Drinking apple juice and eating fresh apples for about a week before flushing can be helpful. A hot castor oil pack the night of the flush has also proved valuble. To do the castor oil pack soak an absorbant cotton rag in the oil, place this over the gallbladder/live area and cover with plastic wrap. Top with hot water bottle or heating pad and leave in place at least 4 hours. Be careful not to get so hot you burn your skin.
