New Straits Times (Apr 29, 02:34 AM) Q: I AM 22 years old and have dark circles under my eyes for about two years now. I am using eye gel daily but there is no improvement. Apart from getting plenty of sleep, what supplements can I take?
A: CIRCLES under the eyes can be due to the liver and kidneys not functioning as well as they should. The herb dandelion can be beneficial to both the liver and kidneys. Milk thistle also has a beneficial effect on the liver, by improving liver function and also protecting the liver from viruses, bacteria and certain toxins. A combination of both milk thistle and dandelion taken together along with a well-balanced diet and plenty of water can quite often make all the difference. Providing the circles are not from pigmentation, you should find them decreasing.
