14 Signs Your Liver Is Causing Problems

Is your liver functioning properly? You might be surprised to find out it is not. There is a bit of an “epidemic” of unrecognized liver problems these days. It may be more common than you think. You can heal your liver with homeopathy.

What Causes Liver Problems?

It can be totally an organic problem, but it is also a lifestyle issue. Too much work, too many pharmaceuticals, too many OTC’s, too much alcohol, too much sugar, etc., can also cause a liver disturbance. And it doesn’t necessarily heal itself when you change your lifestyle. Sadly, Western Medicine has little to offer.

Since the liver helps clean your blood (40% of your blood is in your liver at any given moment), aids in digestion, stores energy (Glycogen) and has a role in blood clotting, it is important that you keep it as healthy as possible. You can heal your liver with homeopathy and get it functioning properly.

Fortunately, homeopathy has been helping liver problems back since the time of Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of the principals of homeopathy. A contemporary of his, Dr. Johann Rademacher, was an expert at treating organs, and his methods are still available to homeopaths, which means you can still benefit from his expertise, as well as that of Dr. James Compton Burnett, who practiced homeopathic medicine a bit later in England.

Primary Physical Signs

How do you know if your liver is functioning properly?

Take a look these signs and symptoms below. These are the ones that are really obvious and if you went to the doctor with a combination of these symptoms, they would take note.

Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
Stool is either pale or light colored or you have yellow diarrhea. You may experience this in an acute situation, especially the yellow diarrhea, but if it is combined with other symptoms, take note.
Urine is darkly colored.
You experience pain or pressure at the bottom of your right ribcage. If you lie on your left side, it feels like it is dragging down or like a heavy weight.
Chilliness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver is one of your heat sources. If your liver isn’t functioning properly, you may feel chilly.

Secondary Physical Symptoms

These symptoms may indicate Liver disturbance, or they may not. But if you are finding you have several of them, complete this Organ Questionnaire and we can discuss this further.

Skin symptoms include liver spots (yes, they are real), eczema, psoriasis, acne rosacea, cellulite, lipomas (fatty lumps under the skin), easy facial flushing, excessive blood vessels in your face or on your nose.
Digestion issues that indicate a liver problem include yellow coating on the tongue, bad breath (you thought you just needed to brush your tongue) slow to develop and resolve migraine headaches, constipation, poor appetite in the mornings, craving sweets, worse from alcohol, aggravated by eating fat, and diarrhea from rich foods.
Circulatory symptoms include hemorrhoids and varicose veins.
Body shape consists of a roll of fat around the upper abdomen, and/or swelling (bags) under the eyes just above the boney orbit of your eye socket that are darkly colored.
Sensory Symptoms include Tinnitus, and floaters in the field of vision.

Mental and Emotional Symptoms

It is hard to believe that your liver can affect your outlook on life. But anger has long been associated with the liver, as well as other signs and symptoms.

The Liver is the locus of the will. If there is a disturbance, you will find that your ability to choose or act on your own accord will be functioning improperly. You may see either Hyper willfulness, which could be seen as domineering or Hypo willfulness which could appear as indecision or lack of will power, such as in the phrase lily-livered used since the late 1500’s to describe a weak person.
Conflict and aggression aggravate a person who has liver problems. This could also be true for people who initiate the conflict with others. Conflict directed at them, or among others, causes them great distress.
Anger is a well known symptom of a liver problem. It can be accompanied with irritability, mood disturbances, depression, poor concentration, brain fog, especially in the morning.
Sleep is also affected by the liver. People who have liver problems wake up feeling unrefreshed and unrested.

Meet Kathryn Berg the Classical Homeopath at Lotus Homeopathy, Inc.

Some of you know me, others of you may have heard of me. And for most, you probably have no clue about me or my business. So I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself, my family, my business, why I am a homeopath and how I became a homeopath—not necessarily in that order.

Like many people, I found out about homeopathy accidentally. I fell down while walking my Akita pup on an icy sidewalk on a typical Minnesota winter day. I was scheduled to go to a friend’s house later that day, so when I did, I asked her for some ice. You need some Arnica, she told me. Arnica? What’s that? She explained that Arnica is a homeopathic remedy for trauma.

At the time, the only place to get homeopathic remedies was a book and herb store in South Minneapolis. So I went there to get some. When I got there, I decided I should read some books so I actually knew what I was doing. I left with the Arnica 30c and three books. By the time I got done reading them, I knew I wanted to be a homeopath.

It was only several years later that I realized that I was attracted to homeopathy as a profession because I am a problem solver. It is what drives me. There is nothing like a well chosen homeopathic remedy to solve problems.

At the time I decided to become a homeopath, there wasn’t even a school here in in Minnesota. But eventually, my homeopath and his business partner started the Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy. I was a graduate of the third class. At the time I went there, it was a part time program taking three and a half years! Since then I have studied with numerous other well known and respected homeopaths in continuing education studies.

While I do work with all sorts of folks with a variety of conditions, I really have studied how to treat people suffering from PTSD, health issues related to aging women, and children’s health issues of all sorts, including autism. I have also been successful in removing blockages to healing due to suppression of symptoms by western medicine. I chose those specialties because people really suffer who have those forms of dis-ease, and Western Medicine doesn’t seem to have much of a solution for them.

After over twenty years of practice, I still get excited for clients when a remedy has helped them heal.

So that is about my business. Now, a little bit about me.

I have two adult sons in their early twenties, so I have shed the title of “Soccer mom”. My husband and I are empty nesters living in Woodbury, MN. For fun, I like to play piano, sing, sew, garden, hike, and travel. I am in a community choir. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals and, out of necessity, am an expert at cooking for special diets.
