Ayurvedic Treatment for Bags under Eyes

Puffy eyes or bags under the eyes are both a health and cosmetic issue. It affects the person’s health as well as looks. While ladies seem more concerned about such altered looks, puffy eyes and dark circles around eyes are observed more in females due to their delicate skin and structures under the skin around the eyes. In some cases, dark eyes or puffy eyes are temporary and they get rid of their own. In such people, the condition may be caused by a temporary pathology like an allergy or sleep deprivation. But in some cases, the condition is long lasting and continues despite any treatments. There are many home remedies that claim to be removing the bags under eyes, but a complete cure will be possible only when the cause of the condition no longer exists.

Ayurvedic Concept of Bags under eyes

Eyes are considered very important by the sages of Ayurveda. They placed an entire section of classical texts to explain diseases of eyes. Puffy eyes can be called as netrakootasotha in Ayurveda. As per our knowledge, sotha means swelling in Sanskrit and netrakoota means eye & surrounding area. Sotha or swelling is enumerated as a disease of Kapha dosha imbalance. In most cases, the circulation of body fluids will be obstructed in minute channels & extracellular space around the area. Due to the blocked channels, Vaata also will be vitiated. Ayurveda explains eyes as the normal site of Pitta dosha & vision as one among its normal functions. As Pitta is hot & Kapha is cold by quality, both of them act opposite to each other. So, eyes should always be saved from aggravated Kapha. That is why daily and weekly application of Anjana (medicated kajal or collyrium is advised. Adding this procedure to your daily routine will help you prevent many eye disorders and puffy eyes.
