Dark Circles Green icon of person with dark circles under eyes

In Western medicine, periorbital hyperpigmentation, commonly referred to as dark circles, is identified by the presence of brown or dark brown pigmented macules in the periocular region, impacting emotional well-being and quality of life (Roh, 2015, Dermatologic Surgery). Some integrative physicians propose that toxin accumulation may contribute to this condition.

In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) associates dark circles with imbalances in kidney energy, specifically Kidney Yin or Yang deficiencies. Kidney Yin deficiency may present with symptoms like dizziness and poor memory (Wang et al., 2018, Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine). Kidney Yang deficiency is often linked to spleen Qi weakness and may benefit from warm, cooked foods (Yu et al., 2017, Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences). Both Western and TCM frameworks provide distinct etiological and therapeutic insights into periorbital hyperpigmentation.
