Introduction
In general, whether moxibustion is effective for removing under-eye bags and dark circles depends on the specific circumstances. It may have some effect on mild cases, but may not be effective for severe under-eye bags and dark circles. It is advisable to maintain regular eating and sleeping habits in daily life, avoid staying up late and prolonged eye strain, and ensure sufficient sleep.
Generally speaking, whether moxibustion is effective in removing under-eye bags and dark circles depends on the specific circumstances. If the under-eye bags and dark circles are mild, moxibustion usually has some effect; however, if they are severe, moxibustion may not be effective. A detailed explanation is as follows:
The formation of under-eye bags is mainly related to changes in the eye area structure. With aging, the skin around the eyelids gradually becomes loose, and the supporting structures of the orbital septum weaken, causing the orbital fat to protrude and form under-eye bags. The formation of dark circles is associated with endocrine disorders, internal cold due to spleen and stomach deficiency, and insufficient qi and blood. If the under-eye bags and dark circles are mild, moxibustion can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, thereby improving blood circulation around the eyes and alleviating under-eye bags and dark circles. However, if the symptoms of under-eye bags and dark circles are severe, moxibustion may not achieve the desired removal effect.
Routinely, one should maintain regular dietary and作息 habits, avoid staying up late and prolonged eye strain, and ensure sufficient sleep.
