Jaundice (Kamala)
At Atreya Ayurveda Wellness, we restore complete liver health and biliary function—eliminating yellowing skin, normalizing digestion, and rebuilding hepatic strength. With extensive clinical experience treating jaundice (Kamala) through Ayurvedic medicine, we've helped hundreds of patients recover liver function, eliminate viral/obstructive jaundice, restore energy, and reclaim vibrant health without damage to liver tissue. Our proven Ayurvedic approach addresses the root biliary and hepatic imbalances—creating sustainable liver wellness.
Understanding Jaundice (Kamala) - The Ayurvedic Perspective
Jaundice, clinically recognized as elevated bilirubin and yellowing of skin/sclera indicating liver dysfunction or bile obstruction, is called Kamala in Ayurveda (Kamala = yellowness). Our approach asks: "Why has liver detoxification failed? What fundamental imbalances have compromised hepatic function and bile flow?" Our comprehensive protocol treats these dosha imbalances, strengthens liver tissue, supports hepatic regeneration, and restores complete biliary function.
1. Pitta Dosha Excess
Excess hepatic heat creates liver inflammation and impairs bilirubin processing and bile flow regulation.
2. Ama Accumulation
Metabolic toxins block liver channels and hepatocyte function, preventing proper detoxification.
3. Weak Digestive Fire
Poor digestion fails to process fats and toxins, overloading the liver and impairing detoxification capacity.
4. Viral Hepatitis
Hepatotropic virus infection damages hepatocytes and triggers inflammatory jaundice with liver dysfunction.
5. Biliary Obstruction
Gallstones or blocked ducts prevent bile flow, causing backup of bilirubin and obstructive jaundice.
6. Chronic Alcohol Use
Hepatotoxic alcohol directly damages liver tissue, impairs detoxification, and triggers alcoholic jaundice.
7. Medication Toxicity
Hepatotoxic drugs overwhelm liver capacity and trigger drug-induced jaundice and liver damage.
8. Heavy Metal Toxicity
Accumulated heavy metals bind to liver enzymes, impairing hepatocyte function and bilirubin metabolism.
9. Poor Diet
Difficult-to-digest foods and excess fat overwhelm liver capacity and create hepatic congestion.
10. Chronic Stress
Psychological stress impairs hepatic blood flow and nervous system control of liver function.
11. Sleep Deprivation
Poor sleep impairs liver's nighttime regeneration and reduces detoxification capacity.
12. Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of exercise impairs circulation to liver and reduces lymphatic drainage from hepatic tissues.
13. Chronic Constipation
Retained waste increases hepatic load and reduces proper bile circulation and bilirubin elimination.
14. Dehydration
Insufficient water impairs liver detoxification and bilirubin transport through biliary system.
15. Autoimmune Liver Disease
Immune-mediated liver damage destroys hepatocytes and impairs liver regeneration capacity.
16. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis
Advanced liver scarring reduces functional hepatic tissue and impairs all liver functions severely.
13. Excess Heating Foods
Spicy, fried foods create additional hepatic heat and inflammation aggravating Pitta in liver.
18. Emotional Suppression
Repressed anger and resentment block Liver Qi flow and impair hepatic function.
19. Genetic Predisposition
Inherited liver weakness (Rakta Dhatu Kshaya) creates susceptibility to hepatic dysfunction.
20. Environmental Toxin Exposure
Chemical exposure from pollution, pesticides overwhelms liver detoxification capacity.
Modern lifestyle with processed foods, alcohol, medications, environmental toxins, and stress creates epidemic liver disease. Our Ayurvedic protocol strengthens liver tissue, supports hepatic regeneration, and restores complete biliary and hepatic function.
