I am glad you are focusing on healing your body after jaundice. Jaundice (called Kamala in Ayurveda) indicates an imbalance, primarily of Pitta dosha and the liver tissue, so the focus is on detoxification, cooling the liver, and supporting its function.
Here are some Ayurvedic suggestions for body detox and liver support, focusing on healthy habits and morning routines:
Ayurvedic Remedies for Detox and Liver Health
The primary focus is on foods and herbs that are hepatoprotective (liver-protecting), pitta-pacifying (cooling), and aid gentle detoxification.
Sugarcane Juice (Ganne ka Ras): Ayurveda highly recommends fresh, hygienic sugarcane juice.
It is believed to quickly improve glucose levels and support liver function, which is essential for recovery.
How to take: 1-2 glasses daily. Ensure it is very fresh and clean. Lemon Water: Acts as a natural detoxifier, flushing out toxins.
How to take: A glass of warm water with the juice of half a lemon, taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry) Juice: Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps repair liver damage. How to take: 1 tablespoon of fresh Amla juice mixed with lukewarm water, empty stomach.
Papaya Leaves: Crushed papaya leaf juice is often used to aid in liver detoxification and help lower bilirubin levels.
How to take: A small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of fresh juice daily, as suggested by your practitioner. Bitter Vegetables and Herbs: Bitter taste is considered excellent for pacifying Pitta and cleansing the liver. Include vegetables like Bitter Gourd (Karela), and herbs like Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus Niruri) and Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) in your diet/remedy plan, as prescribed by an Ayurvedic expert.
Best Tea/Drink Empty Stomach (Morning Detox)
Taking a warm drink first thing in the morning (empty stomach) is an Ayurvedic practice to cleanse the digestive tract and stimulate digestion (Agni).
The best suggestions include: Warm Water with Lemon: (As mentioned above) This is a classic detox and Pitta pacifying starter. Coriander-Cumin-Fennel (CCF) Tea: This is a gentle, tri-doshic tea, excellent for digestion and detoxification, and cooling for Pitta.
How to make: Boil 1 cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon each of crushed coriander seeds (dhaniya), cumin seeds (jeera), and fennel seeds (saunf). Steep for 5-10 minutes, strain, and sip warm. Time: Can be taken empty stomach, or sipped throughout the day. Fenugreek (Methi) Water: Soak 1 teaspoon of Fenugreek seeds overnight. Strain the water and drink it empty stomach. It helps eliminate toxins and supports bile flow.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea: Boil a few fresh Tulsi leaves in water, strain, and sip warm. It helps cleanse the blood and liver.
General Diet and Lifestyle Suggestions
Diet: Focus on a light, easily digestible, and Pitta-pacifying diet.
Include: Fresh fruits (papaya, grapes, pomegranate), vegetables (bottle gourd, cucumber, bitter gourd), light grains (rice, barley), and moong dal khichdi.
Avoid: Spicy, fried, oily, processed, and heavy foods. Strictly avoid alcohol.
Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to help flush out toxins. Avoid iced or cold drinks as they dampen the digestive fire (Agni).
Rest: Adequate rest is crucial for your liver to recover. Avoid strenuous physical activity.
Stress Management: Practice gentle Yoga, meditation, and Pranayama (breathing exercises) to manage stress, which can aggravate Pitta.
Remember, the recovery process from jaundice takes time, and consistency with a liver-friendly regimen is key to long-term health.
HELLO ABHIMANYU,
WHAT HAPPENED IN JAUNDICE? -Your liver, which filters toxins and helps in digestion, got inflamed and weak. It couldn’t handle bile pigments properly, so they leaked into your blood-> skin/eyes became yellow
WHY DETOX IS NEEDED NOW? -Even though jaundice has improved, the liver cells are still tender. If you overload them with heavy, oily, alcohol, or junk they may get injured again
AYURVEDIC VIEW -Jaundice is considered a Pitta dosha disorder (excess heat, bile disturbance) often associated with Rakta (blood ) and yakrit dushti (liver imbalance). The treatment goal is not just to clear yellowness but to —heal liver cells —strengthen digestion —purify blood and body channels —prevent recurrence
TREATMENT GOALS 1) Shodhana (cleansing) but gently- avoid aggressive detox, use mild purgatives and herbs 2) Shamana (pacification)- cool down aggravated pitta 3) Rasayana (rejuvination)- strengthen liver and immunity 4) Ahara-vihar (diet and lifestyle correction)- so healing is permanent
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) BHUMYAMALAKI CHURNA= 5gm twice daily with water for 8 weeks =hepatoprotective, antiviral, reduces bilirubin
2) GUDUCHI SATVA= 500mg twice daily with water =immunity booster, pitta pacifier, liver restorative
3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 2 months =detoxifies liver, regulates bile, improves appetite
4) PUNARNAVA MANDOOR= 1 tab twice daily with warm water =corrects anemia, swelling, improves hemoglobin
5) KUMARYASAVA= 15ml with equal water after meals =improves digestion, mild liver stimulants
EXTERNAL APPLICATONS
1) OIL MASSAGE with coconut oil 2-3 times/week= cooling effect stress relief
2) TAKRADHARA= sometimes prescribed in chronic liver inflammation to calm pitta
HOME REMEDIES -Coriander seed water= soak 1 tsp overnight drink in mroning -Sugarcane juice (fresh)= excellent liver tonic, but in moderation and only hygiene source -Papaya leaf extract (mild)= enhances platelet and liver support -Aloe vera pulp= 2 tsp fresh gel empty stomach -Turmeric + honey= 1/4 tsp turmeric with 1 tsp honey daily-> anti inflammatory
DIET -moong dal, red rice, barley, wheat chapati -lauki, tinda, torai, pumpkin, karela -cumin, coriander, fennel as spices -cow’s milk warm, diluted, ghee in small amount
AVOID -alcohol, smoking, junk food -oily, fried, fermented, bakery items -spicy foods, red chilli, garlic, onion in excess -non veg, especially heavy meat and fish -ccarbonated cold drinks, packaged juices
YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -pawanmuktasana -ardha matsyendrasana -vajrasana after meals
PRANAYAM -sheetali/seetkari= balances pitta -nadi sodhana= detoxifies and calms -bhramari= relaxes mind

LIFESTYLE ADVICES -sleep early, wake early -avoid daytime sleeping cause kapha aggraation -avoid stress, anger they aggravate pitta -drink lukewarm water throughout the day -moderate physical activity like walking, yoga
Detox after jaundice in not about harsh fasting or juice cleanses. The liver is a sensitive organ; ayurveda emphasizes through light diet, pitta pacifying herbs, lifestyle correction, and rasayana therapy
If managed well for 2-3 months, liver regains full strength, immunity improves, and recurrence risk drops

Hello Abhimanyu Start with Tablet Liv-52 -DS 1-0-1 after food with water , improves digestion and help detoxify liver Avipattikar tablet 1-0-1 after food with water Aloevera juice 10ml twice daily after food with water.
For managing jaundice, it is vital to support your liver as it’s primarily affected in this condition. Begin with dietary adjustments: stick to a laghu (light) and supachya (easily digestible) diet. Include khichdi made from moong dal (split mung beans) and rice, which is tridosha-moderating and easy on the liver. Karela (bitter gourd) juice can act as a natural liver tonic with its pitta-pacifying properties. Drink a small glass of karela juice in the morning on an empty stomach; it helps in detoxifying and revitalizing the liver.
For detoxification, incorporate fresh coconut water, which is a natural electrolyte balance-restoring drink. It helps with flushing toxins and supports liver function. Amla (Indian gooseberry) can also be beneficial; it is high in Vitamin C and works well for reducing inflammation and aiding liver function. You can consume 1-2 amlas daily, raw or as juice. Make sure you stay well-hydrated but with room-temperature water, as cold water can hindr agni (digestive fire).
Tea on an empty stomach isn’t generally recommended when you’re recovering from jaundice since the caffeine might affect the digestive balance. Instead, opt for herbal teas. You can try a warm infusion of dhania (coriander) seeds. Soak one teaspoon of seeds overnight, boil it in the morning, strain and drink it warm. It’s soothing, detoxifying, and supportive of liver health.
Routine is crucial in ayurveda, so ensure you continue to follow a regular eating and sleeping pattern—ideally, rise with the sun and retire by 10 p.m. light exercise like yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) will also assist in keeping your energy circles running smoothly and promote healing. Avoid heavy, oily, processed foods and alcohol as they strain the liver even more. Minimize exposure to stress as it can exacerbate your condition; mindfulness practices can help here.
Yeah Avoid taking tea on empty stomach Instead of that you can go with caffeine free teas like blue pea flower tea or hibiscus tea which acts as good detoxifier Drink plenty of fluids Include more fruits seasonal vegetables in your diet Avoid spicy non vegetarian foods Eat at regular intervals Sleep before 10 pm Avoid exc screen time Drink pomegranate juice daily And meanwhile you can take Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime Which will act as a detoxify plus even will work as a laxative if constipation is there
