Is the sunken upper eyelid a deficiency of the kidneys or the spleen?

The upper eyelid belongs to the spleen, and depressions are mostly caused by spleen deficiency. According to the “five chakra theory” of Chinese medicine, the flesh chakra refers to the upper and lower eyelids, and the spleen is the master of muscle, so the flesh chakra belongs to the spleen, so the upper eyelids belong to the spleen. The spleen is the foundation of the later day, and is responsible for the transportation of water and humidity, as well as the essence of water and grains. When the spleen is insufficient, the essence of water and grains cannot be transported to the various parts of the body, and the eyelids are not moisturized, and the upper eyelids may appear to be sunken. In addition to this, patients may also experience symptoms such as weakness, lethargy, poor appetite, loose stools, and a yellowish complexion. Patients with kidney deficiency and deficiency of fluid will often have the manifestation of sunken eyes and two dark eyes. Patients should go to the hospital to clarify the specific cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
