Further info on dark undereye circles?
Having taken arnica 30x for swelling following gum surgery, I found that the undereye circles I've always had (and always hated) almost totally vanished. I read on this forum that arnica can be taken regularly in a wet dose, and also that cina 30x was recommended. Someone also mentioned pure msm cream.Just a couple of questions. In the wet dose, do I just take a teaspoon of the water every night (just once a day at night?) until it's gone or does it need to be freshened every so often? Has anyone had good results with arnica cream and undereye circles?
As my gum surgery has gone well and is almost healed, I've stopped taking arnica regularly, but am tempted to go back to it as the results with my eye circles were so dramatic. Would this be a bad thing? I was taking it in the 30x dose, about four times per day as directed (after the initial six doses at intervals of two hours).
Having read about other people's difficulties on this forum, I realise that this may seem a trivial problem, but the transformation with arnica was so dramatic, it really brought home to me how much time I spend trying to cover these circles, and how much healthier, younger and more well-rested I look when they're gone. NOTHING else has ever helped! Pretty amazing, eh?
Thanks!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I advise you China 200 daily one dose in morning will be remove your dark circle but it will take time you have to continue 3 to 4 month

Thank you for bringing this interesting response to Arnica 30x to our notice.
As many members of this web are aware Arnica has been my favourite remedy which I have recommended for many ailments not listed in the Repertories and MM's but I have never used Arnica 30x for clearing up the circles under eyes.
I presume that the 30x helps by increasing the drainage under the eyes which the higher potencies do not do so effectively. I have used Arnica 6c and 30c nightly for the last 10 years but have had these circles under my eyes for the last 20 years which can be accounted for by my advanced age of 76 years. I also believe that this is hereditary.
Answering your question about using Arnica 30x in the wet dose, there should be no problem in using it but I would not recommend that you use in 4 times daily.
Twice will do nicely.

Many thanks for your prompt and kind replies.
Sazim: I was taking arnica pellets, maybe for a week before I noticed the circles were just gone. One day they were there, next day gone. I was taking it about four times per day, but imperfectly, as my mouth wasn't really acutely swollen and I probably forgot a few doses.
I am a 37 (38 tomorrow!) year old female. I'm very light-skinned, and it looks as though part of the problem is being able to see a vein or blood (almost like bruising) through the thin, translucent skin under my eyes, particularly in the left eye, where the circle extends from corner to corner. My right eye has more of a smudge in the inner corner. The skin is otherwise very good with little wrinkling, sagging or puffiness, so it's not just a matter of shadows or bags.
I have tried taking a very mild iron supplement, which helped for a friend of mine, but it seemed to have little effect.
It seems to get worse, predictably, when I am tired or unhappy, or when I've had a heavy night on alcohol and cigarettes. I probably do drink more than I should (and shouldn't smoke at all!) but I had this problem well before I had these bad habits.
Someone suggested a dairy free diet, as she had observed undereye circles in her son, who has dairy allergies. When he consumes dairy products, she says she knows because he gets these circles. My diet is really very good and I'm not a fan of refined foods. I consume dairy products and caffeine in low to moderate amounts.
Anyone with any other observations? Arnica or msm cream?
Joe: does that wet dose need to be freshened/replaced regularly/refrigerated? Do you just take it a teaspoon at a time until it's gone? I'd be concerned about bacteria in a bottle of water sitting around for weeks, but maybe I shouldn't be?
Again, many thanks all!

You may refrigerate the remedy if you live in the tropics.
There is no problem otherwise and you my like to not store the bottle near a window when the light may promote the formation of algae. In any case they are not harmful.
You start with a sealed bottle of water into which you put in 3 globules of the remedy and succuss it prior to use. After you have finished it in about 3 months you replace it with a new one and follow the same drill.

I have been trying natural remedies for over a year with no luck. I finally just broke down and bought a eye cream online which seems to be working now. I got it from eyecomplex. com
