How To Do The Gallbladder Cleanse For Emotional And Physical Healing

Have you ever tried a gallbladder cleanse due to gallbladder pain or gallbladder symptoms? Gain relief from some of these methods.

Cleanse the Gallbladder and Liver

What really causes gallbladder pain? What are the symptoms — and why do some people end up having gallbladder attacks? Can stored emotions surface and release during these episodes, along with the stones themselves?

According to The Roby Chart, the gallbladder connects to the solar plexus chakra and is linked to the emotion of rage.

Louise Hay, in You Can Heal Your Life, suggests that gallstones form from bitterness, hard thoughts, condemnation, and pride.

Her affirmation for healing this pattern is:

“There is a joyous release of the past. Life is sweet, and so am I.”

You Can Heal Your Life available on Amazon.

Medium John Edward also teaches that the solar plexus chakra corresponds with the element of fire, our ego identity, and the process of self-definition.

My Gallbladder Cleanse Experience

After two painful gallbladder attacks, I called an old friend — the “Gallbladder and Liver Queen.” She’s helped me before (she even co-wrote my post about the vagus nerve), and she’s tried just about every wellness product out there.

Now it was my turn.

I eat reasonably well — for a Brit living on the Kansas prairie — but after two pregnancies later in life, a history of IBS, and a few years of being on-and-off with healthy eating, my system was sending clear signals that it was time to pay attention.

When the Pain Hit

One evening after a homemade Thai dinner, I felt off. That meal wasn’t the problem — it was all the chocolate bars and Starbucks runs catching up with me.

In the middle of The Good Wife, the pain struck: stabbing under my right rib cage and up beneath my shoulder blade. Sharp enough to stop my breath and make me genuinely afraid.

People say gallbladder pain can be worse than a heart attack. Having felt it myself, I believe it.

What Helped Ease the Pain

On my friend’s advice, I applied a hot pack. Four hours later, I remembered a homeopathic Gallbladder NER remedy (based on five-element acupuncture theory) tucked away in my cupboard. I took it — and followed with Histaminum, a homeopathic antihistamine often used for inflammation.

Slowly, the pain eased and disappeared.

But two weeks later, it came back — same time, same place. I’d felt it building all day but kept pushing through, busy with housework and gardening. That time, I knew exactly what it was.

Signs You Might Need a Gallbladder Cleanse

From my own experience and my friend’s guidance, these symptoms may point toward gallbladder congestion:

• Irregular bowel movements (too frequent or too sluggish)
• Aches in joints and body — a sign of toxins
• Headaches after coffee (even decaf — my friend says it’s a liver signal)
• Heavy fatigue — feeling like your body just won’t move
• Sudden energy bursts — cleaning, baking, doing everything nonstop
• Sore or swollen lymph nodes under the right arm (lymph congestion near the gallbladder)

How I Managed The Attacks

The pain under my right shoulder blade became familiar — one of the classic gallbladder symptoms.

What helped me most:

• Yoga stretches, especially downward dog and side bends, to move things through
• A back massager with a hook to reach the sore spot under my shoulder blade
• Essential oils applied to the area for relief
• And — oddly enough — a few cans of Coke.

It sounds strange, but Coke contains phosphoric acid, which can sometimes help dissolve gallstones.

(That doesn’t mean it’s good for you regularly — but in that moment, it worked!)

When Emotions Begin to Move

As I continued my cleanse, old memories started surfacing — flashbacks, feelings, scenes I hadn’t thought of in decades. It felt like emotional detox: the body letting go of what had been stored deep within.

A Very Lucid Dream

One night, I dreamed I was back in my old junior school classroom in England, first grade.

My teacher, Mrs. Noyse, was strict and serious. I remembered how she made us drink lukewarm milk because it was free at school. The bottles sat outside all morning, and by the time we drank them, it was warm and flat, with cream on top. Blech.

In the dream, I was there again — but as an adult, doing yoga with friends. I opened my wallet to pay for the class and found a $22 bill inside. Then I dreamed I… well, pooped my pants. I woke up in shock (thankfully, it was just in the dream!).

It made me wonder — did that warm milk actually upset my stomach all those years ago? Maybe I carried shame or discomfort from that time. Maybe my body remembered, even if my mind didn’t.

Perhaps what my conscious brain forgot, my gallbladder still remembered — and was finally ready to let go.

Always Follow a Doctor’s Guidance

I want to make it clear that I also took medical advice and saw my doctor, who referred me to a surgeon.

After I told the surgeon what I was doing, she was happy for me to continue with my approach if I wanted to, as long as I didn’t ignore the signs that a gallbladder needs to be removed.

These signs can include a high fever, an indicator that the gallbladder is extremely inflamed. This can even lead to sepsis, which is life-threatening.

So, if your symptoms worsen, you can’t manage them, and they don’t disappear, you MUST get medical help.

*UPDATE TO THIS POST!*

I’ve done the full gallbladder and liver cleanse now, Epsom Salts, Olive oil, and didn’t have to have the surgery.  I did the cleanse 4 times.

I’m not going to link it here, but you can Google the information “The Hulda Clark Cleanse”.

Success!  I would only recommend doing this with a surgeon’s approval.  I felt safe that I had a good option B if required.
