If you don't get rid of dark circles for a long time, you may suffer from these 5 diseases

Isn’t it normal to have dark circles under the eyes? Most people think that dark circles are related to insomnia, staying up late, etc. In fact, the appearance of dark circles not only affects your image, but may also be related to the health of various parts of your body. Old Chinese medicine practitioners will tell you that dark circles are closely related to your internal organ diseases, irregular menstruation, kidney deficiency, chronic stomach problems, etc.

1. Dark circles and kidneys - Kidney deficiency

Symptoms: Dull eyes and dark circles under eyes.

Traditional medicine believes that dark circles are caused by kidney deficiency. If the kidney essence is deficient, the eyes will lack the nourishment of essence and the black color of the kidney will float on top, so the eyes will be dull and the eye circles will be dark. If you have an unhealthy lifestyle and excessive sex for a long time, it can easily lead to dark circles under your eyes.

Response: Avoid overwork, don’t stay up late, have a regular life, strengthen your inner cultivation, maintain a happy mood, and avoid drastic changes in emotions. You can eat more foods high in calcium, such as bone soup, or cooling foods or medicines, such as yam, honeysuckle, mung bean, cassia seed, etc.

2. Dark circles and uterus – irregular menstruation

Performance: long-term existence.

For women, if dark circles persist for a long time, it may be caused by dysmenorrhea or irregular menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea are caused by abnormal circulation of Qi and blood due to Qi stagnation and blood stasis as well as cold stagnation. Dark circles are the facial manifestation of abnormal circulation of Qi and blood.

In addition, women with excessive menstrual bleeding or functional uterine bleeding are also prone to dark circles under their eyes.

Response: If menstrual irregularities are causing dark circles, you need to take care of your body.

3. Dark circles and nose - rhinitis

Symptoms: Dark circles under the eyes caused by sneezing.

Dark circles may also be related to nose problems. If you sneeze and have a runny nose every morning when you wake up all year round, you may develop dark circles under your eyes due to increased blood flow near the sinuses under your eyes. So if you suffer from allergic rhinitis, it is unlikely that you will not have dark circles under your eyes.

Response: In addition to actively treating your rhinitis, you also need to pay attention to the following points. Avoid staying in a smoky environment to avoid additional irritation to your nose.

At the same time, be careful not to let cold air irritate the trachea in the morning and evening, which may cause allergic sneezing; don't sneeze too hard, as that will compress the skin's capillaries.

4. Dark circles and liver: liver function decline

Symptoms: Pigmentation on the face and around the eye sockets.

Dark circles are an external manifestation of some chronic diseases, such as chronic liver disease. Especially in those with long-term abnormal liver function and liver enlargement, dark circles often exist for a long time. About 20% of patients with liver disease have pigmentation in exposed areas, such as the face and around the eye sockets, which appear as "dark circles".

Response: The treatment for chronic liver disease is mainly rest and diet therapy. It is necessary to reduce the burden on the liver and at the same time provide adequate nutrition to repair damaged liver cells and restore liver function; consume rich protein to ensure the needs of liver cell repair and regeneration, and it is better to eat more milk, eggs and meat.

In order to meet the needs of glycogen content and its metabolism in liver cells, carbohydrates and vitamins should be adequately supplied; at the same time, a low-fat diet should be adhered to, which will not only reduce the burden on the liver but also help to restore health.

5. Dark circles and stomach – chronic stomach problems

Symptoms: Dark circles will be darker in color, light blue in color, and larger in size.

If patients with chronic gastritis have long-term decreased digestion and absorption functions, gastritis will recur and dark circles under the eyes will worsen. People with neurasthenia and visceral diseases, especially chronic gastrointestinal diseases, may also have dark circles under their eyes.

Response: In addition to treatment, the more important thing for chronic gastrointestinal diseases is to take care of them in daily life. Eat a healthy diet, avoid overeating, and pay attention to food hygiene.
