adipose bags under the eyes

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Your feedback is appreciated for the following patient: Female, thin, age 30

with bags (not black) under her eyes. The bags appear to be adipose and not

water. Pulse, primarily slippery but a little tready, not particularly weak, nor

wiry. Tongue moist, light red body, thin white coat, otherwise not particularly

remarkable. Unfortunately, the patient is now out of town in a cold climate, and

is involved in a doctoral program where she gets little sun nor exercise. She is

not interested in taking herbs, nor acupuncture, and at least for now, is only

interested in dietary suggestions and modifications. So far I have suggested the

following: eliminate dairy, refined sugar and wheat (which are common allergens

and were mainstays of her diet) add Essential Fatty Acids in the form of

refrigerated Cod liver oil (because no sunlight, no vitamin D) and have at least

one avocado daily, and please a teabag over each eye for 15 minutes nightly. Two

thoughts I had: she is under a lot

of stress and is up well past 1:00 am

nightly. The eyes are related to the liver and liver time is between 1 and 3 am.

Could that be contributing? Second, as I mentioned the bags are not fluid,

they're fat. What is the mechanism that would cause fat to accumulate around the

eyes of all places?

If needles and herbs and exercise are out, inquire about seeds for the

ears/points, recommend meditation to overcome stress, and curtail eating earlier

in the day, perhaps even avoiding food after dark. If she had no full meals

after 1pm, I would expect to see improvement.
