Kamala (Jaundice) is an important disorder described in Ayurveda that primarily arises from aggravated Pitta dosha affecting the liver and blood tissues. It is closely associated with impaired liver function and disturbance in bile metabolism. When Pitta becomes excessive due to factors such as overeating spicy or oily foods, alcohol intake, infections, or weakened digestion (Agni), toxins accumulate in the body and disturb the normal coloring of the skin and eyes.

The classical symptoms of Kamala include yellowish discoloration of the eyes, skin, nails, and urine. Patients may also experience fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, mild fever, itching, and digestive discomfort. In Ayurveda, Kamala is considered a progression of untreated Pitta-related digestive disorders, especially those affecting the liver and blood circulation.

Management focuses on reducing aggravated Pitta and supporting liver health. A light, cooling, and easily digestible diet is recommended, including foods like barley, green vegetables, pomegranate, sugarcane juice, and coconut water. Spicy, fried, and fatty foods should be avoided. Ayurvedic herbs such as Bhumyamalaki, Kutki, and Guduchi are traditionally used for their hepatoprotective and detoxifying effects. Proper rest, hydration, and maintaining balanced digestion are essential for recovery and prevention.
