What Chinese medicine practitioners believe are the causes of puffy lower eye bags

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the swelling of the lower eyelids may be caused by a deficiency of the spleen. Chinese medicine meridian theory, the lower eyelid is the stomach meridian circulation, spleen and stomach and each other for the table, the stomach is the abdomen main receptive (acceptance of accommodation), food through the mouth through the esophagus to the stomach, responsible for receiving food. The Spleen is the organ responsible for transportation and transformation. Firstly, it transports and transforms water and grains into essence, that is, the Spleen transforms the food taken into the body into essence and transmits the essence to the whole body. Secondly, it transports and transforms water and liquid, that is, the spleen has the role of absorbing, transferring and dispersing water and liquid. Ingested into the body of water through the spleen’s transportation and transfer, gasification into fluid, through the heart and lungs to reach the body’s internal organs, play a moisturizing, nourishing role. The metabolized water and wastes are then transferred to the lungs and kidneys through the spleen, and through the qi and chemical action of the lungs and kidneys, they are discharged from the body in the form of sweat and urine. When the spleen is weak, the absorption, transportation and non-dispersal of water will be weakened, resulting in water retention in the body. The lower eyelids are the thinner part of the body’s skin, so the symptoms of puffy lower eye bags may occur. It is recommended that you should consult a doctor in time to identify the cause of the swelling of the lower eye bags, and then give symptomatic treatment to improve the symptoms.
