According to the five chakras of Chinese medicine, the eyelids belong to the meat chakra, and the spleen is the master of the muscles, so big bags under the eyes are related to spleen deficiency. However, food is generally not used for treatment, the so-called 6 foods can replenish the vital energy is not true, in addition, spleen deficiency does not need to be treated by tonifying the vital energy (replenishing the body’s root qi).
The main causes of spleen deficiency are excessive fatigue, malicious dieting, overeating, and staying up late for a long time. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the master of the limbs, so overwork will damage the spleen qi and lead to spleen deficiency; malicious dieting and lack of nutrients in the human body will also lead to spleen deficiency; overeating directly damages the spleen and stomach and leads to weakness; and prolonged staying up late damages the essence of the spleen and kidneys, which will also lead to spleen deficiency.
The spleen is the main transporter (the spleen has the function of digesting food, absorbing food essence and water and transferring it to the whole body) of water and dampness, and a weak spleen will lead to water and dampness not being transformed, so the treatment of a weak spleen often strengthens the spleen and combines with diuresis of dampness. If you feel unwell, you should go to the Chinese Medicine Department of a hospital and consult a Chinese medicine practitioner for diagnosis and guidance.
