2) Chinese Medicine for Dark Circles
Traditional Chinese Medicine says that when the Kidney Qi (chi) begins to weaken, there will be the formation of bags under the eyes and dark circles under the eyes. When the Kidney Qi is weak, one can experience problems with sexuality, fertility, urinating and metabolizing water. In more intense cases, one can develop excessive fear and phobias. When one ages, Kidney Qi will decrease. This can be accompanied by hearing loss and ringing in the ears. When Menopause occurs, the Kidney yin diminishes and this is related to typical indications of heat and dryness in the body causing dry mucous membranes and skin, night sweats and hot flashes. The formula Shen Shen Qi Wan is good for strengthening Kidney Qi. It is best to consult with a traditional Chinese herbalist as the formulas for a specific malady can change from person to person.
