Jaundice
Jaundice (icterus) denotes a yellowing of skin and eyes and is a symptom, not an illness in itself. It can point to illnesses of the liver, gall or blood – among them a hepatitis. A yellowing always belongs to be clarified by a doctor promptly. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on an energetic level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading: the liver as an energy reserve
In our reading, the liver stands for the energy reserve of the person; a yellowing we read symbolically as a hint of overload. That is an inner image – no diagnosis and no claim about causes.
Important: always have it medically clarified
The cause of the jaundice must be found by a doctor. With a viral hepatitis, contagion is also to be considered; against hepatitis A and B, vaccinations protect. Please do not treat it yourself and do not wait.
What does that mean in practice?
- With a yellowing of skin/eyes, have it clarified by a doctor promptly.
- Clarify questions about diet, alcohol or vaccine protection with a doctor.
- Understand the soul-related view as a supplement, not as a treatment.
