Whether you have gallstones or other stressors on your Gall Bladder, or Gallbladder, certain herbs may help support the organ in different ways. Some of the herbs are also thought to improve liver function, and help eliminate waste products to improve the stamina and performance of your gallbladder. Gallbladder disease generally originates in the liver, when there is an occurrence of gallstones in the bile ducts, which eventually leads to the development of fibrous tissue. Cholesterol, bile salts and calcium comprise gallstones, but the underlying cause is excess cholesterol. The extent of the damage that they have on the liver and it performance largely depends on the degree of obstruction caused by the gallstones. Cancer of the liver only occurs after many years of progressive blockage of the liver bile ducts. This also applies to tumors in the liver that emanate from primary tumors in the lungs, breasts or GI tract.

Certain bitter herbs are considered to be liver herbs because they stimulate, cleanse, and protect the liver and gallbladder. German research has shown that bitter tonic herbs stimulate bile and hydrochloric acid production. They also stimulate the nervous system and boost immune system function, as well as combat fatigue and exhaustion. Four commonly used bitter herbs that have been used traditionally in the medical community to support liver health, gall bladder health and other ailments are Dandelion, Oregon Grape Root, Rhubarb Root and Bayberry.
