Home Remedies for Jaundice

1. Lemons

Lemons can help treat jaundice due to their liver-healing properties. Being diuretic in nature, lemons encourage urine production so that harmful waste products, including bilirubin, get eliminated from the body. Plus, they stimulate the liver’s bile production and boost mineral absorption.

• Dilute the juice from half a lemon in one glass of water and drink it three or four times a day for two to three weeks.
• You can also mix the juice of one-half lemon and a pinch of salt in one-half glass of water. Drink it three times a day for a few weeks.
• Alternatively, add eight to 10 lemon leaves to a cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for about five minutes. Strain and drink it twice daily for weeks.

2. Sugarcane

Another popular remedy for quick recovery from jaundice is sugarcane. During jaundice, there is sudden drop in glucose level. The easily digestible sugar found in sugarcane helps keep your energy level high and ensures faster recovery.

Plus, as sugarcane is completely alkaline in nature, it helps maintain low acid levels in your body and keeps the body hydrated.

• Make a glass of sugarcane juice and squeeze the juice from half a lemon into it. Mix well and then drink this juice two or three times daily for two to three weeks. This will help you to pass urine properly and nourish your body.
• Alternatively, you can have a cup of sugarcane juice with one teaspoon of basil leaves paste twice daily for several weeks.
