Is Bloating a Sign That Your Liver Needs Support?

Written By Sarah Turton

Do you feel puffy, bloated, or tired after eating? Your liver might be asking for help.
In herbal medicine, the liver is not just about detox — it’s a key player in mood, digestion, hormones, and skin health.

Bloating often shows up when liver energy is “stuck.” You might also notice:

  • A bitter taste in your mouth

  • Irritability or frustration

  • Skin breakouts or itchiness

Herbs like dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), artichoke leaf (Cynara scolymus), and cleavers (Galium aparine) can help relieve this by gently moving bile, easing digestive burden, and cooling internal heat.

Don’t reach for a quick fix — your body is sending you a message. If bloating is regular for you, we can work together to restore flow and function from the inside out.

Book a consultation to find out if your liver terrain needs support — your digestion, skin and energy will thank you.
