Jaundice occurs when the liver fails to produce bilirubin, a yellow substance made when red blood cells break down. Meanwhile, hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which there is too much bilirubin in the blood, which results in jaundice. When a person suffers from jaundice, it leads to discolouration of their skin and eyes. Baba Ramdev suggests a home remedy or Ayurvedic treatment effective for jaundice.
Baba Ramdev explains how to treat jaundice
The eyes of a person with jaundice turn yellow. They experience anemia, loss of appetite, and liver dysfunction. Baba Ramdev explains that this disease can occur at any age and affects children, women, or men. There is no allopathic cure for this disease, but traditional home remedies are very effective for treating jaundice. For example, drinking the juice of 3 to 5 castor leaves on an empty stomach in the morning for four to five days helps in curing jaundice.
Foods to avoid eating during jaundice
People who suffer from jaundice or liver problems must avoid eating fried foods. Jaundice patients should also avoid consuming ghee.
What to eat during jaundice?
Baba Ramdev suggests that jaundice patients consume ragi roti, jowar roti, rice, and bottle gourd (lauki). Lentils can also be eaten. Additionally, light foods do not put too much pressure on the liver.
Jaundice patients should also perform yoga daily. Kapalbhati acts like a good tonic for the liver. Baba Ramdev explains that nowadays children frequently suffer from jaundice. If they are made to do Kapalbhati from a young age, they will never have liver problems, jaundice, or hepatitis.
Press this pressure point for jaundice
Baba Ramdev says that nature has a cure for almost every disease. Pressing the lower part between the little finger and the ring finger of the right hand provides relief from jaundice.
These Ayurvedic medicines are beneficial
- Kumaryasava and Lohasava are Ayurvedic medicines. Take 2 teaspoons of each and mix with 4 teaspoons of water, and drink after meals. However, you should consult a doctor before consuming it.
- Fresh Punarnava juice can also be consumed. The juice extracted from the bark of Totla and Shyonak can be consumed in 2-3 teaspoon quantities.
- Bhumyamalaki is a plant that can be used as a liver tonic. It has small fruits that look similar to Amla. It can be consumed during jaundice.
- Baba Ramdev says that people who suffer from chronic jaundice can take half a gram of the powder of the root of the Calotropis procera (Ak) tree with water in the morning. This can cure even severe jaundice. The small leaves of the Calotropis procera tree can be placed in a betel leaf and slowly chewed. After that, chickpeas can be eaten. This provides relief from jaundice.
