How are our dark circles?

First of all, we need to look at our dark circles and find out if they are caused by a swelling problem or if they have a dark tone instead.

This will determine what treatment we need to take and which organ we need to take care of the most. But there are also remedies for all types of dark circles, which we will tell you about at the end of this article.

It is also necessary to determine if these dark circles are present in a permanent way or on particular days, after having made excess for example.

Watch when they appear to help prevent and treat them properly.

Swollen dark circles

If your dark circles appear swollen, and this swelling even affects the eyelids, it is surely a problem of fluid retention and therefore a malfunction of the kidneys.

• They can be occasional, after a meal consisting of sweet foods, or chronic, due to renal fragility.

If you press on your dark circles, you will be able to see that they are soaked with water, as they quickly deflate and re-inflate.

Kidney treatment

To reduce swollen dark circles and improve kidney function, follow these steps:

• Externally, apply small green tea bags that have already been used, and that you can keep in the freezer to also benefit from the benefits of the cold.
  Rest for a while with your eyes closed and the pouches on.
• You can apply raw potato or cucumber slices to achieve the same effect.
• Internally, you need to drink more water, at least a liter and a half a day, on an empty stomach and outside of meals.
• To improve kidney function, also take vegetable and celery broths, as well as dandelion and star anise infusions.
• If you experience discomfort in the lumbar region, apply heat locally for half an hour each night before bed, with an electric mat or hot water bottle.

Dark circles

The other type of dark circles that we can have are black spots, with bluish tones, brown or even black, which informs us of a problem with the liver or gallbladder.

These dark circles can be concealed with a little makeup, but the health problem is not resolved.

Treatment for the liver

To improve the function of your liver and gallbladder, follow these tips:

• Start the day by taking a glass of lukewarm water with the juice of half a lemon.
• Avoid consuming unhealthy fats, such as fried foods, industrial pastries, margarine, cold cuts etc.
• Dine early and light.
• Eliminate white sugar from your diet and replace it with bee honey, molasses, stevia, agave syrup etc.
• Avoid toxic habits like tobacco or alcohol.
• Before going to bed, take an infusion of bitter medicinal plants (artichoke, boldo, dandelion, milk thistle).
  You can also take these herbs as a supplement.
• Every evening, apply a few drops of rosehip oil, which is antioxidant and regenerating, and gently massage the area.

Other remedies

Some ancient natural remedies can be very good at reducing dark circles. For those which swell as for those which darken the area:

• After washing your face, and before putting on moisturizer, apply a facial lotion made with rosemary, rose or witch hazel.
• Pay attention to your eye area: use sunscreen and sunglasses.
• We recommend that you learn some simple self-facial massage techniques.
• Always sleep with a good pillow, so this position helps prevent fluid retention in the face.
• Conversely, during the day, it is good to put yourself in the reverse position. This will facilitate blood flow to the head.
