Yellowing of skin and eyes occurs when bile pigments build up—often from liver or bile-duct issues. Ayurveda describes related patterns under Kāmala with roles for aggravated Pitta (notably Rañjaka Pitta) affecting Yakṛt (liver) and Rakta (blood). Supportive care focuses on calming Pitta, aiding digestion, and steady routines—alongside your clinician’s plan.
Jaundice is a sign—often of liver, bile-duct, or red-blood-cell issues—where bilirubin builds up and yellows the skin/eyes. Common causes include viral hepatitis, gallstone obstruction, some medicines, and liver disease. Prompt medical evaluation is important to determine the cause.
From a modern lens: infections, obstruction, hemolysis, drug-induced or metabolic causes. In Ayurveda, excess Pitta and impaired digestion/circulation in the hepatic channels are emphasized; routines and diet that overheat or overload may aggravate patterns.
Ayurveda relates jaundice to Kāmala, often involving aggravated Pitta (notably Rañjaka Pitta) acting on Yakṛt and Rakta. Supportive care aims to cool/balance Pitta, aid digestion (Agni), and clear residual Āma where present—always complementary to medical diagnosis and treatment.
Urgent care is needed for severe abdominal pain, confusion, high fever, or bleeding.
See a clinician promptly for newborn jaundice, rapidly deepening yellowing, or persistent symptoms.
