Orange Skin - Art of Ayurveda Skin Color 5 of 9

oranges skin. Orang-ish skin can be caused by keratinosis and that's basically from eating too many orange foods uh you know um that contain keratenoids like carrots contain caratenoids. So, uh, I want to just take a moment here to talk about the easiest consultation I've ever had in my life is I had a client that came that called and said that he, you know, his skin was orange and I was like, "Oh my goodness, I never had a client with orange skin before." This was like my third consultation ever, right? Um um it was my first day of doing consultations and um and so you know it was like one of those first one two one two three people and I was like oh my goodness what am I going to what am I going to do with uh with this client who has orange skin. What am I going to tell him? Well I asked the client what he eats and he said oh I eat carrots. And I told him okay well stop eating carrots. he was basically only eating carrots breakfast, you know, lunch and dinner. So sometimes, you know, even though at that time I didn't know about this oranges skin phenomena, um, you know, I just sat with the client and lo and behold, we found the cause and he stopped eating carrots and was soon fine after that. But oranges skin can be mistaken for jaundice which is a very serious medical condition. Um jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin uh caused by really by intense liver problems. So uh if you have jaundice you you need to seek medical attention immediately. Um, and it's due to uh bilerubin, the presence of too much bilarubin in your blood, which is caused by liver problems. All right? So, don't mistake jaundice for orang-ish skin. They're They're different.
