Jaundice is a liver disorder caused by obstruction in the bile duct or reduced production of liver cells.

Symptoms of Jaundice

  • Yellow coloration of the eyes, skin, tongue and urine.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Dull pain in the liver region.
  • Nausea, severe constipation, extreme weakness.
  • Fever, headache and undue fatigue.


Causes of Jaundice

  • Malfunctioning of the liver releases bile salts into the intestine, which get mixed with blood and give yellow color to the skin.
  • Gallstones, inflammation of the liver (hepatitis) are the main cause.
  • Dirty surroundings and overcrowding may lead to an epidemic. Anemia, tuberculosis, malaria and typhoid are other causes.

Natural treatment for Jaundice

  • The patient should rest till acute symptoms subside.
  • Adopt fruit juice fast for a week.
  • Administer hot water enema daily.
  • And follow the below mentioned diet after the severity of the disease is over –
  • On rising - A glass of warm water with 2 teaspoon of lime juice.
  • Breakfast – One juicy fruit like apple, papaya, mango, grapes or berries and 1 slice of whole wheat bread.
  • Mid morning – orange juice
  • Lunch – 2 slices of whole wheat bread, a cup of strained vegetable soup, a steamed leafy vegetable and a glass of buttermilk.
  • Mid afternoon – coconut water or orange juice.
  • Dinner – whole wheat bread, baked potato, steamed vegetable and a glass of hot milk with honey.
  • Butter, oils and cream should be avoided for at least 2 weeks.
  • Fresh juice from radish leaves is a valuable remedy. Leaves should be pounded and strained. One pound of this juice provides immediate relief to an adult.
  • Water Treatment – Drink lots of water with lemon juice to protect damaged liver cells. Hot and cold compresses should be applied alternately to the abdomen. Cold friction twice a day is beneficial. A hot immersion bath for 10 minutes at 104 degree Fahrenheit daily eliminates bile pigment through skin and kidneys.
  • Yoga also is equally beneficial.
