Jaundice is a disease caused due to vitiation of the pitta
dosha. It is called as kamala. When there is an excessive
circulation of the bile pigments in the blood, then this disease
is caused. Pitta dosha controls the bile pigments.
Causes of Jaundice:
Jaundice is caused by an increasing amount of bilirubin in the
blood. When red blood cells break down, the heme in their
hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin. The bilirubin is processed
by the liver where it is eliminated in bile. The hemoglobin is
in the red cells of the blood that carries oxygen in your cells.
As red blood cells die your body builds new cells to replace
them and the old ones are processed by the liver. If any reason
the red blood cells die rate faster than as usual, bilirubins
can collect in the blood and cause jaundice. Other causes of
jaundice are anemia and other diseases which affect the liver
such as malaria, yellow fever, typhoid and tuberculosis.
Jaundice that is present at the time of birth suggests a more

blood become raised in almost all babies during the first few
days following birth, and jaundice becomes more than half
