Jaundice: Ayurvedic Approach to Restoring Liver Health
Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. It often indicates liver dysfunction caused by infections, blockages, or toxin accumulation.

In Ayurveda, jaundice is referred to as Kamala Roga, caused by imbalances in the Pitta Dosha, which governs digestion and metabolism. Excess Pitta leads to impaired liver function and toxin buildup, resulting in symptoms of jaundice. Ayurvedic treatments aim to detoxify the liver, reduce Pitta aggravation, and restore balance for sustainable recovery.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Jaundice

Herbs like Kutki, Kalmegh, Bhumi Amla, and Guduchi help detoxify the liver, reduce bilirubin levels, and promote liver regeneration. - Detoxification (Shodhana):
