  14. Case 1 A male patient aged 69 had been experiencing recurrent attacks of biliary pain for several months. A blood test showed the presence of high levels of bilirubin, perhaps due to temporary obstruction caused by the passage of a stone, and X-rays revealed gallbladder inflammation and gallstones. The patient was offered surgery but wanted to try herbal treatment first. He was also advised to follow a low fat diet.

  15. Formula used: • Silybum marianum 1:1 30 ml • Cynara scolymus 1:2 30 ml • Taraxacum officnale radix 1:2 25 ml • Picrorrhiza kurroa 1:2 15 ml • Mentha piperita 1:2 20 ml Sig 5 ml with water TID After a few months of treatment all symptoms had abated. The patient continued treatment for another 6 months, during which time he was free of symptoms. Since that time (several years) he has not had any herbal treatment but still remains free of gallbladder symptoms.

  16. Case 2 A female patient aged 38 wished to take the contraceptive pill. She found that even a low-dose pill still caused symptoms of female hormone excess such as abdominal bloating, weight gain, nausea and depression. She had a past history of liver damage due to hydatid worm cysts during childhood.

  17. Treatment consisted of: • Silybum marianum 1:1 30 ml • Taraxacum officinale radix 1:2 45 ml • Schisandra chinensis 1:2 45 ml Sig 5 ml with water BID The patient found she could take the pill without any adverse effects as long as she also took the herbal treatment.
