About gall stones

Hi
I dugout my Essential Oil Desk Reference this afternoon to look up the gall
bladder and liver.
I found:
Risk Factors
Being Overweight decreases gallbladder emptying and results in a dramatically
higher risk for gallstones.
Being over 60 or being female and middle aged. (20-60)
Using excess estrogen from hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills
(gee ladies, aren’t we the lucky ones)
Using cholesterol-lowering drugs. While these drugs can lower cholesterol in
the bloodstream, they can raise cholesterol in the gallbladder. ( I did not
know this either, very interesting)
Being diabetic. Diabetics suffer higher levels of triglycerides, which can
increase the likelihood of getting gallstones.

Rapid weight loss. This forces the liver to pump out extra cholesterol, which
can become concentrated in the bile.
If anyone is using or familiar with essential oils and their use, they recommend
using Geranium & Lavender together over the gallbladder area along with a hot
compress and also you can put the Geranium on the accupressure points on the
bottom of your feet.
Also they discuss how the bile is also extremely important for the absorption of
vitamins A, D and E.
Okay, so being that we know our bodies makes it’s own cholesterol from the fats
it consumes, then we must also be aware that the kind of cholesterol our bodies
is making could be more of what is causing us the waxy cholesterol stones. They
are this way from the type of fat…..those fats that harden at room
temperature….too many of them….
Peace
