Puffy Eyes a Problem?

By on March 15, 2010

Do puffy eyes and or under eye bags leave you scratching your head on why? If so, you’re not alone! I recently consulted with a man who wore sunglasses indoors at night because of the puffiness under his eyes. He had been to two specialists who… surprise SURPRISE, offered no help whatsoever. If the root cause is not discovered, the problem will exist. The external problem is the lesser of the evils. Your body is trying to tell you something!

In just a short amount of time, I discovered this young man was a teetotaler, which is a great thing. However… it could have detrimental effects if certain types of tea are left to brew. Tea brewing/steeping varies in time, though 3 to 4 minutes is plenty! Another culprit I discovered was that he ate far too much soy sauce. I for one, have had to cancel portraits for this very reason. I was puffed up from head to toe, that I was practically unrecognizable!

There can be a variety of reasons why we get puffy eyes… sugar and late night eating are a few other culprit!s One thing I have learned with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is… the skin below the eyes corresponds to the kidneys, so it would be wise to enlighten your doctor (or under eye bag/circle “specialist”) on this. Brace yourself and bite your tongue on their response and know… it’s better to be happy than right!
