The liver is the largest gland in the body! The gallbladder is attached to the liver. Consider the liver the ‘general of the army’ and the gallbladder the upright official. Together they constantly make decisions for the entire body – mind. Basically they break down what our body cannot use. Energetically they coordinate and regulate the movement of energy within us. Liver/gall bladder are responsible for creating an easygoing disposition and internal atmosphere.
