broth, egg white sauce and cold milk, vegetable sauce suppressed, the flan caramel sauce used in dishes of dried fruit (prunes), sote with  carrot, semolina, rice milk and fruit sauce (apple, cherry, cherries, apricots).

The angiocolites are acute inflammation of the gall ducts inside and outside the liver, due to food poisoning with colibacili, enterococci, staphylococci, Salmonella and anaerobic germs. By non-toxic, inflammation is caused by gallstones, biliary dyskinesia, biliary tract cancer, pancreatic and intestinal diseases or local strikes.Symptoms of Gall bladder disease consist of: hepatomegaly (enlarged liver, soft and sensitive to touch), subicter moderate nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, fever oscillations up to 40 ° C, chills, prolonged and intense, tachycardia, splenomegaly, malaise, with drowsiness and possible internal bleeding.

Most common complications are chronic hepatitis, biliary cirrhosis, hepatic and subhepatic abscess, generalized peritonitis or sepsis and even secluded. Analysis is found to increase the proportion of bilirubin in urine, while installing oliguria, as signs of worsening. Duration of illness with violent pain can reach 1-3 weeks.



- Phytotherapeutic treatment: Is made with ash leaf infusions, decoction from chicory roots and bark of Rhamnus frangula. In the acute phase is absolutely fluid diet with vegetable soup strained, stewed fruit, fruit juice, orange squash, and water. Gradually continue with tea mixed with milk, mashed vegetables, ripe fruits and races, boiled potatoes, and toast.

-Lifestyle: It is absolutely mandatory bed rest during the crisis and applying an ice pack on the liver and gallbladder.

-Hydrotherapy: On the upper abdomen is applied a hot water bottle or hot wax.

Gall bladder, called cholecystitis, is an annex of the liver, with a capacity of only 30-50 ml, which fulfills a major physiological role, bridging the bile juice that is secreted in continuous flow, for certain specialized cells from liver. Bile is collected in a network of channels intrahepatic ducts, liver channel routed to the central channel then cystic and gall bladder, as a body collection and concentration of bile juice. Bladder, common bile duct bile is transmitted through the channel in the duodenum (first portion of small intestine) which exerts a particularly important role in the digestion of fats and vitamins. In a healthy body, iron is yellow alkaline irritant, with a consistent or slightly viscous fluid. In the interval between meals, because bile accumulates in the bladder, sphincter Oddi is closed and bladder muscle is relaxed.


A sick body, with a high degree of intoxication, bile becomes dark green, almost black and is acidic and corrosive action on tissues. In this state no longer flow to duodenum, channel locks and cause inflammation of the liver, gall bladder and bowel burn. Symptoms of gall bladder disease as aggravating and painful as the liver, include a wide range of diseases such as cholecystitis, angiocolita, gallstones and biliary dyskinesia.

- Cholecystitis consisting of inflammation, acute or chronic gall bladder wall, to various degrees (congestion, suppurations, gangrene) due to blocked bile drainage channels narrowed cystitis. Frequency of disease is substantially higher in women aged 20-50 years.

The acute cholecystitis, very painful, is caused by infection with various microbial pathogens (colibacili, streptococcus, staphylococcus, pneumococcus, salmonella, bacillus typhous and paratific).

These germs get into the blood or gall bladder inland channels that connect to the liver and duodenum. Chronic cholecystitis is a persistent inflammation of walls, occurred after the formation of calculus within the bladder (gallstones) or biliary (liver channel and channel common bile duct). May occur and other symptoms of gall bladder disease: infectious, chemical, allergic, neurohormonal and dystrophic. The disease also occurs after activation of digestive diseases (colitis, appendicitis, ulcers, gallbladder repression in pancreatic juice) or intoxication with gold salts, barbiturates, and antibiotics. Ball passing through the bladder becomes cloudy due to bacteria polynuclear content, epithelial cells, pus, exudate and possibly calculus.



Pain from the increase in bladder volume with congested mucosa and wall necrosis, sometimes with superficial bleeding lesions. Besides pain, right hypochondria area immediately below the ribs, feel painful back and reflections to the right shoulder. Follow nausea, bilious vomiting, epigastria burning, bitter taste in mouth in the morning and subicter jaundice, bloating, constipation, loss of appetite, increased irritability, physical and intellectual asthenia, fatigue, headache, fever with chills, insomnia or restless sleep with nightmares, reduced work capacity and concentration. Patient is pale, haggard and shows frequent sweating.
