What Can Be Done to Relieve Cirrhosis Induced Itching?

Posted By Soilsister (Sacramento, California) on 09/22/2017

Any suggestions to deal with the itching caused by liver cirrhosis? I am told they feel it is because bile is not flowing as freely as it should through the liver?

You might look into castor oil packs over the liver.

Also, internal use of turmeric often helps with itching from a variety of causes.

Baking soda baths (1 cup per bath) are also helpful for some types of itching.
