Sign #5: Itchy Skin
It is not unusual for us to have itchy skin. It might be caused by something harmless, like clothing that has been irritating you. It could also be caused by something more serious, though, and should not be treated with complacency. If you do have itchy skin and you don’t know why, you should try and find out the cause.
The liver usually does a good job of helping to keep the blood clean. If there is a problem, though, then it can no longer do this effectively. This means impurities and toxins flowing through the blood, as well as bilirubin, and this can cause the skin to become itchy.
