Jaundice and liver care in Varanasi
Yellow eyes or skin, dark urine and unusually pale stool can indicate jaundice, known as Piliya or Kamala. Jaundice is a sign of an underlying problem, not a single disease. New yellowing needs prompt medical assessment before starting Ayurvedic or herbal remedies.
Find the cause first
Possible causes include hepatitis, blocked bile ducts or gallstones, medicine-related injury and other liver or blood disorders. Bring bilirubin and liver-test reports, imaging and all prescriptions. The clinician may advise further tests or specialist care. A serious obstruction or infection cannot be managed with diet alone.
Support after diagnosis
At Aarogyam Shri Ayurveda, discuss appropriate food, routine and any complementary care only after the cause and current treatment are understood. Avoid alcohol and self-prescribed liver tonics. Some herbal products can injure the liver or interact with prescribed medicines; share the complete ingredient list. Diet and fluid advice depend on the diagnosis and other illnesses.
When to go directly to hospital
Jaundice with fever, strong abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, confusion, bleeding or unusual drowsiness needs urgent hospital care. Do not postpone necessary medical treatment for a routine clinic visit.
For ultrasound-diagnosed fatty liver without acute jaundice, see fatty liver assessment and follow-up.
