Baggy Eyes
Hi,
I've always had a
problem with black baggy circles appearing underneath my eye and no matter how much I sleep I still get them. Does
anyone know of any things that can help me get rid of them? I've tried cucumber treatment, drinking a lot of water,
sleeping with a higher pillow but they still appear. Any ideas?

Does that mean you can use
Visine in your butt? I know you can use cucumbers there.
In Chinese medicine, eyes represent kidney and
pancreatic function. They also can show allergies and food sensitivities, as well as microbial imbalances. So that
should be enough for you to investigate for a while. I believe they are your most likely culprits.

Use butcher's broom. It is a root
that comes in little capsules. 500 mg, take 2. It will strenghen the capilaries and keep them from
bursting.
You can also use witch hazel. The pads that you do use for hermoroids (which are basically very
similar to puffy eyes) are usually 50 percent witch hazel (it will say), and you can use that to wipe under your
eyes.
There's some kidney related stuff, but if it is chronic in you, my guess it is not jus some imbalance
or food sensitivity. But you can use some sea salt or whatever to help your kidney if the above stuff doesn't
work.

Dark circles indicate kidney, adrenal, and pancreatic
deficiencies (along with possible allergies and food sensitivities.)
No topical remedies have ever worked for
me. Period. I highly recommend acupuncture.
The bagginess is often indicative of allergies.

kinfe if i were you.
Listen to me and Holmes,
except for the Visine part. Don't spend too much time or money on the topical stuff. This has to do with the rest
of your body.
Possible and common microbial problems, for example, include most prominently candida. These would
be the more fundamental conditions if acute, and might require things like probiotics, garlic and oregano oil. A
nutritional/suppplement approach works here.
Kidney "Chi" and Pancreas Chi are related, in that one supports the
other one when taxed. A good acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist can help you with that. Common stuff.
Wheat/dairy
food allergies/sensitivities are common examples in that category. You could try giving these up for a week and see
if it helps. Regular allergies (e.g., dust, mold) could cause this too, with concomitant adrenal strain. Stress can
also cause adrenal strain, as can excessive ejaculation.
You should be able to treat this just fine of you
explore all our suggestions.

Geez!
Really? I have bags under my eyes sometimes and am not the least
bit fat. In some cases that is true. Age also contributes, as do medical conditions and heridity. They'd be a lot
better off getting the opinion of a medical professional because it can indicate a serious problem.
Well I don't think its a medical
condition because I had it since I was a little kid and my father also has dark baggy eyes so I thought it was just
genetics.

Drsmellthis has a good point. Would there be any harm in asking a doctor?
You eliminate one possibility and he/she may have some suggestions based on medical facts even if it is not a
problem. I've always found that getting expert advice first is the best course.
It is, but in many cases medical doctor
does not equal expert. Many simply do not believe in acupuncture and other "holistic" forms of treatment. Sad but
true.
Find a good naturopath.

Both approaches have their strong points and
should be included. An MD or a naturopath mean little unless they take the trouble to do their job correctly. Fools
and charlatens in every field. I assume a person makes a point to find somebody competent.
Try butcher's broom and see if it
works.
If you have poor circulation (extremities get cold) then it should work for you.
I agree. Explore all avenues. I was just
saying that, in my experience, I've found even the most advanced and experimental mainstream practitioners to be
shockingly closed-minded to treatments which, while outside the box, might actually improve and even save lives.
That might have to do with locale, though. Integrative medicine is more commonly accepted on the West
Coast.

Unless you have other
symptoms, baggy eyes is the type of thing alternative care does better than allopathic care, IMHO. That is not to
say you don't see what a western physician has to say.

Yah I plan to see my doctor about it
next week and see what he has to say.
Thyroid problems are another
possibility, but more women get those.

Why don't you go to 'Beauty
Spa' and try the 'soft laser facial treatment' on your eyes. It tightens the skin as well as reduces the bags
under the eyes. It's about $100-$150 per treatment depending on which spa you go to. You'll look like new after
a set of 10-treatment sessions. They mostly come in 10 sessions - one per week.
