Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by discoloration from a buildup of waste products in the bloodstream that would normally be dealt with by the liver. It can be caused by a blockage in the bile duct, an infection, or liver disease.
Take carrot juice, wheat germ, lots of steamed broccoli, artichokes, cabbage, and rice, along with plenty of garlic and turmeric.
Temporarily, at least, use sources of protein other than meat or dairy products.
Daily burdock root, dandelion root, red clover flower, and nettle leaf tea will all help; try rotating them. Dandelion is one of the best day-to-day treatments for cooling and strengthening the liver. Both the roots and the leaves can be used.
Use equal amounts of barberry root bark, milk thistle seed, dandelion root, burdock root, yellow dock root, gentian root, and turmeric rhizome as a tincture daily.
If the immune system is weak, use echinacea root or olive leaf.
You will need to do a liver cleanse and eventually a bowel cleanse.
Chicory root enemas and castor-oil packs over the liver accompanied by hot and then cold showers with the water spray aimed directly over the area may help and reduce the bile.
