large handfuls in water. When the plants soften, cool them and apply directly on
the skin.

nails short to prevent skin damage from scratching.

over itchy areas.
Take bath with lukewarm water.
Apply a soothing lotion on to the skin after bath.
Avoid exposure to heat and humidity.
Keep your body and affected areas dry and clean at all times. Moisture can
worsen itching
Home remedies for Jaundice
Jaundice treatment using Bitter Luffa
The juice of bitter luffa is regarded as an effective remedy for jaundice. It is
obtained by pounding and squeezing the bitter luffa through cloth. The juice
should be placed on the palm of the hand and drawn up through the nostrils. This
will cause a profuse outflow of a yellow-coloured fluid through the nostrils. The
toxic matter having been evacuated in a considerable quantity, the patient will
feel relieved. This is, however, a strong medicine and may cause side-effects like
giddiness, migraine, and, at times, high fever for a short duration in patients with
a delicate nature. Its use should, therefore, be avoided by such patients. If the
juice of green bitter luffa is not available, it can be substituted by two to three
drops of the fluid obtained by soaking its dry crusts overnight in water. This will
produce an identical effect. Seeds of bitter lnffa which are easily available can
also be used for the same purpose after rubbing in water.
