However, it can also affect adults. It occurs because of an increase in the level of yellowish bile pigments, known as bilirubin in the blood. It is usually removed from the body by the liver, as are many other naturally occurring waste products. When the liver can not do it for any reason, the level of bilirubin in the blood increases and causes jaundice.
Staining can be of different types and can be caused by infections, the use of certain medications or other underlying conditions such as blood disorders, gallstones, hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, pancreatic cancer, etc. The condition is often a sign of a problem with the liver, pancreas, or gall bladder. The most common symptom of jaundice is yellowing of the skin, eyes, tongue, and urine. Depending on the underlying cause, other symptoms may include fatigue, headache, fever, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, abdominal pain, itchy skin and colored stool blade.
There are several home remedies that can help treat jaundice by stimulating the functioning of the liver and increasing the circulation of bile in the bile ducts.
1_ LEMON
Lemon can help treat jaundice because of its healing properties of the liver. As a diuretic by nature, lemon encourages the production of urine so that hazardous wastes, including bilirubin, can be eliminated from the body. In addition, it stimulates the production of bile by the liver and stimulates the absorption of minerals.
☆☆Dilute the juice of half a lemon in a glass of water and drink three or four times a day for two to three weeks. You can also mix the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt in half a glass of water. Drink three times a day for a few weeks.
2_ SUGARCANE
Another popular remedy for the rapid recovery of jaundice is sugar cane. During jaundice, there is a sharp drop in glucose levels. The easily digestible sugar found in sugar cane keeps your energy level high and ensures faster recovery. Plus, since sugar cane is completely alkaline in nature, it helps maintain low acid levels in your body and keeps the body hydrated.
☆☆ Make a glass of sugar cane juice and squeeze the juice of half a lemon in it. Mix well and drink this juice two or three times a day for two to three weeks. This will help you to urinate properly and nourish your body.
3_ TURMERIC
Turmeric is rich in a compound called curcumin that helps in the process of liver detoxification. Curcumin prevents alcohol and other harmful toxins from damaging the liver. In addition, its medicinal and healing properties ensure faster recovery.
☆☆Mix a quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of warm water. Dink this solution two or three times a day for a few weeks.
