Cure Jaundice: 15 Natural Home Remedies for Jaundice - Part 1


Jaundice is a condition where the skin, mucus membranes and the eyes whites take on a yellow shade. This yellow color occurs due to the presence of the excess of a bile color called bilirubin in the blood. Liver manufactures bile, which is essential for proper digestion and it ensures good nutrition. It has a favorable influence on the common digestive functions. It prevents the decomposing of food. If the bile fails to enter the intestines, the harmful gases and several toxic materials are produced. But our body ensures that the bile and its flow are continuous.
