Collection: Jaundice

What is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a condition where the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes turn yellow due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced when red blood cells break down. Normally, the liver processes bilirubin and removes it from the body. However, when the liver is damaged, inflamed, or not functioning properly, bilirubin can build up, leading to jaundice.

Causes of Jaundice

1. Liver Disease – Conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease can impair the liver’s ability to process bilirubin.
2. Blocked Bile Ducts – Gallstones or tumors can prevent bile (which carries bilirubin) from flowing properly.
3. Hemolysis (Rapid Red Blood Cell Breakdown) – Certain conditions cause red blood cells to break down too quickly, overwhelming the liver.
4. Infections & Toxins – Liver infections, alcohol overuse, or toxic substances can cause inflammation and reduced liver function.
5. Newborn Jaundice – Common in newborns due to an immature liver, but usually temporary.

Symptoms of Jaundice

1. Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes
2. Dark urine and pale-colored stools
3. Fatigue and weakness
4. Abdominal pain (especially on the right side)
5. Nausea and loss of appetite
6. Itchy skin
7. Swelling in the legs or abdomen (in severe cases)

Natural Ways to Support Liver Health & Reduce Jaundice

1. Use Herbal Liver Support – LiverCARE Tincture, Liver Support Capsules, and Curcumin help reduce liver stress and improve detoxification.
2. Increase Hydration – Drinking plenty of water helps flush out excess bilirubin and toxins from the liver.
3. Follow a Liver-Friendly Diet – Eat leafy greens, beets, carrots, garlic, turmeric, and fiber-rich foods to support bile flow and digestion.
4. Avoid Alcohol & Processed Foods – Alcohol and processed foods put extra strain on the liver, making jaundice worse.
5. Drink Herbal Teas – Dandelion, milk thistle, and green tea help support liver regeneration and detoxification.
6. Get Sunlight Exposure – Sunlight helps break down bilirubin in newborn jaundice and can aid in detoxification.
7. Maintain a Healthy Weight – Obesity and fatty liver disease can worsen jaundice, so staying active helps improve liver function.

Important Note

While natural remedies can help support liver function and reduce bilirubin levels, severe or persistent jaundice may require medical attention. If symptoms worsen, include severe abdominal pain, confusion, or unexplained weight loss, consult a healthcare provider immediately
