Dark Circles & Ayurveda

Dark circle is one of the most common problem for every individual these days. Due to several reasons, like: lack of sleep, stress, high pigmentation, sun exposure, fatigue, tiredness, allergies, genetics, and getting older which cause the skin under the eyes become thin and dry, making viens look more visible and skin appears more dark. 
 

According to Ayurveda, dark circles under the eyes signify an imbalance between the vata and pitta energy of the body. A high level of Vata can thin and dry up the skin, while lack of blood circulation causes dark circles. Pitta imbalance can bring inflammation and heat, making the circles darker and puffier. 
 

Ayurvedic practices like daily oil massages for the head and feet, yoga, adding milk and ghee into your diet, including foods rich in vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Iron and Magnesium, drinking plenty of water and enough sleep atleast 7-9 hours every night, all work together to nourish the skin, improve circulation, reduce stress and  dark circles.
