What is Jaundice?
Jaundice is the yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. It is caused by a build-up of a substance called Bilirubin.In many cases, yellowness in the white part of the eyes is more obvious than in the skin. Jaundice in newborn babies is common as their livers take time to get working properly.
There are three types of jaundice that affects adults are:
Hemolytic jaundice
Hepatocellular jaundice and
Obstructive jaundice
Common Causes of Jaundice
The red blood cells after a period of 4 months time becomes fragile and becomes a yellow like chemical called Bilirubin. The body usually removes bilirubin from the bloodstream by passing it though the liver and to the kidneys for disposal. The liver, which plays a vital role in removing the bilirubin from the body, may not be able to do so for some reasons, where the bilirubin gets accumulated and causes jaundice.

Wow... Nice article. Most of us are suffering form Jaundice with no symptoms. Hope this will help to cure it...
One of my friend's her husband had jaundice so she cooked all the food in fresh tamarind juice for one whole month and he was as right as rain. apparently the symptoms disappeared in one week. I tried out tamarind even when i had a tummy upset it really is a miraculous thing.
Another friend of mine is an ayurvedic doctor and says another thing that really works is if you grow aloe vera in your home, just extract the fresh juice and take approximately 20 ml twice on an empty stomach , the alternative to that being the fresh juice from the leaves of henna. to 5 to 10 ml of the juice, add a moderate quantity of mishri or sugar and take this twice on an empty stomach.
My favourite therapy is the sugarcane juice which ofcourse is the tastiest and apparently works the fastest and is great for the liver.
