Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in Europe. It is valued for its purported effects as a general tonic, mild astringent, and for its ability to support the digestive system. In folk medicine, it has sometimes been recommended for conditions related to the liver and gall bladder, including "sluggish" gall bladder function. However, these uses are primarily based on anecdotal tradition rather than direct clinical evidence.

There are no published clinical trials or rigorous scientific studies that specifically evaluate the effectiveness of Herb Robert for supporting the gall bladder, whether sluggish or removed. The plant is sometimes included in traditional herbal blends aimed at overall digestive support, which may indirectly involve gall bladder health. Its inclusion is generally justified by historical practice and the belief that its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties may help with digestive discomfort.

However, authoritative herbal references and pharmacopeias do not list Herb Robert as a primary or proven remedy for gall bladder disorders. Its use for this purpose remains largely within the realm of traditional herbalism, and scientific validation is lacking. As such, Herb Robert should not be relied upon as a primary treatment for gall bladder issues, especially in the absence of professional medical advice.
