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.

destruction of red blood cells, therefore, it causes anemia and increased
formation of bilirubin.

conjugation of bilirubin in the liver cells and the entrance of bile in the
