Dark circles under the eyes are a sign that your liver or kidneys are carrying a toxic load. You've heard of eyes being referred to as " windows to your soul " ? Well, think of your dark under eye circles as " windows to your filtration system " . Drink lots of water(8-10 glasses for an adult) and make sure your body is eliminating wastes properly on a daily basis. It speeds up circulation and all functions of the body work much better with plenty of water. Do light facial massage to bring blood circulation to the face and eye area. This also helps to move toxin along and out of the body. Certain nutritition helps improved skin textures and sometimes brighter looking eyes sometimes. These include flavonoids, found in hesperidin, rose hips, vitamin F, bee pollen, royal jelly, vitamin B5 panthenol (or pantothenic acid), gingko, chitosan, inositol B8, oatmeal (high in silicon), and most importantly vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate, which is an alkaline form of vitamin C. These all will help repair damage tissues and reduce allergies. Gingko helps with microcirculation and thus repair. Eat a well balanced diet of veggies and fruits with lots of fiber. Get 7-8 hrs of sleep at least per night and more for children. This I found very interesting and I am going to use my stainless steel pot to boil water in from now on. Boiling that water in the old teapot, creates more free radical metals, which could be tin, iron, etc. An easy way to tell is to get a laser pointer and look at the lights passing through it. If you can see it, more clearly after you boil it, then that is the source of heavy metals which of course might be free radical metals and cause dark circles under they eyes, because that is a sensitive part of your body and the skin is already thin. Replace any rusty facets and copper pipes. Use 2 T. of Black Strap Molasses daily. Read more about all the things it helps with, including dark under eye areas.. http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/molasses.html Too much sun can also cause under eye circles. One additional cause is bone structure: persons with deep set eyes sometimes appear to have shadows under their eyes. An overproduction of melanin can also cause dark shadows under the eyes Here is a great article on dark circles. Well worth the read. http://au.answers./question/index?qid=20070525051753AAxBjb8 Hope these ideas help you. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
