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, which is why a yellowing belongs to be clarified by a doctor promptly in any case. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on an energetic level.
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.
