How to treat spleen deficiency and eye bags? Pay attention to diet and nutrition

Improving spleen and stomach function can help eliminate bags under the eyes. In addition, Chinese medicine theory suggests that the kidney governs water, and its color is black.

How to treat eye bags caused by spleen deficiency

Everyone's body will have some other conditions to a certain extent. Some people may take it seriously and see a doctor, but some people do not take it seriously or use some daily methods to alleviate it. For example, the problem of bags under the eyes. Many people may think that they just need more rest or apply some eye cream to solve it. Of course, these may be effective, but have you ever thought that the appearance of bags under the eyes may be caused by other "diseases", so to eliminate bags under the eyes, you need to find the "root cause" first.

There is a saying that spleen deficiency causes big eye bags, and kidney deficiency causes dark eye bags. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of eye bags is directly related to the function of the spleen. The spleen and stomach are responsible for transporting and transforming water and grain. The function of the spleen and stomach directly affects muscle function and the metabolism of body fat. If the spleen and stomach function is weakened, water and moisture will not be transported smoothly, the skin and muscles will lack nutrition, become loose and inelastic, and over time, the eyelids will droop and eye bags will form. Therefore, improving spleen and stomach function can help eliminate bags under the eyes. In addition, Chinese medicine theory suggests that the kidney governs water, and its color is black. Kidney deficiency leads to water metabolism disorders. Insufficient kidney qi over time leads to poor circulation of qi and blood, and the eyes are deprived of nourishment, which causes dark circles, mostly on the lower eyelids.

Therefore, in order to remove eye bags and dark circles, in addition to adjusting your work and rest schedule and restoring normal sleep, you should also pay attention to diet and nutrition. Supplement high-quality protein and vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables, such as chicken, pork liver, apples, oranges, grapefruit, celery, spinach, kelp, etc. Appropriate Chinese medicine conditioning can also speed up the recovery of eye bags. For example, those that mainly replenish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach include jujube, angelica, donkey-hide gelatin, coix seed, white atractylodes, poria, codonopsis, etc. To remove dark circles, the main way is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, nourish the kidney and invigorate Qi. You can choose salvia miltiorrhiza, moutan bark, yam, codonopsis, astragalus, yam, etc. as tea substitutes. Finally, patients with dark circles or bags under the eyes are advised to perform eye massage, gently massaging around the eyes in a certain direction several times a day, which can promote local blood circulation and promote metabolism.
