Is this what happens when spleen deficiency causes big eye bags and kidney deficiency causes dark eye circles?

Frequent bags under the eyes and dark circles are not as simple as not sleeping well. Large bags under the eyes may be caused by spleen deficiency, while dark circles under the eyes may be caused by kidney deficiency! So what is going on? Let’s take a look together!

The spleen and stomach are responsible for transporting and transforming water and food. The function of the spleen and stomach directly affects muscle function and the metabolism of body fat. If the spleen and stomach function is weakened, water and moisture cannot be transported smoothly, the skin and muscles lack nutrition, become loose and inelastic, and over time the eyelids will droop and bags under the eyes will form.

When the bags under the eyes are large, you may need to be cautious about whether you have spleen deficiency. Improving spleen and stomach function can help eliminate bags under the eyes.

2. Dark eye bags are caused by kidney deficiency

According to Chinese medical theory, the kidney governs water and its color is black. Kidney deficiency can lead to water metabolism disorders. Insufficient kidney qi over time can lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, and the eyes will not be nourished, resulting in dark circles, which are mostly manifested on the lower eyelids. Therefore, when the eye bags are dark and do not fade for a long time, you should be alert to whether you have kidney deficiency.

You can choose Chinese medicinal materials such as salvia miltiorrhiza, moutan bark, yam, codonopsis, astragalus, etc. instead of tea. They can not only nourish the kidneys, but also nourish the body and eliminate various diseases.

In addition, people with dark circles can also perform eye massage, gently massage around the eyes in a certain direction, just a few times a day will be enough, can promote local blood circulation and metabolism, let the dark circles slowly dissipate, be careful not to use too much force.
