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.
