Holy Basil / Tulsi: Herbal Alternative to Hormone Therapy and Gallstone Treatment

Holy Basil / Ocimum sanctum / Tulsi Holy Basil is an adaptogenic herb. In other words, it works by reducing levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. When the body and mind are under stress, the adrenal glands produce higher-than-normal levels of cortisol. In order to produce higher-than normal levels of cortisol, the adrenal glands pull the precursors to other reproductive hormones out of circulation. Reproductive hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone then become deficient in the body because the precursors the body uses to manufacture them aren’t available. This can cause a downward spiral of generally poor health and debility. Holy Basil helps reverse this process by lowering cortisol levels and by modulating blood sugar levels in the body. In addition to Holy Basi...

Inositol Deficiency: Natural Treatment for Hair Loss, Gallbladder Dysfunction, and Fatty Liver Disease

 What is inositol?  Inositol (previously known as vitamin B8) is a water-soluble, vitamin-like substance that, like choline, is an essential part of all of the cell membranes in the body. It is present in a variety of different foods and is also produced by intestinal bacteria from glucose. It is also produced in the liver and kidneys.

These are referred to inositol stereoisomers and are more or less the same except for the exact positioning of the hydroxyl groups in each isomer. The 6 natural forms of inositol are...

Vitamin K2+D3: An At-Home, Orthomolecular Treatment for Gallstones and Porcelain Gallbladder

Fresh milk from grass-fed cows contains vitamin K2. Most store bought milks, unless otherwise specified (some health stores might carry grass-fed milks), do not contain tangible amounts of vitamin K2. Milk and meat from other grass-fed animals (goats, sheep, etc.) also contain vitamin K2. How Vitamins Can Get Rid of Gallbladder Calcifications Unfortunately, many people with gallstones or gallbladder problems often find themselves eating little to no fat of any kind since eating fatty meals frequently will lead to digestive discomfort. However, though not eating much fat may avoid exacerbating some gallbladder-related symptoms, the reality is that the gallbladder, and the rest of your body, needs fat. Specifically, the body thrives on healthy fats (in terms of healthy, fatty foods, think...

Cleansing the gallbladder will help your body remove pathogens that are hijacking your immune system and causing health problems that may resemble “autoimmune” symptoms.

Is Morning Sickness Caused by Gallstones? The Gallbladder’s Role During Pregnancy

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped sac just below the liver on the right side of the body, as pictured in this illustration. The Connection Between Gallstones, Gallbladder Problems, and Morning Sickness The gallbladder plays a pivotal role in the development and severity of morning sickness during pregnancy. Many of the factors that worsen an existing case of morning sickness are directly correlated to a suffering gallbladder. One good example of this is how spicy, greasy foods often aggravate morning sickness. Even traditional remedies such as apple cider vinegar in warm water point to morning sickness being a gallbladder-related problem. In this article, I’ll connect the dots between gallbladder problems and morning sickness.  Why are gallstones more likely to develop during...

How to Improve Libido by Restoring Gallbladder Health

The relationship between liver and gallbladder health and libido / reproductive system health may surprise you. The Surprising Connection Between Hypothyroidism, High Estrogen Levels, and Major Digestive Issues According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), erectile dysfunction and libido issues can be rooted in liver and gallbladder issues.

In this section we discuss how the liver and gallbladder as well as the thyroid gla...

How Full Spectrum Light and Sun Exposure Affects Gallbladder Health--and Why You Should Care If You Have MS, Psoriasis, or Other Autoimmune Diseases My first encounter with the use of sunlight and seawater to heal the liver and gallbladder occurred when I was studying the scientific research into psoriasis cures. I found that there were a number of Sunlight and Seawater Retreat Centers for Psoriasis at the Dead Sea in Jordan. I was initially mystified by this finding and contacted my friend in Guatemala who suffers from psoriasis to ask him about it.  “Have you ever tried sunlight and seawater as a treatment for psoriasis?” I asked him.  He said, “Well, not exactly as a treatment, but…I guess my psoriasis does clear up immediately whenever I go to the beach.”  I asked fo...
