Some natural remedies for jaundice and what is jaundice?
It’s a situation where your skin or the whites of your eyes turn yellow or slightly yellow-orange, and that’s your bilirubin backing up into the skin.
What is Bilirubin?
It’s an end compound that comes from the breakdown of red blood cells. So, if there’s Bilirubin that is backed up in the system, your liver is not clearing it out.
Now, with an infant, what usually happens is the liver isn’t quite up to par or developed enough to process this chemical out of the body. But in an adult, it’s usually liver damage from many different sources.
1st: Sunlight:
One really good remedy for an infant who has jaundice is just sunlight. It will give you the vitamin D, and if you can’t get the sun, you can use a certain type of light, which is a 165 to 180 watt halogen light, which is a type of phototherapy, which helps clear bilirubin out of the skin. It will give you the full spectrum of sunlight without the UV radiation, and vitamin D in general will clear this out of the skin as well.
2nd: Rosemary
Rosemary is a liver protective, okay? So, it decreases liver damage, and as the liver gets healthy, it can then form the natural detoxification process of getting rid of excess bilirubin.
3rd: Lemon Juice
Lemon juice has nine unique flavonoids, which are phytochemicals that help decrease liver enzymes like ALT and AST. So basically, they improve liver damage.
4th: Ginger
Ginger also has powerful phytonutrients or antioxidants, which can also decrease liver enzymes. The studies were done in mice, not humans, so I just want to point that out.
5th: Amla Berry
Amla berry is very, very rich in vitamin C, the whole complex, not a synthetic version. And vitamin C, in general, being a very powerful antioxidant, can help take the stress off the liver, reduce liver enzymes, reduce liver stress. It’s liver protective, so it protects the liver.
6th: Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is one of my favorite antimicrobial herbs, but it’s also good for the liver as well.
7th: Milk Thistle
Milk thistle has been thoroughly studied. It’s very, very important in repairing liver damage, and as you improve the liver function, you can clear this out of the system.
So, in summary, jaundice is simply a visual symptom that you have an underlying liver problem. Alright, thanks.
