To know if your internal organs are infected, just look at your feet. If there are 3 signs, you need to go to the emergency room | May 17, 2025

The idea that certain signs on your feet can indicate internal organ infections is a concept rooted in traditional medicine, particularly Oriental practices. While these signs may be associated with specific health conditions, it’s important to approach them with caution and consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

1. Swollen Feet: Potential Indicators

Swelling in the feet can be linked to several health issues:

• Heart Failure: When the heart’s ability to pump blood is compromised, fluid can accumulate in the lower extremities.
• Kidney Disease: Impaired kidney function may lead to fluid retention, causing swelling.
• Liver Cirrhosis: Severe liver damage can result in fluid buildup in the legs.

If you notice persistent swelling, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation.

2. Yellowing of the Feet (Jaundice)

A yellowish tint to the skin on your feet may indicate jaundice, which can be caused by:

• Liver Diseases: Conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis.
• Gallbladder Issues: Such as gallstones or cholecystitis.
• Pancreatic Disorders: Including pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.

Jaundice occurs when there’s an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream, often due to liver dysfunction. A healthcare professional can conduct tests to determine the underlying cause.

3. Pale or White Toenails

Paleness in toenails might suggest:

• Anemia: A condition where there’s a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin.
