Description
Infant jaundice is a common neonatal condition, especially in preterm babies born before 38 weeks gestation. It is the most frequent clinical sign in newborn medicine. While many cases resolve naturally, those requiring intervention often respond well to gentle, non-invasive therapies like homeopathy.
According to the American Journal of Diseases of Children, bacterial infections should be considered a potential cause of neonatal jaundice, regardless of the baby's clinical presentation. Pediatric research published in the Rigorous Journal also links infant jaundice with increased risk of allergic diseases in early childhood.
Causes: Excess bilirubin (hyperbilirubinemia) is the primary cause. Risk factors include premature birth, birth trauma with bruising, and nursing difficulties.
Symptoms: Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, poor sucking or feeding, fever, and backward arching of the neck and body.
Homeopathic Remedies for Infant Jaundice – Indication-Based Selection
Renowned homeopath Dr. K.S. Gopi—researcher, academician, and author of the bestselling book Homeopathy Easy Prescriber—has identified key remedies tailored to the symptomatic patterns of neonatal jaundice.
Lupulus 30 is highly effective for neonatal jaundice with yellow pigmentation of the skin and slow pulse. It supports liver function to break down and eliminate excess bilirubin from the baby’s blood.
Lycopodium Clav 30 is indicated when the baby is irritable, constipated, and has a gassy, rumbling belly—especially worse between 4 PM and 8 PM. These symptoms may stem from liver conditions like biliary atresia.
Arnica Montana 30 is recommended for jaundice following traumatic birth. Bruising and swelling can elevate bilirubin levels. Administer Arnica immediately after difficult delivery to prevent jaundice onset.
Aconitum Napellus 30 is suited for sudden-onset jaundice, especially when mother or baby experiences shock after a difficult or unexpectedly short labor.
Chamomilla 30 is a specific remedy for jaundice that appears immediately after birth.
Chelidonium Maj. 30 is a prominent liver remedy for jaundice with lethargy and sluggish bowels. Clay-colored stools may indicate bile buildup. Regular bowel movements help eliminate bilirubin effectively.
Merc Sol 30 is recommended when jaundice persists beyond one week. It supports timely diagnosis and helps prevent complications from prolonged bilirubin elevation.
China 30 is typically administered after Merc Sol in cases of unresolved jaundice.
