Abstract

Jaundice is a condition in which a yellowish tinge appears on the skin, in mucous membrane and the sclera. Body fluids color also changes. Jaundice frequently indicates a problem with liver functioning. When the liver is not working properly, it can cause waste material called bilirubin build up in the body. Clinical signs of jaundice occur when the serum bilirubin level exceeds 2.5 to 3 mg/dl. In Ayurveda Jaundice described as Kamala. In Kamala disease there is loss of desire to do anything. Kam means different type of desires of the body and mind. Desires especially regarding the diet and physical activity of the body are minimised in Kamala. Patient was treated with an integrated approach of Ayurveda treatment including Virechana Karma (purgation) and Shaman Chikitsa. This paper discusses a patient seen in the IPD of Kaychikitsa department.
