Which meridian is blocked due to eye bags?

When women reach a certain age, especially between 30 and 40 years old, their facial skin will age, and fine lines, dry lines and bags under the eyes will appear around the eyes. However, not all women are like this. Some people have blocked meridians and are prone to bags under their eyes. This is because the meridians of the whole body are related to the eyes. If the meridians are blocked, it will be very bad for the eyes. Therefore, it is necessary to check which meridian is blocked and then solve the problem accordingly. Here I will introduce to you which meridian is blocked which causes eye bags.

01 Internal organs

The spleen governs the eye cells and muscles

"Lingshu Dahuo Lun" said: "The essence of muscles is restraint", which means that the essence of the spleen rises and gathers into eye cells.

The spleen controls the muscles that can control the up, down, left and right movements of the eyes, allowing the eyes to flexibly see the different forms of everything and quickly capture effective information.

Eyelids are what we usually call eyelids. Stye (commonly known as stye), chalazion, inverted eyelashes (eyelashes standing upside down, stabbing eye pain), etc. are diseases that grow on the eyelids.

The eyelids and the areas above and below the eyelids are controlled by the spleen. Therefore, almost all diseases on the eyelids can be treated from the perspective of the spleen.

We know that the spleen (stomach) is the acquired sea, and the normal functioning of the five internal organs depends entirely on the smooth flow of stomach qi.

Almost all the meridians in the body are connected to the eyes. There are several meridians passing through the head and face, and the eyes are almost a must-pass place. For example, the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand, the Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian of the Foot, the Small Intestine Meridian of the Hand, the Bladder Meridian of the Foot, the Yangming Stomach Meridian of the Foot, the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian of the Hand, etc., all pass through the eyes.

Among them, the meridians running below the eye sockets are mainly the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, which intersect at the Yingxiang point near the nose.

The main acupoints under the eye sockets include Chengqi, Sibai, Juliao and Dicang, all of which are directly below the pupil and belong to the stomach meridian. Therefore, the occurrence of bags under the eyes is also mainly related to the stomach meridian.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the presence or absence of eye bags and changes in the color of eye bags indicate physical problems.

The formation of bags under the eyes is mainly due to problems with the spleen and stomach. Heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, spleen and stomach yang deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, etc. can all lead to the formation of bags under the eyes.

It can also be seen from the ancient texts above that when treating the problem of eye bags, the ancients might choose traumatic methods to remove eye bags for obvious eye bags, using both internal and external treatments.

Modern medical cosmetology also often uses surgery to remove fat from eye bags to achieve a cosmetic effect. One is the external incision method and the other is the internal incision method, depending on the specific situation. This is a crude and simplistic solution.

In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, eye bags are also the location of the kidneys. We often see that at first glance, some people have dark bags under their eyes, which actually means that their kidneys are damaged.

If the eye bags are very bulging, we can also regard it as edema, which means that the water in the body is not being transported well and there is water accumulation.

If there are no big eye bags, but there is dark red in that position, we know that red is the heart, which belongs to fire. This is the position of the kidney, but it shows red, the color of the heart. What is the problem?

Because water controls fire, and the kidney disease is too severe, the kidney controls the heart, so the color of the conquered one appears like a robber. This is a sick color. This is kidney disease, and these are the conditions we can see through observation.
