The Organ Gallbladder and Corresponding Exercises

The gallbladder and liver are complementary organs. Bile acids are stored in the liver and distributed to the intestines, where they help to break down foods, especially fatty foods. As mentioned earlier, bile acids are buffered by cholesterol in the gallbladder. If the cholesterol level becomes excessive, the bile acids will not be able to keep the cholesterol in solution; they will crystallize and form gallstones, which become extremely painful.

When the Gallbladder Energy Is Depleted

People whose gallbladder energy is depleted have a lack of bile, poor digestion, and a tendency to diarrhea. They sleep poorly and have dizziness, excess mucus in the eyes, pale complexions, acidic stomach, and discomfort on the right side of the solar plexus.

Psychologically, these people tend to be repressed and angry. Their anger often surfaces as rage. They tend to suffer nervous tension. Such people can be timid, easily frightened, and lacking in determination. They dream of accomplishing things, but often have neither the will nor the courage to make their dreams reality.

When the Gallbladder Energy is Excessive

In people whose gallbladder energy is excessive, there is lack of sleep, much thinking and planning, and discomfort and even pain on the right side of the solar plexus. These people may have a loss of appetite, a yellowish coloration in the whites of the eyes, and a pressure in the eyes that sometimes cause them to bulge with emotion. They often have a bitter taste in the mouth, shoulder pain, stiff muscles, migraine headaches, constipation, mucous stagnation, excessive intake of sweets, and distaste for sour foods.

Psychologically, these people tend to assume too much responsibility for work; they push too hard, pay too much attention to details, and are easily upset, impatient, and always in a hurry.

Muscles involved with the Gallbladder

Anterior Deltoid:

This muscle, along with the coracobrachialis, used in flexing the shoulder with the elbow bent, as in combing the hair. It is not usually found weak, but in many headaches cases they are related to toxicity from dietary indiscretions or eating fats, working on these reflexes will help.

Popliteus:

This muscle turns the foot and knee in the flexes the leg. Many knee pains can be associated with popliteus weakness. There may be hyperextension of the knee (knee pushed too far back), and bending the knee may become difficult or painful. Gallbladder conditions, jaundice, shingles, one sided headaches, constipation and feeling sleepy after eating fats may be related to this. Sometimes the weakness may come from the lower three neck bones being “fixed” or stuck together. Exercising the neck gently may help, and holding lightly on the point where the collar bone meets the breast bone, but chiropractic adjustments may be necessary if the popliteus does not respond to these treatments
