| Herbal Remedies for JaundiceIn jaundice there is excessive accumulation of a fluid called bilirubin in the body, with consequent yellow coloration of the skin and the mucous membranes. Generally it is caused by an obstruction in the bile duct, which causes the bile to enter the blood stream instead of going into the small intestine. The body acquires a yellow color as a result. Ordinarily, the bile helps the digestion of fats in the small intestine. As a result of the lack of bile in the small intestine caused by the obstruction, fats fail to be digested properly, and the excreta lose their normal color, appearing whitish because of the absence of bile and the presence of excessive fats.
