Let’s Know about Jaundice

Jaundice is a common disease caused by the malfunctioning of the liver. It can happen to people from any age group due to some underlying problem related to the bile duct or liver. Though it is common, it needs proper treatment or the consequences may be life-threatening. Ayurveda offers an effective natural treatment for jaundice that treats the disease along with its underlying cause and overall health. It is a widely sought after stream of treatment as it assures the best results without any side effects.

What Is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a yellow discolouration of the skin, mucous membranes, and the white part of the eyes caused by increased bilirubin amounts in the blood. Bilirubin is a waste material left out by body cells after they digest food and water. When this waste material rises beyond the normal level in the blood, it interferes with all normal body functions and compromises the health and well-being of the patient.

Causes Of Jaundice

A viral infection, side effects of certain chemical medicines, Excess use of alcohol, blocked bile ducts due to any tumour or gall stones, and an autoimmune reaction can lead to inflammation in the liver leading to raised bilirubin levels.

Types of Jaundice

Hepatocellular Jaundice, Pre Hepatic Jaundice, and Obstructive Jaundice are the three main clinical types depending on the underlying pathology.

Complications in Jaundice

Itchiness caused by jaundice is so bad that the patients start scratching their skin raw. They are unable to sleep and under intense cases might go for suicide. The complications are not just because of jaundice but the underlying problem that causes jaundice and all other symptoms. It is suggested to get in touch with the doctor without delay and start the treatment.

Symptoms of Jaundice

Pale Skin & Eyes
Abdominal Pain
Fever
Vomiting

A yellow tinge in the eyes and skin, pale stools, dark urine, itchiness in the body, abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, and fever are the leading symptoms of Jaundice. Visible symptoms of jaundice include:

  • Pale stools
  • Dark urine
  • Itchiness
  • Constant fatigue

Diagnosis and Jaundice Treatment in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, the liver is the prime site of Pitta functioning. Because of poor eating habits or some other causative factors, the Vitiation of Pitta dosha leads to Jaundice.

Ayurvedic treatment for Jaundice can successfully correct the Pitta dosha functioning leading to normal bilirubin levels. In the initial stages of Jaundice, mild purgation stimulates the liver and increases the flow of bile.

An Ayurveda expert makes selective use of herbal medicines for Jaundice treatment that include Trivrit, Kutaki, Bhumyaamalaki, Punarnava, Aloe vera, Triphala, and many other herbs for this purpose.

Amla, Beetroot, Lemon, Bottle guard, Bitter guard, and Aloe vera are good for liver health and should be used daily as part of home supplements for jaundice patients. They are vital in the natural treatment of jaundice.

Preventions for Jaundice

Since the causes of jaundice are many, it is not possible to define any specific set of preventive measures for the disease. But on a large scale here are a few things that a person can do to keep jaundice at bay:

  • If you are used to taking alcohol on a regular basis, jaundice is a sign that your intake is exceeding the limit. You must limit your alcohol intake not only during the treatment but even after recovery.
  • Make sure to maintain a healthy weight as an overweight body is vulnerable to several health problems including jaundice. Also, people with a healthy weight can easily recover from jaundice as compared to those with weight issues.
  • High cholesterol levels are also directly related to jaundice. So, try to keep a close watch on your cholesterol levels and improve them if they are beyond permissible limits.

 

Diet and Lifestyle Changes for Jaundice

Alcohol, raw milk, uncooked food, poor hygiene, fast food, contaminated water, and self-medication can lead to severe liver complications and should be discouraged. Here are some diet recommendations that should be followed:

  • Jaundice patient needs to start adding fruit juice in his diet for a week or two.
  • Sugarcane, carrot, grapes, beetroot, pear, and lemon juice are a must for sugarcane.
  • The food for jaundice patients should be cooked in an iron kadhai. It helps in the speedy recovery of haemoglobin levels.
  • Drink lots and lots of water.
  • Jaundice patients must get plenty of sleep as it helps in full and speedy recovery.

The Benefits of Ayurveda for Jaundice treatment at Prakash Nethralaya

Investigates The Root Cause

The Ayurvedic approach to illness looks for the fundamental causes of the disease rather than symptoms. The main causative factor of the disease is removed from the patient's daily routine. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is decided from the available two directions as per the classics. First one is Shodhan (detoxification) to clean the body with the help of Panchakarma therapies and the another is Shaman (balancing the doshas) by using Ayurveda medicines, diet correction and lifestyle adjustments. Detoxification with Panchakarma improves the efficacy of Ayurveda medicines in chronic and advanced cases.

Medicines Are Safe To Take

Ayurveda medications are not manufactured in a synthetic or chemical form but in their natural state. Because of this, the herbs are gentle on the body, and there is no chance of side effect or adverse reactions, regardless of the length of time the patient takes them. At Prakash Nethralaya, we use the best quality Ayurveda medicines to ensure the safest and fastest recovery. There is in house processing and dispensing of the medicines for our patients. A few medicines are made available from the good manufacturing companies also.

Uses Holistic Strategy

Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has a distinct personality and body type and, as a result, their treatment. Ayurveda places more emphasis on treating the patient rather than treating the ailment. The physical composition of two different people with the same ailment may need a different therapeutic approach. An Ayurveda expert at Prakash Nethralaya uses this body type analysis and then reaches at a conclusion of diagnosis and the line of treatment. Accordingly our doctors prescribe the diet, lifestyle changes, yoga, Ayurveda medicines, and Panchakarma therapies.
