Why does one eye have a bag?

Love of beauty is a woman's nature. No one wants to go to work with heavy bags under their eyes. In addition, when taking the bus or subway, it is inevitable that people will see you. It will be very embarrassing to meet acquaintances and see your big bags under your eyes. Some women have bags under both eyes, while others only have bags under one eye. In fact, for this phenomenon of bags under the eyes, we should first find out the cause and then treat it.

What causes heavy eye bags in women?

1. Weak spleen and stomach function

In traditional Chinese medicine, the reason why we have bags under our eyes is directly related to the spleen in our body. Our spleen and stomach are responsible for transportation and transformation. The food and water that enter our body must go through the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and then be transported to various parts of our body for metabolism. The functions of the spleen and stomach are related to our muscle function and fat metabolism function. However, when our spleen and stomach functions weaken, the ability to transport water and moisture becomes weaker, then our skin and muscles will lack nutrition and lose elasticity, and bags under the eyes will appear over time.

2. Lack of sleep

As we all know, long-term lack of sleep will cause bags under our eyes. This is also the reason why our eyelids will be swollen the next day if we don’t get a good rest the night before. In addition, people who often sleep on their side or stomach are also prone to eye bags. This is because at night when water is transported, it is generally affected by gravity and transported downward. Therefore, over time, water will accumulate in the lower parts of the body.

3. Body edema

Generally, women with edema are more likely to have bags under their eyes. This is because too much water accumulates in the body, and when we sleep, this water lingers around our eyes, so when we wake up in the morning, we will find that we have bags under our eyes. This situation is usually caused by drinking a lot of water before going to bed, eating a heavy meal, or being in the menstrual period.

4. Eyes begin to age

Once a person's eyes begin to age, thick eye bags are likely to appear. When the human body ages, the area around the eyes begins to age, and our eyelids tend to droop, giving people a feeling of lack of energy and old age.
