<p>Hi Chava,</p>
<p>I have a similar thing and have had it since at least my teens. Diet can definitely help. In Chinese medicine under the eyes indicate stress to liver and kidneys. I have more puffiness than pigmentation which points me in the direction of taking good care of my kidneys which results in a better looking under eye area. I do this through a clean diet and avoiding caffeine.</p>
<p>The liver is also indicated for this area but I don't feel in my case…</p>

<p>Hi Chava,</p>
<p>I have a similar thing and have had it since at least my teens. Diet can definitely help. In Chinese medicine under the eyes indicate stress to liver and kidneys. I have more puffiness than pigmentation which points me in the direction of taking good care of my kidneys which results in a better looking under eye area. I do this through a clean diet and avoiding caffeine.</p>
<p>The liver is also indicated for this area but I don't feel in my case it was the unhappy organ. Do you think it may be for you? The liver's job is pretty much to detoxify poisons. These can be from environment, drugs (prescribed, over the counter and recreational), chemicals in foods, alcohol,..the list goes on.</p>
<p>I'm sure there are herbs you can add to help support the kidneys and/or liver.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I've had really good success making this area look so much better and then just recently I started on the caffeine again and it's getting puffy and very obviously bags as you said.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p> SATORI's POST

<p>Hi Chava,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very good question and it's something most of us come across from time to time.</p>
<p>It sometimes makes you look like you are tired even though when you're not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the books I checked out is <strong>"<span>Eating for Beauty</span>" by David Wolfe</strong>.</p>

<p>Hi Chava,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very good question and it's something most of us come across from time to time.</p>
<p>It sometimes makes you look like you are tired even though when you're not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the books I checked out is <strong>"<span>Eating for Beauty</span>" by David Wolfe</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's what it said on this subject:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>"Dark circles under the eyes are related to having an exhausted adrenal system. Coffee contributes to this, as do other stimulants, such as refined sugar (soda, candy), cigarettes, and recreational drugs. Dark circles may also be cause by a potassium overdose (eating too many foods high in potassium such as bananas, dried fruit, avocados, durian, nuts, and sprouts)."</strong></em></p>
<p>Mune's note: even though these are actually good for the body, too much of these foods can make you unbalanced as well creating these circles.</p>
<p><em><strong>Wolfe says "Dark circles can be corrected by eating foods high in organic sodium such as celery, chard, kale, spinach, olives, and unwashed sea vegetables (kelp, nori, dulce) and by using Celtic sea salt.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Cucumbers and pumpkin seeds may also be effective in alleviating this condition."</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eye Puffiness -</p>
<p>From Wolfe - this is apposite from top</p>
<p><em><strong>"Puffiness under the eyes is often caused by too much sodium in the body. This causes the body to retain water. To correct this, eat more high-potassium foods such as bananas, dried fruits, avocadoes, durian, nuts, and sprouts. Also, remove salt from the diet, Fennel essential oil diluted in cacao butter or coconut oil (virgin brand, organic) rubbed into the areas under the eyes can do wonders."</strong></em></p>
<p>Mune's note; Also drinking water in both conditions can do wonders to improve it. Consume more spring water not tap water, do the best you can with filtration, get MMS if you can, drink about 1.5 liter of water a day, start small and increase to a comfortable level.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span>Dark circles, too much potassium need more natural sodium in the body.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span>Puffy eyes, too much processed salt need more natural potassium in the body.</span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our kidneys are the buffers and because of our diets that are high in processed food, unrefined sugars and salts, this creates an in balance that shows on our face.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also agree with Kim Mac Donald, there needs to be a liver and kidney cleanse, great book(s) to consult is one that's posted on this site recently, here's the link:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Hope this helps you out Chava; Here is a juice recipe from the book above</p>
<p><br/><strong><span>Dark Circle be gone! Juice ;-)</span></strong></p>
<p>2-3 Stalks of celery</p>
<p>1 large cucumber, or 2 small</p>
<p>one apple</p>
<p><strong>process through juicer, or blend with water and strain out</strong></p>
<p><strong>*prefer juicer to get more nutrients but do what you can for now.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This will bring your natural sodium back and balance out your potasium in your body</p>
<p>that's creating the dark circles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Make this drink as many times as you can during the week and see if you notice a difference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good Luck Chava</p>
