Abstract

Jaundice, which results in yellowish skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes, is a typical clinical sign of elevated blood bilirubin levels. It is caused by several disease processes affecting the liver, bile ducts, or red blood cells. This study reviews the causes of jaundice, diagnostic techniques, and available treatments, with an emphasis on using herbal medicine in addition to conventional therapy. The combination of traditional and modern medicine offers a holistic framework that enhances liver function, encourages cleansing, and reduces issues. Evidence- based herbal remedies with noteworthy hepatoprotective properties include Silybum marianum, Curcuma longa, Phyllanthus niruri, and Picrorhiza kurroa. This review promotes integrative and patient-centered care in pharmacy practice while highlighting the mechanisms, advantages, and drawbacks of herbal therapies.
