The ingredients in yours are a mixture of calming tonics and peristalsis aiders, liver tonics, diuretics, anti-emetics ( help prevent nausea) In my holistic herb book there is a recipe for gb inflammation : 1 part each - dandelion, fringetree bark, wahoo, mountain grape and 2 parts marshmallow root.Drink it as a tea three times a day. For gallstones : 2 parts marshmallow root, 1 part each of balmony, boldo, fringetree bark and goldenseal. Drunk as a tea 3 times daily. It suggests that if you have an icky stomach too, to take meadowsweet. Also, barberry comes up as a biggy for liver, gb, jaundice problems (due to congested liver probs - but avoid during pregnancy). As a bitter tonic with mild laxative effects, it is used with weak and debilitated people to strengthen and cleanse the system and can reduce en enlarged spleen, so I suppose it helps with the immune system someway. In gb disease barberry is supposed to combine well with Fringe Tree Bark and Black Root as a decoction (basically boil ingrediants up, strain and drink 3 x's daily). Where you would get the ingredients from is another matter!! Perhaps they are easier to get over in the US that here. The book has a US author. Hope this helps someone.
