Jaundice is a clinical condition marked by yellowish discoloration of the skin, sclera (whites of eyes), and mucous membranes, caused by an elevated level of bilirubin in the blood. It is not a disease itself but a manifestation of underlying disorders affecting the liver, bile ducts, or red blood cells. The causes are typically classified as pre-hepatic (hemolysis), hepatic (liver cell damage), and post-hepatic (obstructive). Common causes include viral hepatitis, gallstones, alcoholism, drug toxicity, and hemolytic anemia. Symptoms often include loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, itching, dark urine, pale stools, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent or severe jaundice requires medical evaluation to prevent hepatic failure or chronic liver disease.

Homoeopathy treats jaundice by addressing the underlying cause—whether infectious, obstructive, or metabolic—and by stimulating the liver’s natural detoxifying and regenerative ability. Remedies are chosen according to the character of stool and urine, color of skin, digestive symptoms, emotional state, and causative factors such as alcohol, grief, or dietary excess. Homoeopathic medicines improve bile flow, tone of liver cells, and digestion, offering safe and gentle recovery without suppressing vital processes.
