FIFA is coming, there will be many panda-like persons in the following month. It is not adorable that dark circles around eyes.
Lack of sleep is the first reason for dark circles. When you’re tired, your body keeps you awake by producing more cortisol. This increases the body’s blood volume, which in turn expands blood vessels. Since the skin under our eyes is especially thin, the enlarged blood vessels make it look darker.
In TCM theory, dark eye circles is relative with Kidney system. In TCM theory, the kidneys not only are the internal organ system that is responsible for reproduction. When kidney energy is low, dark eye circles emerge or become darkened.
Another cause of dark circles in TCM is a stagnation of blood. The thin skin under your eyes is thin so when the blood stagnates around your eyes, it’s more easily seen.
If you suffer from allergies, you may also be plagued by under eye circles. Also, for some people, dark eye circles run in their family, or with aging.
Here are some suggestions
-Apply a moisturizer to the eye area.
- Put some green tea bags on the area.
- Make sure you’re getting enough sleep.

People often associate needles with painful medical experiences, those who have not experienced acupuncture compare it to the injections. Acupuncture isn't like injection at all! First, acupuncture needle is much milder than a shot. Second, acupuncture needles are much thinner than hypodermic needles, we often say acupuncture needles as “hair-thin needles”. Acupuncture needles are disposable. What does acupuncture feel like?
Energy movement
Some people can feel the needle going in, but not everyone does all the time. Once the needles are in, typical sensations may include a mild feeling of something movement (it is energy or qi in TCM theory).
Heavy
Someone feel like a weight is being placed on the area. Sometimes this feeling of heaviness expands, spreading throughout the body part where the needle was placed.
Tingly
Acupuncture points can cause tingling at the needling site as well as throughout the body. Sometimes this happens immediately upon needle insertion and other times,
Warm
This typically occurs a minute or two after the needle is inserted. It may be a pleasant feeling.

Make sure to sleep without touching the sides, cause mosquitoes can actually bite you through the netting if it's tight against your skin.

Summer is coming, there is a Chinese old saying that “Eating turnip in winter and ginger in summer to keep the doctor away.” The saying is widely known and has been passed down through generations. Why?

We love to take in ice foods in summer, and too much ice foods will cause problems for the stomach and spleen, such as diarrhea and indigestion. The pungent ginger is classified as warm in TCM theory and can relieve discomforts and problems above. Ginger is powerful for soothing the stomach, fighting inflammation, stimulating circulation, reducing spasms, easing joint pain and fighting internal infection.

So we will add some slices of ginger when cooking, not only for flavor but also to decrease the cold of food, such as eating crab( cold ) with the sauce of ginger.
