Herbal Turmeric Ameliorates Symptoms of Biliary Dyskinesia, Researchers Say

By Kyle J. Norton

Biliary dyskinesia is a medical disorder associated with the gallbladder and sphincter of oddi affecting the biliary system to facilitate the normal flow of the bile.

Some researchers suggested that the condition is a symptom of bladder disease such as cholecystitis, gallstone or pancreatitis, rather than being a disease itself. 

Mose common symptom is pain on the right upper quadrant where the gallbladder located.

However, some patients may also experience the symptom of pain that does not stop with medication, including pain in the under the ribs and in the back right shoulder blade.

Other patients may also experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting, indigestion, bloating and belching.

If you have experience persistently aforementioned pain that can be relieved by medication, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.

The cause of biliary dyskinesia is unknown. However, researchers do know that people who are in older age, obesity group, and female gender are at a higher risk of the condition.

Believe it or not, women who are or who have been pregnant, taking birth control pills or in their menopausal years are at substantial risk of biliary dyskinesia developing compared to others.


Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of biliary dyskinesia, researchers investigated the turmeric effect on the right upper abdominal pain in biliary dyskinesia patients.

74 patients with the condition were selected into the trial, randomly assigned to either received Cholagogum (dried extracts from Schöllkraut and Curcuma) (39 patients) or placebo (37 patients) for 3 weeks.

According to the tested assays, dumpy and colicky pain was more rapid during the first treatment week in Cholagogum F group compared to placebo.

However, both groups exerted similar effects in reducing the feeling of being filled up, food intolerance, nausea, vomiting, meteorism, during the whole treatment period. 

There are no side-effects in the treatment group.

In other words, dried extracts from Schöllkraut and Curcuma inhibited the symptoms of biliary dyskinesia, without inducing any side effects.

Dr. Niederau C the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders said, "The study presents the first solid indication that extracts from Schöllkraut/Curcuma (Cholagogum F Nattermann) which have widely been used in daily practice for many decades have beneficial effects on pain due to biliary dyskinesia".


Taken altogether, turmeric used alone or combined with another remedy may be considered supplements for the treatment of the symptoms of biliary dyskinesia,, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
