Gall Bladder Disease

Yesterday I saw a very interesting case. Many patients come to Dr. Wang for the treatment of abdominal pain and bloating from gall bladder infection, inflammation, and stones. This particular patient was returning to see the doctor. Previously, he was diagnosised with gall bladder disease from a paracytic worm infection. Dr. Wang had prescribed the herbal formula wu mei wan without western medicine.

His digestions was alot better, while the pain was reduced, he still had pain. During this checkup, Dr. Wang ordered an ultrasound to see the condition of GB. Remarkably, the ultrasound revealed that the worms in his gall bladder were dead, killed probably by the wu mei wan. The pain was from stones which remained in his gall bladder. Therefore she prescribed the herbal formula si jin tang with jin qian cao, hai jin sha, ji nei jin, and yu jin to break up the stones, added yi mu cao to activate the blood and drain dampness.
