Abstract
Jaundice is a yellow colouring of the skin, mucous membranes, and the conjunctival membrane surrounding the sclera. It is a clinical indication of underlying hepatocellular dysfunction, biliary obstruction, or anomalies in bilirubin metabolism. Kamala might be linked to jaundice based on shared traits. Ayurveda has been well known for treating liver disorders for centuries. In this case report, a 29-year-old male patient, visited the Kayachikitsa outpatient department with primary complaints of pricking pain in the abdomen, loss of appetite, yellow discolouration of urine, nausea, vomiting, generalised weakness, and constipation for 10 days. Based on clinical examination and Liver Function Tests (LFT), he was diagnosed with jaundice. The patient was effectively treated with Shodhan (bio-purification) with sadya virechan (purgation therapy) followed by medicinal treatment for 45 days. Within 7-8 days, there was a significant improvement in abdominal pain with mild tenderness, frequency of vomiting, complaints of anorexia, nausea, constipation, and yellow discolouration of urine, along with substantial improvement in liver function. After 45 days of Ayurvedic treatment, all symptoms and liver functions showed highly significant results. The treatment was given by considering the vitiation of Pitta and Rakta. It can be concluded that by implementing Ayurvedic treatment principles, liver function can be improved in cases of jaundice in a short duration without causing any adverse effects.
