Your Liver Is Overloaded: The Signs In The Body

Before it is too late, we can detect liver problems thanks to different signals that our body sends us, because they can be see at the exterior level.

We all hear about the liver all the time, as a lot of health conditions are linked to this organ either directly or indirectly. 

Why is this happening? Why is he the big victim of poor diet, pollution, stress, negative emotions etc. ?

In this article we’ll help you know if your liver is overloaded with signals that are easy to detect.

The liver affects the whole body

The liver is a vital organ in connection with the blood circulation of the whole organism, as well as with the purification of toxic substances.

This is why if it does not work well, our body can suffer consequences in different parts.

In this article, we explain how the liver function is reflected, for example, on the face, mouth, skin or hair.

Wrinkles between the eyebrows

We have always considered that wrinkles are the result of aging, and that genetics predispose us to have them, sooner or later.

However, wrinkles say a lot about how our body works and can be very helpful in preventing disease. 

This is the case, for example, with vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. They can be a signal that our liver is overloaded. The deeper they are, the more serious the infection.

Brown or green spots

Brown or green spots on the face are a cosmetic problem but also a consequence of age or sun exposure.

If they are on the right side of the temples, these spots also indicate a malfunction of the liver, although they can also affect the gallbladder, pancreas and spleen.

Regarding the color of the face, if it tends to be yellowish, it may also be evidence of a liver disorder.

Oily skin on the forehead

Another question that we attribute to genetics and age is skin type. However, too dry or too oily skin can indicate an inner imbalance.

When we have excessively oily skin on the forehead, we can suffer from liver fragility. In some cases, this is associated with excess sweating in that area.

Localized alopecia and white hair

In the spring or fall, you may lose a little more hair than usual. Yet there are people who suffer from it for a very long time and for no apparent reason.

To solve this, it is important to observe where we are losing hair.

If the alopecia is localized on the central part of the head, which even begins to clear up, in both men and women, this would indicate a malfunction of several organs, including the liver.

Premature gray hair could also indicate liver or gallbladder problems. 

Sight problems

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver directly conditions the blood flow which reaches the eyes.

This is why vision problems could be the hallmark of an impaired liver, among others.

If the liver is not functioning well, the eyes may lose their natural shine, the pupils their whitish reflection, and a yellowish color may stain the sclera and the area under the eyes.

Inflammation of the gums and throat

Many people have inflamed gums and bleed easily when brushing their teeth. This issue is also related to the liver, as is inflammation in the throat area.

Although we use special toothpastes, if we do not improve liver function, we will not resolve the tenderness and inflammation of the gums and throat.

How are your stools?

Stools are also a health indicator that we need to pay attention to. We will tell you which ones could indicate a poor functioning of the liver:

• Stools have a strong and bitter smell, and a sticky texture, the result of poor digestion and too long fermentation of food.
• Hard, dry, ball-shaped stools typical of constipation. They are also linked to the liver.
• Diarrhea.
• Pale or clay colored stools.
• Floating stools, the result of fat from foods that could not be digested well.

So how is your liver doing?
