Why  Do We  Have Dark Circles Around the Eyes?

The beauty of the eyes is definitely diminished by dark circles. The skin around the eyes is delicate, so wrinkles appear there quickly. It is inevitable for lines and wrinkles to appear around the eyes with age. But if dark circles appear around the eyes before that, there are definitely some reasons behind them.

These circles are formed due to chronic illness, excessive bleeding, insufficient sleep, excessive mental stress, and an unbalanced diet. Sometimes, heredity can also be a reason.

                                                                   

Will Dark Circles Go Away?

Due to chronic illness and heredity, (they may not go away easily or at all, implying that these are difficult causes to reverse).

It is difficult to know when the circle is formed. At such times, it is not harmful to take proper advice from a doctor or to try some home remedies.

 * Lie down with your head slightly raised. Apply a cold compress to your eyes. Even a tea bag kept in the refrigerator can be used at such times.

 * Wash your eyes by adding a teaspoon of Epsom salt to a cup of water.

 * Soak a cotton ball in rose water and place it on your eyes.

 * Massage your eyes gently. Starting from the middle of your eyebrows, move your fingers around your eyes twelve times. Press the inner corners of both eyes.

 * Treatments started for beauty should be done consistently and with a positive attitude.

Diet for Healthy and Beautiful Eyes

Every component in the diet is essential for health and beauty. Natural and uncooked foods are the best diet. For example, all kinds of fruits, carrots, radishes, beetroot, green leafy vegetables, dried fruits, and dairy products should be included in the diet.

                                                                     

'A' Vitamin: Friend of the Eyes

'A' vitamin is very important for the beauty of the eyes. Cod liver oil, milk, curd, ghee, eggs, pumpkin, carrots, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, mangoes, papayas, oranges, and watermelons contain a rich amount of 'A' vitamin.

To keep eyes healthy, beautiful, and bright, take 10,000 units of 'A' vitamin daily.

'B-2' or Riboflavin is another vitamin essential for eye health. Green leafy vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs, citrus fruits, bananas, tomatoes, 'brewer's yeast', almonds, and sunflower seeds contain 'B-2' vitamin. If there is a deficiency of this vitamin in the diet, the eyes appear dull.

The Wonder of 'Tears' in the Eyes

Sorrow and joy are natural processes. Tears keep the eyes clean. Dust particles that enter the eye are washed out by tears. Tears contain an enzyme called lysozyme which is antibacterial. Therefore, tears work to keep the eyes sterile. To increase tear production, extracts of coriander and lemon peels, and drops of castor oil are put into the eyes. This keeps the flow of tears smooth.

'Eyes' are an important part of our body and are used for seeing beautiful sights. Poets often use words like 'Meenakshi', 'Kamalnayan' as synonyms for beautiful eyes. There is a great emphasis on the beauty of 'deep eyes' in their writings.

Many unspoken emotions are expressed through the eyes. Even small children can convey their feelings by looking at their mother. Sadness or worry is visible in the eyes. If we are sick or about to fall ill, we first notice it in our eyes. Beautiful and sparkling eyes are a sign of health and beauty.

Why do eyes become dull?

Mental stress, insufficient sleep, friendship with mobile and computer, unbalanced diet, and defects in blood circulation can cause the eyes to become dull. Dust, smoke, and pollution are unavoidable external factors that also affect the eyes, leading to strain and dullness. Fatty foods and excessive intake of salt and protein also have an impact on the eyes. If there is a deficiency of water in the body, it creates obstacles in blood flow and the functioning of the tear glands, and the eyes appear dull.

                                                                       STAY YOUNG !     

 TO look young" is a desire in everyone's heart. There's a close relationship between "beauty" and "youthfulness." But what if, instead of just trying to look young, we could actually find a way to stay young? This can be achieved through the Ayurvedic concept of "Vayahsthapana" (rejuvenation)

To "stay young," we first need to understand what "youthfulness" actually means. The original Sanskrit word "Tarun" means "tender." In youth, all bodily organs are tender, vibrant, full of energy . The mind is also tender, filled with creativity and imagination, and has the drive to accomplish something. A baby's charming body grows and develops, reaching a stage where we can imagine what the person's lifelong appearance will be – that's youthfulness. While acknowledging the individual physical differences of each young person, the overall well-proportioned body, height, the sparkle in the eyes, and hairstyle are immediately noticeable. A hunched back and shoulders bent inward and forward suggest a defeated personality, while broad, sturdy shoulders, a straight neck, and the tendency to look people in the eye suggest a youthful personality that faces life head-on. The desire to keep our body shapely, healthy, and looking good, having preferences in clothing, being aware of our surroundings, striving for a radiant body and skin, being able to mingle with others and attract them with our company through conversation and  maintaining a fragrant presence, participating in any situation, helping, being prepared to face challenges, and demonstrating intelligence – all these ways, we constantly make others aware  that we are young.

The desire to always be in the company of others and be the center of attention is primarily a characteristic of youth (later, this can turn into ego). Also, in youth, instead of hating others, we have a competitive spirit. We focus on our own development and overcoming obstacles rather than criticizing or condemning the external environment or other people. Therefore, to look young, we need to keep these things in mind and act accordingly. 

Even if people have become aged, they look young if they take care of themselves as described above. Taking proper care of the body, clothes, and eyes, as well as following the treatments and diet prescribed in Ayurveda at the right time are important.

Key Takeaways:

Youthfulness is both internal and external: It's not just about looks, but also about attitude, energy, and engagement with life.

Ayurveda offers ways to stay young: The concept of "Vayahsthapana" focuses on rejuvenation.

Youthful qualities include:

Vibrancy and energy

Creativity and imagination

A competitive spirit

A positive attitude

Social engagement

Self-care

The law of attraction

The law of attraction is the New Thought spiritual belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are made from "pure energy" and that like energy can attract like energy, thereby allowing people to improve their health, wealth, or personal relationships. There is no empirical scientific evidence supporting the law of attraction, and it is widely considered to be pseudoscience or religion couched in scientific language. This belief has alternative names that have varied in popularity over time, including manifestation.

Advocates generally combine cognitive reframing techniques with affirmations and creative visualization to replace limiting or self-destructive ("negative") thoughts with more empowered, adaptive ("positive") thoughts. A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively change one's negative thinking patterns, one must also "feel" (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with the proposed energetic law.

While some supporters of the law of attraction refer to scientific theories and use them as arguments in favor of it,it has no demonstrable scientific basis. A number of scientists have criticized the misuse of scientific concepts by its proponents.Recent empirical research has shown that while individuals who indulge in manifestation and law of attraction beliefs often do exhibit higher perceived levels of success, these beliefs are also seen being associated with higher risk taking behaviors, particularly financial risks, and show a susceptibility to bankruptcy.
