23 June, 2009 No Comment

Jaundice is a pathological condition where the byproduct called bilirubin derived from the breakdown of expired red blood cells fails to get expelled from the body via excretory system.

Liver plays a vital role in to excrete this yellow coloured pigment into the bile which finally is expelled out by way of urine or faeces. Thus jaundice may be brought about by several factors such as malaria, genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia, spherocytosis, typhoid, tuberculosis, hepatitis, alcoholism, pancreatic cancer, gall stones etc.

Jaundice can be diagnosed on the basis of physical symptoms like extreme weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, yellow coloration of the skin, eyes, tongue and urine, severe constipation and liver pain.

In anatomical terms, when there is any kind of obstruction in the bile duct, the yellowish waste product tends to blend with the blood rather than being excreted out in the form of urine or faeces.

Jaundice can be effectively treated using naturally safe home remedies, some of which are briefly given below:

Intake of glassful sugarcane juice with 1/2 a lime extract, two times a day can give quick recovery from jaundice. Fresh lemonade can be had frequently as it has been found to cure liver dysfunction.

Patients suffering from acidity can use Barley extract instead. This natural blood purifier can be prepared by boiling one cup barley in 3 litres water.

Bark of Berberis vultaris can be ground into fine powder or boiled in water. People suffering from jaundice can consume ¼ tsp of this powder or take the solution in the dosage of 4 milliliters as often as possible for speedy recovery.

Even radish leaves are ideal for treating symptoms of the yellow fever. These leaves can be crushed to obtain 500 milliliters of its extract. An adult patient should intake this solution on a daily basis till jaundice gets cured.
