Homeopathy Medicine for Jaundice

182

The term “jaundice” refers to a yellowing of the skin and eyes, which is a symptom of a number of underlying illnesses rather than a disease in itself. Jaundice develops when there is an excess of the yellow pigment bilirubin in the body, which is normally eliminated by the liver along with old red blood cells.

The presence of jaundice could be a sign of a serious issue with your pancreas, liver, gallbladder, or red blood cells.

Symptoms

Jaundice is characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, and pale stools. In more severe cases, the whites of the eyes may turn brown or orange.

Jaundice may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as extreme fatigue and vomiting, if a underlying medical condition, such as viral hepatitis, is the cause.

When they have yellow skin, some people mistakenly believe they have jaundice, which is typically accompanied by yellow eyes.

Beta carotene, an antioxidant present in foods like carrots, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes, may be the cause of only having yellow skin if you have an excessive amount of it in your body.

Causes

Jaundice develops when your liver fails to properly metabolize bilirubin, the yellow pigment created when old red blood cells are broken down in your liver.

Sometimes the bilirubin simply can’t reach the digestive tract, where it would normally be removed through your stool, other times there may be too much bilirubin trying to enter the liver at once or too many red blood cells dying at once, or your liver may be damaged and unable to perform this process.

To help remove extra bilirubin, phototherapy is typically used to treat moderate jaundice in the hospital or at home.

Frequent bowel movements with greenish stools are a common side effect of this therapy. This is just the bilirubin exiting the body. Phototherapy may involve the use of a lighted pad that is applied to your baby’s skin to mimic natural sunlight. The light waves used in phototherapy are absorbed by your baby’s skin and blood. The light helps your baby’s body change the bilirubin into waste products to be eliminated.
