Inflammatory processes in the gallbladder lead to the development of a disease known as chronic cholecystitis. This condition, apart from its chronic course, is prone to frequent exacerbations. Infectious diseases and the presence of gallstones are the main causes of this condition. Most often, folk remedies for treating chronic cholecystitis are needed by women. Additionally, several other factors play a significant role in the onset and development of the disease. In particular, besides the fact that chronic cholecystitis is more common in women, factors such as the patient’s age, the use of certain medications, improper, unbalanced diet, etc., also play a significant role. Therefore, folk remedies used for treating existing chronic cholecystitis should be used alongside other necessary measures such as a proper diet and mandatory medical examination.
The main symptoms of chronic cholecystitis include a dull, aching pain in the abdominal area and right hypochondrium, possible nausea, vomiting, a metallic or bitter taste in the mouth, chronic diarrhea, or, conversely, constipation. Folk remedies for treating chronic cholecystitis are quite numerous. This is largely due to the fact that this disease is a rather common gallbladder ailment. In cholecystitis, the walls of this organ become inflamed, and gallstones form in the lumen. According to statistics, up to 20% of people worldwide suffer from chronic cholecystitis, and many are unaware of the folk remedies that can be used for treating chronic cholecystitis, which might possibly cure the disease.
So, infections and bile stasis are the main causes of the disease’s development. These factors often exacerbate each other’s effects, creating a complex situation where bile stasis facilitates the easy penetration of infection into the gallbladder, and the developing infection causes inflammation of the organ’s walls and obstructs bile flow, aggravating its stasis. Factors leading to the development of the disease include excess weight (obesity), female gender, pregnancy, diabetes, medication intake (oral contraceptives, ceftriaxone, octreotide, clofibrate), infrequent eating intervals, and less commonly, parasites (giardia, worms), and old age.
