HELLO RAHUL,
Your eyes and skin turning yellow means bilirubin (a yellow pigment) is building up in your blood. Normally, your liver filters bilirubin and sends it out through bile into your intestine. When the liver is inflamed (like in hepatitis), or if bile flow is blocked (like gallstones, obstruction), bilirubin builds up-> leading to jaundice
YOUR SYMPTOMS -yellow eyes/skin (hyperbilirubinemia) -loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss - weakness, fatigue
These are red flags that your liver is struggling. The liver is like your body’s chemical factory- when it’s not well, energy, digestion, and detox all suffer.
TREATMENT GOALS -find and treat the root cause (viral hepatitis, obstruction, alcohol/toxin-related etc) -support the liver so it can heal -lower bilirubin naturally by restoring liver function - prevent complications like liver failure, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis
INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Liver function test -CBC - to rule out infection/hemolysis -Viral markers= Hepatits A, B, C, E -Ultrasound abdomen- to check for obstruction, gallstones, liver swelling
In Ayurveda, jaundice is often described under Kamala, a pitta dominant disorder where excess heat and toxins overwhelm the liver and blood. It is said to follow untreated pandu roga (anemia) or heavy pitta aggravation from diet/lifestyle

When experiencing jaundice symptoms like yellowish eyes and skin, alongside anorexia and nausea, it’s crucial to address this condition promptly. Elevation of bilirubin can indicate liver dysfunction or bile flow obstruction. It’s always important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and potentially urgent intervention, especially when weight loss is significant.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition often relates to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, one associated with the liver and bile. To address this, there are several approaches you might find helpful:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet, emphasizing foods that are cooling and soothing. Incorporate more cucumbers, cilantro, and amla (Indian gooseberry). Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods. Stick to easily digestible meals - light khichdi made with moong dal and rice can be very beneficial.
2. Herbs and Remedies: Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri) are classical Ayurvedic herbs known for their liver-protective qualities. Consider these under supervision of an ayurvedic practitioner to ensure appropriate dosages.
3. Hydration: Drink adequate amounts of water. You can boil water with cumin seeds and allow it to cool; this can aid digestion and reduce nausea.
4. Lifestyle Practices: Avoid physical exertion and stress, both physical and mental, as these can aggravate Pitta further. Ensure ample rest and try to keep your routine calm and steady.
5. Therapeutic Practices: Gentle abdominal massages with coconut or olive oil can help stimulate liver function and support digestion. However, be mindful and gentle not to put undue pressure on your abdomen.
Balancing your digestive fire (Agni) is key; small, regular meals that do not overwhelm your digestive capacity are preferable. Lastly, while Ayurveda can provide supportive care, don’t delay contacting healthcare providers or seek emergency assistance if symptoms escalate. Prioritizing your safety and proper medical intervention is vital.

Yellowing of the skin and eyes, along with other symptoms like anorexia and weight loss, suggest elevated bilirubin levels and likely jaundice. Because jaundice can indicate a variety of underlying conditions, it’s crucial to consult a medical professional immediately for a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. In parallel, some traditional Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches might help support your healing process.
The first goal would be to balance your pitta dosha, as excess pitta can lead to liver dysfunction and high bilirubin. Start by avoiding spicy, oily, and fried foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol, which can aggravate the liver. Opt for a pitta-pacifying diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains like rice and barley.
Herbs like kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) can be beneficial due to their hepatoprotective properties but consult with a qualified practitioner before using any herbs. Kutki is traditionally used to support liver function and may help reduce bilirubin levels. Take care, as dosages should be personalized to your body constitution and condition.
Keep your body hydrated with warm water or herbal teas like dandelion or chamomile, which may assist digestion and ease symptoms of nausea. Prioritize rest, as it can help your body’s natural healing processes.
In Siddha-Ayurvedic practice, maintaining a calm mind through yoga or meditation can support the healing of the body. Practices such as Pranayama (breathing exercises) are also recommended to harmonize the dosha balance, particularly beneficial for liver health.
Lastly, continual monitoring of your symptoms and your bilirubin levels by a healthcare provider is crucial to ensure there is no severe underlying condition and to prevent complications. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, seek medical attention promptly.
