TCM Health Care: How to Treat Spleen Deficiency, Bags under the Eyes, Spleen and Kidney
A person who is always troubled by bags under the eyes usually thinks that the first solution is to sleep more and rest more, followed by applying eye cream that can remove bags under the eyes on time, and the most extreme thing is to remove bags under the eyes by surgery. Although all three methods may be effective, Professor Li Yuehua, director of the Geriatrics Center of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, believes that the root of the problem must be found first to eliminate bags under the eyes. There is a saying that the bags under the eyes are big due to spleen deficiency and black due to kidney deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of pouch is directly related to the function of spleen. Spleen and stomach mainly transport Shui Gu, and the function of spleen and stomach directly affects muscle function and fat metabolism in the body. The function of the spleen and stomach is weakened, the water and dampness are not transported smoothly, and the skin and muscles lack nutrition and are slack and inelastic. Over time, eyelids droop and bags under the eyes form. Therefore, improving the function of spleen and stomach is helpful to eliminate pouch. In addition, Chinese medicine theory holds that the kidney governs water, and its color is dark. Kidney deficiency leads to water metabolism disorder, kidney deficiency leads to long-term poor blood circulation, and eye loss leads to dark circles, mostly in the lower eyelid. Therefore, if you want to remove bags under the eyes and dark circles, you should not only adjust your work and rest, but also pay attention to diet and nutrition, especially strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney.
