“You look tired.”


Sick of hearing people say that to you? As the old saying goes, “eyes are the window to the soul.” But if your eyes have dark circles or under-the-eye bags, what does that say about your soul?

Fortunately, your soul might be doing just fine—it’s the skin underneath your eyes that makes you look so tired and worn out. But before I explain how facial cupping can help reduce under-the-eye bags, let’s talk about why eye bags exist in the first place.

What Causes Dark Circles?

If we combine the points of view of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western Medicine—and without mentioning genetics—we can talk about a few of the most popular ideas about why dark circles appear. These may be due to weakness in the Kidney meridian, blood stagnation around the eyes, and Vitamin K deficiency.

Potential cause: Weakness in the Kidney meridian

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dark circles under the eyes are a sign of weakness in the Kidney meridian. Weakened Kidneys can be the result of over-exhaustion, a lack of relaxation in your life, or both. Stressed? Overworked? If so, these sensations can absolutely drain your Kidneys!

In TCM, the Kidney meridian governs your entire hormonal system. That affects melanin, a pigment that can affect your appearance.

As a result, unhealthy and weakened Kidneys can start a chain reaction that leaves poor pigmentation under the skin around your eyes.

Potential cause: Blood stagnation

But that may not be the only cause. You also have to consider blood stagnation. Blood stagnation is what results when blood isn’t flowing smoothly in specific parts of your body.

Take a look at your own eyes. You’ll notice the skin around those eyes is thin, almost transparent. If the blood doesn’t have a nice, smooth flow around that area, how do you think that will affect it? The blood becomes visible—and voila, you’ve got dark circles.

Potential cause: Vitamin deficiency

Vitamin K strengthens your veins and capillaries. It promotes healthy circulation. It’s essential for proper blood clotting.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. It protects the skin against free radicals that cause many signs of aging, like thinning or wrinkling of the skin around that delicate under-eye area.

How to Reduce Dark Circles and Under-the-Eye Bags with Facial Cupping and Prickly Pear Seed Oil

If you’re tired and under-slept, that’s where you should start. But lack of sleep isn’t the only reason dark bags might appear under your eyes. To help get blood moving again, you might try Facial Cupping.

Facial Cupping on the facial skin is a more sensitive approach to stimulating blood flow. Rather than using large cups, you’ll use smaller cups that are more appropriate for the lighter skin arod the eyes. Using the suction of facial cupping, you’ll draw more blood to the intended area. This will restore everything that blood restores—better nutrition and circulation to those tough-to-stimulate places.

But that’s not all you can do. You should also include Prickly Pear Seed Oil with this treatment. Why? Prickly Pear Seed Oil is the oil with the highest amounts of Vitamins E and K on the market.

Sound familiar? Those are the exact vitamins you need to have if you’re going to reduce those under-the-eye bags.

Facial Cupping will help give your skin the physical stimulation it needs. For example, it will do the following:

  • Accelerate lymphatic regulation
  • Accelerate fluid drainage
  • Prevents oedemas and pouches from forming
  • Improves blood flow under the eyes
  • Helps form new connective tissues
  • Promotes collagen production
  • Reduces puffiness under the eyes

With Gentle Flash Cupping (all you have to do is squeeze and release after 1 or 2 seconds!), you can start having results within weeks.

Think about it this way: cupping relaxes muscle tension and enhances blood flow. The Prickly Pear Seed Oil provides the nutrition it needs. Together, they work in harmony to restore nutrition, stimulation, and relaxation to the affected areas. This reduces the look of tiredness and replenishes what your skin needs to look its best.
