🟢 Is your Gallbladder hindering your Hormone Balance?

If you’re struggling with symptoms such as bloating, PMS, fatigue, mood swings, or stubborn weight—your gallbladder might be contributing to this and quietly crying out for some help.

Your gallbladder isn’t just about digesting fats—it plays a vital role in detoxing old hormones (like eostrogen) from your body. Bile is produced in the liver and flows through the bile ducts into the gallbladder where it is stored until needed. This bile is very efficient at taking fats and waste products with it as it flows through the digestive system and helps to eliminate them.
If, however, bile flow is sluggish, those hormones can recirculate, causing all kinds of hormonal chaos and undesirable symptoms. 😵‍♀️

🌿 Homeopathic remedies that may help:
🌼 Chelidonium – for sluggish bile & right-sided discomfort
🥜 Nux Vomica – when stress, poor diet, and toxins are adding up
🦑 Sepia – for hormonal imbalances with mood changes and fatigue

🔴 The more we support the liver and gallbladder, the better our hormones behave!

Each of us are a once in an eternity event.

The chances of any of us existing are 1 in 400 trillion.
400 trillion is so huge that it’s basically unfathomable.

Here’s how big just a trillion is:
If you started spending a million dollars a day the year Jesus was born, you still wouldn’t have spent a trillion dollars by today.

Now multiply that by four.
(words by Kate Northrup)

Yep, 'we are all individuals', as the Monty Python cast would say! So doesn't it make sense to use a medicine that treats you like an individual?
Have you had the same cold as the next person? Well, kind of, but not quite... Our symptoms can seem to be generally the same, but there will be small differences in how each of our bodies cope with an illness. This is why homeopathy makes so much sense to me.

As a homeopath I am careful to ask lots of questions during a first consultation, so that I can build up a picture as clearly as I can of the person who is in front of me. Then I can attempt to use their individualised symptoms to match a remedy that might help them feel better. Doesn't that seem like a logical way to help someone? And the best part is, there are no side effects! 😊

ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS INDICATING LOW STOMACH ACID?

Do suffer from abdominal pain, feeling full quickly when eating, bloating, belching, heartburn, reflux, gas, constipation or diaorrhea? It could be that you have low, not high, stomach acid!
Stomach acid is actually hydrochloric acid which has a PH of 1-2, meaning it is very acidic! In fact, it would burn your skin if applied externally!
Why is it so strong?
Any PH below 4 prevents bacterial overgrowth so the stomach is the place in the body where there are the fewest bacteria present in our entire digestive tract. We need this acidic environment in order to break down and digest our food properly and symptoms can arise when the body is not producing enough.
What can cause this low stomach acid?
Stress is one cause of inhibited gastric secretions which can be detrimental to your digestive processes. Poor dietary choices and lack of nutrients and the use of NSAIDs can also play a part as can infections in the gastrointestinal tract.
When GPs are presented with heartburn, bloating or reflux, it is commonly linked to signs of over production of stomach acid and the patient will usually be prescribed PPIs and antacid medications to address this. However, low stomach acid can ironically be the root cause of heartburn and reflux disorder or indigestion.
How do you know if you have low stomach acid?
A homespun way to find out is to take a 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a little water, on an empty stomach. If you burp or belch soon afterwards (a reaction of the stomach acid reacting with the alkaline solution) then you most likely have normal stomach acid. If you have no reaction then you probably do have low stomach acid.
Looking at this homeopathically, and deciding what remedies might help, we gather together all the symptoms to find a single remedy that matches those symptoms as closely as possible.
The most obvious remedies to consider are:
Carbo Veg for bloating and gas, Arsenicum for burning in the throat and nausea, Natrum Phos which is a fantastic natural ant-acid (great taken as a cell salt), Robinia, the number 1 remedy for GERD and intense heartburn, and Pulsatilla if there is a reaction after fatty foods.
Remember: your remedy choice should also take at least 3 other symptoms into consideration before trying.
