Dark Circles under Eyes

Nothing can be done to improve dark circles under the eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes have always been considered a sign of late nights and lack of sleep. The cause of these dark circles is often blamed on stress, too much sun, too little sleep, menstrual disorders, kidney dysfunction and even too many fried, frozen and canned foods, although it is often a hereditary trait. Circles under the eyes can worsen in people who smoke or suffer from allergies.

In western medicine, the kidneys are connected to the adrenal glands and with stress levels in life being so high, these glands are very often exhausted. When these glands are weakened, allergies are prevalent. Dark circles under the eyes are known to be a classic symptom of an allergy, together with a host of other signs including edema and fatigue. It may help to meet with a nutritionist/allergist to rule out foods and allergens that may be contributing to this condition.

According to Chinese Medicine, dark circles under the eyes relate to our kidneys, which are seen as the foundation of our vitality. Sufficient sleep is one of the simplest home remedies recommended.

"After years of searching for the perfect eye cream, I have finally found it. Purple Gold doesn't burn my eyes like everything else I've tried, and since using it the skin around my eyes has become soft and supple just like when I was in my 20s - no puffiness, lines or dark circles. I couldn't be happier."
