Jaundice is a signal of underlying disease in either the liver or gallbladder, or both.

It manifests as yellowing of the skin, the whites of the eyes, and other body tissues. The yellowing of the skin, eyes, and tissues caused by jaundice is due to increased circulation of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow-brown pigment that is normally cleared from the blood by the liver and excreted in the feces as bile.

Additional symptoms may include darkening of the urine, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pale-colored feces, fluid retention in the abdominal area, digestive problems, rashes, and severe fatigue.

Jaundice is usually a sign of one or more of the following disorders: hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, breakdown of blood, problems in the gallbladder or bile ducts (due to stones, inflammation, tumor, or infection), and pernicious anemia. Jaundice that occurs at birth is common but is usually not serious.

Caution: If you exhibit any of the symptoms of jaundice, seek prompt medical attention, including having blood tests. Other tests may also be needed, such as liver biopsy or ultrasound scanning of the liver.

There are natural cures for Jaundice that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. They involve restoring the biochemical balance of the body, and making dietary and lifestyle changes designed to improve one's general health.
