Dark circles are very harmful to our beauty, and not only that, they will also cause a burden on our eye skin.
What is the dark circles?
Dark circles are dark blue around the orbit or under the eyelids, and their pathogenesis can be roughly divided into two categories: one is mainly blood stasis, and the other is mainly deficiency.
Dark circles dominated by blood stasis
Dark circles dominated by blood stasis are mostly due to liver and spleen disorders. In the five internal organs, the liver governs the catharsis, while the spleen governs the transport and transformation. The catharsis is to evacuate the qi and blood of the body, and the transport and transformation is to loosen the qi without hardening. It can be seen that the coordination of the liver and the spleen can cooperate to complete the work and ensure the smoothness of qi and blood in the body.
The yam and jujube in the first prescription are both drugs for strengthening the spleen, and Angelica sinensis can nourish and soothe the liver, so that the liver and spleen can be taken care of together, but the dredging power of this prescription is weak, such as adding drugs for promoting qi circulation and activating blood such as Radix Curcumae and Semen Persicae, which has a better effect.
Dark circles with kidney deficiency
The second kind of dark circles is mainly caused by kidney deficiency, which leads to deficiency of qi and blood, and black appears around the eyes due to the loss of normal qi and blood nourishment, which may be caused by overwork and improper living.
After the weakness of qi and blood, it gradually fails to operate smoothly, forming a state of deficiency in blood stasis over time. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, the second prescription, has the function of nourishing liver and kidney, lotus root has the function of cooling blood and removing blood stasis, and Spatholobus Spatholobus has the function of promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, which is also complementary and has a certain improvement effect on dark circles. However, long-term use of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb may lead to liver function damage, and its kidney-tonifying effect is not as good as that of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, so it can be considered to replace it.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment method eliminates dark circles.
1, people with kidney qi deficiency can take Guifu Dihuang Pill.
2. People with spleen deficiency can take Guipi Pill or Buzhong Yiqi Pill.
3. Those who are in a bad mood can take Xiaoyao San.
4, in addition, you can also take some vitamins, such as vitamin C and vitamin E.
Chinese medicine teaches you how to get rid of dark circles.
First, Chinese medicine tonifies the kidney
TCM conditioning mainly focuses on nourishing liver and kidney, relieving depression and improving eyesight. People with kidney yin deficiency can take Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Zhibai Dihuang Decoction and Gouju Dihuang Pill. Those with deficiency of kidney-yang should take Guifu Dihuang Pill to warm up.
Second, diet therapy
Sesame, peanuts, soybeans, carrots, chicken liver, pig liver and other foods contain a lot of vitamin A, which helps to eliminate dark circles. In addition, wolfberry and red dates can also be used to process wolfberry tea.
Third, eye massage
1, bamboo (slightly shallow depression between brows): Press the acupoints on both sides with your thumb, and the massage technique is a bit like pushing two acupoints together.
2. Silk and bamboo hollow (slightly concave part at the end of eyebrows): Push and knead slowly and gently with the middle finger or forefinger.
3, the sun (the line between the eyebrows and the outer eyeliner is outward 1 cm): press the acupuncture point with the middle finger and gently push it to the center of the face. You can also apply eye massage cream or eye nutrition cream to the skin around the eyes, and press the tail of the eye, the back of the ball (inside and outside the lower orbit 1/3), the four whites (inside and outside the lower orbit 1/3), the eyes (inside and above the inner canthus), the fish's waist (in the middle of the eyebrow) and the incense (welcome) with the ring finger.
Put the middle finger on the upper eyelid and the ring finger on the lower eyelid, and gently pull and massage from the inner canthus to the outer canthus for 10 times. Then flick the fingertips of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger for 3 ~ 5 times.
Daily method of removing dark circles
1. Apply hot towel to eyes
This method is one of my usual methods. If you get up every morning and see that your dark circles are particularly heavy, you can apply a hot towel to your eyes for about ten minutes, and the dark circles will be obviously relieved. At this time, you can put on makeup again.
Step 2 apply cucumber slices to the eyes
At ordinary times, we always keep a few cucumbers at home, which can be used for cooking and beauty. The important point is that cucumbers can relieve our dark circles. After washing cucumbers, slice them. Here, I suggest that you cut them thinly, so that they will be more docile, and you will not easily fall off when you stick them to your eyes or face.
Some people don't want to use the method of drug treatment, because after all, drugs are three-thirds toxic, so they choose the eye mask:
3. potato eye mask
Mash potatoes and apply them to the skin around the eyes, or stick potato chips around the eyes. About 15 minutes each time,1~ 2 times a week.
4. Tea eye mask
Soak two tea bags (except black tea) in cold water, close your eyes, apply the wet tea bags to your eyes, and take them off after 15 minutes.
Both methods are effective, but Xiao Bian suggested that they should be used together. Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate your body from the inside, and then make dark circles never come back, but it takes a long time to eliminate them. The external application method is only a temporary solution, but the physical condition is still not good. Even if the dark circles are eliminated, it will definitely reappear on your face in a short time.
There are many reasons for dark circles. It is clear to everyone through the introduction given by the above small series. In fact, there are many ways to remove dark circles. If you have friends with dark circles, you may wish to try Chinese medicine to alleviate and remove dark circles. If you persist for a while, you will receive unexpected results.
