crigler najjar syndrome - #17256

A few months ago, my newborn was diagnosed with Crigler Najjar Syndrome, and I’ve been trying to understand what that means for his health and future. I was devastated when I heard the diagnosis because I had never heard of this condition before. After a few tests, the doctor explained that it’s a rare genetic disorder that affects the liver’s ability to process bilirubin, leading to jaundice and the potential for brain damage if not managed properly. I’ve been looking up more about Crigler Najjar Syndrome and what I can do to support my baby. I found out that there are two types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is more severe and requires lifelong treatment, while Type 2 can often be managed with medication. It’s been really hard to find clear information on how to treat or manage the condition naturally, as most treatments involve phototherapy or other medical interventions. Since I’m always looking for natural approaches, I started researching Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda have any recommendations for treating Crigler Najjar Syndrome or supporting liver function in such cases? I’ve read that certain herbs and practices can help improve liver health and detoxification—could they help in cases like these, or is this more of a condition that requires medical intervention? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs that can help support liver function, such as Turmeric, Guduchi, or Dandelion root? Do they help with conditions related to bilirubin processing? Also, should I be adjusting my baby’s diet in any way to support better liver health? If anyone has experience with Crigler Najjar Syndrome or managing similar conditions through Ayurveda, I’d love to hear what worked for you. What natural therapies helped, if any, and how did you work alongside traditional treatments to support the liver? I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to help my baby thrive.
