What are the ways to treat dark circles under the eyes with traditional Chinese medicine?

Dark circles are unacceptable to everyone, but due to various reasons, dark circles are very common in life. Therefore, the treatment methods for dark circles are very popular. Among these treatment methods, traditional Chinese medicine has also attracted the attention of many people. In fact, Chinese medicine can be very effective in treating dark circles in some cases. To this end, let us learn about the ways in which traditional Chinese medicine can treat dark circles.

TCM tips for treating dark circles: Acupoint massage: Dark circles are caused by poor blood circulation. Acupoint massage helps to unblock the blood vessels; apply eye massage cream or eye nourishing cream on the skin around the eyes. Use your ring finger to press Tongzi Liao (at the end of the eye), Ball Points (1/3 of the middle and outer side of the lower eye socket), Sibai (1/3 of the middle and inner side of the lower eye socket), Jingming (upper inner side of the inner canthus), Yuyao (center of the eyebrow), Yingxiang (outside side of the nose wing). Press each acupoint for 3-5 seconds and then relax. Do this 10 times in a row. Use your middle finger and ring finger (middle finger on the upper eyelid, ring finger on the lower eyelid) to gently pull and massage from the inner canthus to the outer canthus, for 10 consecutive times. Use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers to lightly tap around the eye area, 3-5 times.

In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are other methods to treat dark circles.

1. Apply tea bags to eyes: Use tea bags that have been soaked and the tea juice has been squeezed out for external application.

2. Hot egg massage: Peel the cooked eggs, wrap them in a towel, close your eyes and use the egg to massage around your eyes to speed up blood circulation.

3. Apply apple slices to the eyes: Wash and slice the apples, apply them on the eyes for 15 minutes and then wash off with water. The juicier the apple, the better. 4. Apply potato slices to the eyes: Peel and wash the potatoes (those with sprouts cannot be used), cut into slices about two centimeters thick, apply to the eyes for 5 minutes, and then wash with clean water. While using the above-mentioned TCM methods to treat dark circles, you should also eat more foods rich in vitamin C and less irritating foods in your daily life, which can also help treat dark circles.

Dark circles are a common problem that make people look tired and listless. Many people want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Here are two ways to get rid of dark circles in traditional Chinese medicine:

1. Acupoint massage: Dark circles are caused by poor blood circulation. Acupoint massage helps to open up blood vessels; apply eye massage cream or eye nourishing cream on the skin around the eyes. Use your ring finger to press the Tongzi Liao (at the end of the eye), the ball behind (the middle and outer 1/3 of the lower eye socket), the Sibai (the inner and inner 1/3 of the lower eye socket), the Jingming (the inner and upper part of the inner canthus), the Yuyao (the center of the eyebrow), and the Yingxiang (the outer side of the nose). Press each acupoint for 3-5 seconds and then relax. Do this 10 times in a row. Use your middle finger and ring finger (middle finger on the upper eyelid, ring finger on the lower eyelid) to gently pull and massage from the inner canthus to the outer canthus, for 10 consecutive times. Use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers to lightly tap around the eye area, 3-5 times.

2. Acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture: The Yangming meridian, Taiyang meridian and Shaoyang meridian pass through the area around the eyes. Acupuncture of the corresponding acupoints can dredge the meridians, harmonize qi and blood, regulate the contraction and relaxation of the facial and eye muscles, improve the body's microcirculation, and make the skin tissue produce histamine and ethylene choline to stimulate vasodilation, increase the nutrition of the facial and eye skin, promote the absorption of eye spots, achieve the effect of beauty, and thus play a therapeutic role on dark circles.

At the same time, acupuncture can make the facial skin delicate, rosy and shiny, improve sleep, relieve fatigue, regulate endocrine, and treat irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.

The above is an introduction to the methods of treating dark circles under the eyes using traditional Chinese medicine. It should be pointed out here that the appearance of dark circles is mainly due to lack of sleep. Therefore, if you cannot guarantee sleep, even if Chinese medicine is very effective in treating dark circles, dark circles will remain on your face. In addition, lack of sleep can cause many diseases, so sleep time must be guaranteed.
