SIGNS OF LIVER DAMAGE

The difficulty with the liver is that it doesn’t ‘cry out in pain’.  You can do serious damage to it and never experience symptoms you would connect or directly relate to a congested liver.  However, there are many signs such as several deep lines or puffiness between the eyebrows, and being unable to tolerate the cold in winter.  On the flip side, if your liver is overactive, you may also feel feverish and find summer months very uncomfortable.
Other symptoms and signs of liver damage include:

• Anemia
• Hemorrhoids
• Dark urine
• Small red ‘spots’ the size of a pinhead that come and go in various parts on the body
• Skin problems such as eczema, acne, hives, itching, rashes.  Skin may have dark pigmentation or spots on face, back of hands, forehead, or around the nose.
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin)
• Eye problems (sensitivity to light, moving spots, double vision)
• Whites of eyes become yellow
• Mineral deficiency
• Hormonal imbalances in women creating malfunctions in conception and loss of sex drive
• Hormonal balances in men which may produce feminine qualities
• Loss of weight
• Obesity
• Sinus and tonsil issues
• Alternating constipation and diarrhea
• Headaches, dizziness, and shivering
• Loss of appetite
• Eating disorders
• Diabetes
• Hepatitis
• Cirrhosis

Since an impaired liver can not process toxins, even the brain and central nervous system are affected. This can cause depression, daydreaming, an inability to concentrate and remember things, and more severe things like mental outbursts.

Other Organs Affected by Liver Damage

In order to heal the liver, all other organs must be strengthened as well. This includes the kidneys and bladder and digestive functions (including stomach and pancreas), which are controlled by the liver.
Recall that as the liver weakens, it pulls energy away from the stomach, digestion, and pancreas, so this causes the stomach to not digest well.
