Is Your Liver Inflamed?

The liver is an organ that suffers from junk food, poor lifestyles, repressed feelings and air pollution, among other things. When the liver is feeling unwell, it can lead to a variety of ailments such as vision problems and wrinkles in the corner of the eye, poor blood circulation, digestive problems, fatigue and many more.

Is your liver inflamed? In this article, we’ll review if you have the most common liver-related symptoms and symptoms associated with the disorder, as well as how you can treat your liver to prevent disease and improve your quality of life.

Vision problems

According to traditional Chinese medicine, liver problems are directly related to vision problems because the liver and eyes are located on the same length of the body. Of course, other factors, such as heredity, can affect the health of our eyes, but if you suffer from eye disorders such as myopia, age vision, or astigmatism, you may want to check to see if you suffer from any of the other symptoms we describe below.

Insomnia at 1 to 3 o’clock at night

Every organ in our body is particularly active at some point in the day, when it regenerates and recovers as part of maintaining the body’s natural resistance. The liver is most active at 1-3 o’clock at night. So if you find yourself waking up suddenly during these hours of the night, it could be a sign that you have a poor liver or are suffering from liver dysfunction.

However, keep in mind that eating too big or eating too late in the evening can also negatively affect your sleep quality.

Wrinkles in the eye area

Wrinkles that appear under or around the eye can also be a sign of poor liver function, especially if they appear along with vision problems. If wrinkles appear in the corners of the eyes, and especially if they appear prematurely, pay attention to the function of your liver. If we want to treat these grooves on our face, we need to start from the inside, taking care of our important bodies.

Poor blood circulation

Are you surprised to learn that blood circulation and liver are closely related? The liver is responsible for cleansing the blood. For this reason, proper liver function is vital for good blood circulation. So if you suffer from varicose veins or hemorrhoids at a young age, you should of course treat them locally, but also take care of your liver function.

Poor digestion

The liver is part of the digestive system. It produces and stores bile in the gallbladder, and for this reason the liver helps in digesting fats in particular. If it is difficult for you to digest fatty foods, you can try to ease your liver workload. It is much better to eat small portions often than to sip large portions at once. By doing this, the liver is not overloaded and is able to function more efficiently. Adding lemon juice to foods also helps in digesting fats.

Constipation, for example, can also be associated with poor liver function or poor liver function.

Irregular periods

As we said earlier, the liver is closely related to the blood. It should come as no surprise, then, that a poor liver is also associated with many menstrual disorders, such as cramps, PMS symptoms, irregular circulation, and the like.

Abdominal pain

As a result of indigestion, we may experience various symptoms such as pain, swelling, or pressure in the abdomen, which is recognized by pain in the ribs, on the right side. When the liver is inflamed, it is swollen and presses on the area around it, causing those symptoms.

Migraines

Migraines can be caused by many different things, but sometimes migraines, and especially the recurrent one, can be related to digestive problems and an overworked liver. In this case, a migraine usually appears either during menstruation or when you have eaten or drunk too much or if you have been exposed to toxins such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, etc. These migraines are caused when an already overworked liver tries to remove toxins from the body.

Seasonal fatigue

In the spring and fall, we may feel more tired than usual, and coping with the day may require more effort than normal. If this happens at times of change of seasons, you may want to support your liver function with some natural treatments or green juices.
