Signs Of Liver Problems Your Feet Are Telling You
9 Things Your Feet Can Tell You About Your Liver
via Dr. Eric Berg
1. Red and brown dots (usually in the lower leg) – This can mean poor circulation and can also be diabetes.
2. Spider veins or spider nevus – could be seen in cirrhosis. There is a building of a lot of estrogen in the liver.
Too much estrogen can affect the vascular system.
3. Cracked heels – This could be a vitamin B3 deficiency or an omega 3 fatty acid deficiency.
4. Itching in the bottom of the foot – A potential sign of a congested liver, or back up of fluids in the liver.
It can also be bile backing up, and a buildup of histamines.
5. Hot feet or bad odor – These are other potential symptoms of a liver problem. The liver can’t detoxify correctly. It is backing up through the skin.
6. Pitting edema – this is fluid back up, which is a common symptom of a liver problem.
7. Toenail fungus – People with liver problems can have a higher number of fungus growing in the body because of the imbalance of the flora in the gut.
8. White nail bed – This can be because of the poor circulation.
9. Side effects of medications
