The gallbladder is a small organ attached to the underside of the liver. It is here that bile is stored until it is required.

If the liver is pushed and overwhelmed with the work it needs to carry out, perhaps because of excessive hormonal demands or toxicity, it can become 'overheated'. This, in

turn, will deleteriously affect other organs and systems. The liver also instigates some hormonal processes and inactivates others; it plays a major role in the premenstrual phase, menstruation, menopause and other endocrine times for women. Men too have their own needs for liver and

hormone activities.

The digestive system functions to digest and absorb nutrients from the food ingested into the body. Additionally, the digestive system transports foodstuff through the gastrointestinal tract. The primary organs of the digestive system include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anal canal. Accessory organs that aid the primary organs include the teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and appendix.
