What Are the Causes, Symptoms, and Best Treatments for Jaundice? - #14442
I recently came across a case of jaundice, and I want to understand what causes it, how serious it can be, and what treatments are available. Some people say that jaundice is just a sign of liver issues, but I am unsure whether it can also be caused by other underlying conditions. Jaundice occurs when bilirubin levels build up in the blood, leading to yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, and fatigue. It is often caused by liver disease, hepatitis, gallbladder issues, or hemolysis (excess breakdown of red blood cells). Many doctors recommend blood tests and liver function tests to determine the cause of jaundice. Treatments vary depending on the underlying cause, including liver detoxification, antiviral medications, or even dietary changes. However, I want to know whether natural remedies like Ayurvedic herbs (e.g., Kutki, Bhumiamalaki) or home treatments can help with jaundice recovery. For those who have experienced jaundice, what treatments worked best for speeding up recovery and restoring liver function? Would love insights into the best ways to treat jaundice and whether it requires urgent medical intervention.
