Colon Cleanse
★★★★★
I've written about this in another thread for heavy metal cleansing and they asked me to name it so I will again. It was Dr. Natura's Colonix internal cleansing system. It's really simple, gentle and effective.
It promoted better bathroom results, easier female cycles, a cessation of hair loss, thicker, stronger and longer nails, decreased the dark circles, cleared up my skin, helped me sleep better, gave me more energy, increased my cravings for fresh veggies, I lost about 15-20 lbs, and my middle shrank in inches from finally being empty like it is supposed to be.
Beauty begins on the inside, you can't just slather the stuff on and expect results. Dark circles, skin conditions, hair loss, etc., are signs that our bodies need work on the inside.
Blessings and good luck!

Dark Eyelids Remedies

Hi Bostonewbie, Oil pulling has lightened my darkened eyelids, along with applying Vitamin K cream to the lids. You can read about oil pulling here at Earth Clinic and can find a good Vitamin K cream at a health store. My darkened lids were due to years of itchy eyes and the subsequent rubbing to try to quell the itch. Upon inspection with a lighted magnified mirror, I saw tiny broken blood vessels all along the eyelids--the culprits of the darkening.
Another skin brightener is plain yogurt. After washing my face, I pat it dry and apply a thin layer of plain yogurt, letting it set as a mask for twenty minutes each night before rinsing. One can use non-fat, low fat, or regular plain yogurt. I've tried each and prefer low fat. The skin feels moisterized and dewy afterward, and is brightened considerably. I recommend organic yogurt for this.
I hope this helps.

Dark circles are caused by lack of minerals. If you drink R/O or distilled water you need to put back in the minerals. That's why some people on this forum say ACV helps, APC has minerals. But if you need more, take fulvic minerals. I use a brand of fulvic minerals that is clear. It doesn't stain teeth like other fulvic/humic can. So add more minerals.
Dietary Changes

1) When I stopped eating salt and salty foods, I still had bags under my eyes.
2) When I stopped eating processed foods, I still had bags under my eyes.
3) When I stopped eating grains and gluten, I still had bags under my eyes.
4) When, for energy, I started relying more and more on fats, as opposed to carbs, I still had bags under my eyes. However,
5) Ever since I have been on a ZERO-CARB DIET, the bags under my eyes are barely visible.
6) The bottom line is, mainstream sources push salty foods, processed foods, grains, fruits and vegetables, They also claim, "Whole grains are the most wonderfully healthy food", "Fruit is the most awesome food on earth", "Carbohydrates are healthy and needed for energy", "Fiber is healthy and needed in the diet", "Dietary fat should be no more than 30% of calories", "Saturated animal fats are the cause of heart disease", "Hard cheeses are unhealthy", "Chicken fat is poison that instantly plugs your arteries", and "Eggs cause bad cholesterol". However, ever since I've been doing the exact opposite of everything they're telling me to do, I no longer have bags under my eyes.

I totally cleaned up my diet and my dark circles are much, much lighter - I don't bother with concealer any more. I can't say what did the trick since I made lots of dietary changes at once. Here's what I did:
Gave up all processed foods - make everything from scratch.
Gave up gluten.
Replaced soybean/corn/canola with olive oil/butter/coconut oil.
Try to get grassfed meat, raw dairy, organic fruit and veggies when possible.
Added fermented foods to diet.
I never thought my dark circles would improve. Thought it was genetic. Many other health issues improved as well. It's a sign of good health.
Good luck

Hydrogen Peroxide

I have always had dark circles under my eyes, and they are especially noticeable in the fall and winter. If I eat something with a lot of sugar, my dark circles are twice as dark the next morning, so my best remedy to date was simply to cut back on sugar and wheat. Helpful but not a cure. I have tried a lot of remedies and products over the years to see what could help this issue!
I have now tested this remedy on and off for a year and can confirm, it really works for dark circles.
My remedy is 5 drops of 12% food-grade hydrogen peroxide in a large glass of distilled water, taken twice a day. Within a few hours of taking it for the first time, I noticed the darkness under my eyes reduced by 50%. By the second day, about 80%.
Along with dark circles, I've noticed an immediate improvement in digestion and tons of energy.
If I stop drinking h2o2, the dark circles come back.
Iron

I then found out about deficiencies that vegetarians and vegans face, and the top ones were Vitamin B12 and Iron. I initially only saw that B12 was the main deficiency, so I ordered a product with B12, with other minerals and vitamins. While it did help me sleep better, I still noticed the dark circles, bags under eyes and fatigue.
I was then listening to a radio show and this doctor mentioned "heme" iron. I had no clue that there were two types of iron, heme (from animal products) and non-heme (from plant products). The problem with non-heme is, it's not only harder for your body to absorb, but if it's taken with other nutrients like calcium, zinc, etc.. it blocks the non-heme from being absorbed. You don't have that problem with heme iron from animal products. It's absorbed easily and nothing blocks it.
The first day I took this, I noticed a whooshing feeling all throughout my body like my blood pressure got raised. I felt it slightly less the second day. But this third and fourth day, not only have I not felt that again, but the dark circles and fatigue are all but GONE. This is only within about 2 weeks of taking just one pill per day. I open the capsule and put it in my protein shake after I eat my big meal.
I also do I.F. (Intermittent Fasting ; Warrior Diet) where I eat a huge meal and then drink a protein shake afterwards which takes about two hours total. So I'm fasting for 22 hours and eating within a 2 hour window (22:2).
I've never been a militant vegetarian / vegan, I've always known we've evolved to need certain nutrients in meat products, but thought I could still get every vitamin through supplementation as a vegetarian easily enough if I took multi-vitamins. I just had no clue that there was an absorbancy issue with non-heme iron, or I would've been taking heme iron this whole time.
If you are struggling with low energy, bags and dark circles under eyes, this is the product to take. Don't worry about that initial day you take this, you may feel a bit of a head rush, but it subsides after the next few days and you start to feel like brand new again. I'm still in shock at how quickly the heme iron product helped me.
Iron, Vitamin C

I suffered with dark circles since my early twenties. I thought they were hereditary. They got worse after pregnancy. I started taking iron supplements because I found out I was severely anaemic. I would become breathless very quickly Within two weeks of taking the supplement, the dark circles and dark eyelids were gone. My skin was brighter. My dry skin was less severe. The palms of my hands became more softer as did the soles of my feet. My cracked heels healed very quickly without any other intervention from me.
Warning: Do not take high doses of iron. It can be very poisonous. High doses can also cause systemic candida which is very difficult to get rid of.
If you are anaemic then that may be the reason for your dark circles. My doctor prescibed 265mg ferrous sulphate to be taken three times a day. This was too much and made me ill and gave me systemic candida. My doctor poisoned me. It caused me terrible fluid retention.
Now I break the ferrous sulphate tablet into 4. Then I have 1/4 every five days or so. This is sufficient. I can't believe I suffered with dark circles for so long and would have to wear makeup everyday to hide them. Now I don't bother with makeup at all because my skin is so much clearer.
