3. Itching in the palms of the hands or soles of the feet
When the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet are itchy, it can be a sign of liver problems, although this symptoms is sometimes overlooked because it’s lesser known.
When the liver fails to filter toxins properly, which is basically it’s main function in the body, the toxins circulate through the blood and can irritate sensitive areas like the hands and feet. This causes tingling, burning, or fine prickling, especially at night.
It’s not unusual this itching to be accompanied with yellowing of the skin or eyes, fatigue, or a slow appetite and digestion. If you notice this, ask your doctor for a liver enzyme test and cut back on processed foods, alcohol, and heavy fats.
What helps is to staying hydrated, be active, and consult a doctor in case the symptoms won’t go away.
Never ignore itching that lasts long. Always seek medical help if you believe something isn’t right.
