Cosmetic Acupuncture for Dark Circles of the eye 31 January 2018Family Wellness CentrePost navigation Cosmetic Acupuncture for Dark circles Dark Circles under and around the eye can make you look tired, exhausted and depleted. But the body doesn’t lie, you’re probably feeling that way too, what with work and family commitments, not to mention the daily stresses we all deal with. A lot of women complain about this symptom and Chinese Medicine has it’s own interpretation of what this means. It suggests Cosmetic or Facial Acupuncture as a way to help rectify this problem, naturally. I know when I’m really tired, I get dark rings under my eyes. Then when I sleep better or feel great I don’t notice them so much. Why is that? Well, I was really interested to learn of how TCM looks at this sign. Chinese Medicine has been using Acupuncture on the face for a long time. Acupoints on the face are intended to direct Qi and Blood to the face, help drain swelling or clear sinuses, release tension from the facial muscles and relax the jaw. All of these help in a Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment because these are strategies that help improve complexion colour, reduce tension in the face and change signs of dryness, dullness and puffiness of the skin.
