Jaundice: Ayurvedic Healing for Liver Wellness

Jaundice, known as Kamala in Ayurveda, is a condition that occurs due to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, leading to yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It indicates impaired liver function and can affect overall health if left untreated. At Jeevan Ayurveda, we provide comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment plans tailored to each patient's condition, addressing the root cause for sustainable wellness.

Causes of Jaundice

• Liver Disorders: Hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver infections.
• Blockages in Bile Ducts: Gallstones or tumors preventing bile flow.
• Hemolysis: Excessive breakdown of red blood cells.
• Poor Lifestyle and Diet: Overconsumption of alcohol, fatty foods, or processed meals.
• Dosha Imbalance: From an Ayurvedic viewpoint, jaundice is linked to imbalances in Pitta dosha, resulting in disturbed liver and bile function.

Symptoms of Jaundice

• Yellowing of the skin and eyes.
• Dark-colored urine and pale stools.
• Fatigue and weakness.
• Loss of appetite.
• Abdominal pain or discomfort, particularly in the upper right side.
• Nausea and vomiting.

Stages of Jaundice

1. Pre-Hepatic Jaundice: Caused by excessive destruction of red blood cells.
2. Hepatic Jaundice: Arises from liver dysfunction due to infection or damage.
3. Post-Hepatic Jaundice: Caused by blockages in bile ducts, impairing bile flow.
