07/16/2008: David from Beaverton, OR replies: "I was wondering about using the apple cider vinegar for my dark circles and needed to know do you drink it? If so how much daily? Or do you apply it directly under the eyes? Thanks for your help!"

01/30/2009: Betsey from Detroit, Michigan replies: "I was wondering, do you drink the ACV or apply it directly to the dark circles?"

03/21/2009: Deirdre from Atlanta, GA replies: "So sorry, I just realized that there were 2 questions here for me that I never saw! I drink it: 2 tablespoons in 8 ounces of water once a day. When I have managed to stay off of wheat and sugar for a period of time, it has made a dramatic difference."

04/10/2009: Ray from Atlanta, GA replies: "I was wondering, if the purpose of cutting out wheat to avoid gluten? That means no whole wheat bread or pasta?"

04/11/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Ray, You can answer your own question by seeing if total elimination of wheat products gets rid of the dark circles under eyes. It it does then try some of the whole wheat products and see if they return. It may be something used in the bleaching process instead of the gluten. Of course any allergy to other foods may be the cause, not just wheat. Dairy products are another big cause of allergies, but there again, if you can find someone with a cow that sells unprocessed milk, you might find that it isn't the milk but something the processors added that is the problem rather than the milk."

04/11/2009: Angela from Massapequa, New York replies: "in regards to black circles, i understand that cider vinegar help get rid of the problems, please tell me the quantities used. thank you, Angela"

09/29/2010: Sandy from Mission Viejo, Ca replies: "Deirdre, I will try the ACV drink. Can you tell me how long it took for you to notice significant results?"

10/06/2010: Rachel from To, Canada replies: "Apply to face nightly. I freeze my ACV in a ice cube tray. When I want to take some I cut it into little pieces and take with warm water. This way you can't really taste the ACV and you won't ruin your the enamel on your teeth."

03/17/2012: Omnischoolmom from Durham, North Carolina, Usa replies: "Here is the ACV ratio I use: 5 parts water, 2 parts raw honey (optional), and 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar. Good for drinking and topical application, even one drop at a time in the eyes (one eye at a time, it will sting for a good 10 seconds, so roll your eye all around while closed to coat it before your tears wash it out)."

01/11/2009: Robin from Rocky Ridge, Ohio replies: "I couldn't agree more with this suggestion. I have had dark eye circles all my adult life and have watched my mom's get darker as she aged. In an effort to overcome some illnesses I have, I decided to try internal cleansing. I found one that worked amazingly well and one of the side benefits of removing toxins from my body was the lightening of the dark circles.

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 suppose to be.

Beauty begins on the inside, you can't just slather stuff on and expect results. Dark circles, skin conditions, hair loss etc., these are signs that our bodies need work on the inside.

Blessings and good luck!"

01/11/2011: Crachel from Huntington Beach, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi there! I am so excited I found this site as I feel like there are a number of things currently ailing me :
I have pretty bad asthma as well as allergies, and am currently still recovering from a chest cold which put me in the ER on Christmas for my asthma. They told me I also had bronchitus in the hospital and subsequently put me on 3 days of prednisone and a weeks worth of antibiotics (erythromycin.. 8 pills a day). I finished all the medication as directed and I am just now starting to feel better although I still have a lingering cough and blowing my nose a lot.

I have decided to start this new year healthy and natural and am really hoping to make a change in my lifestyle and overall health through natural means. I eat a primarily vegetarian diet, and make fresh juices every day at home, also I exercize and do yoga and pilates at least 3 times a week (i did not exercize the past 2 weeks as I was still sick).

I read all about the oil pulling method as well as the benefits of ACV on this site and I have a few questions. I am interested in doing a colon cleanse and then a liver cleanse to really detox my body (i guess you could say I abused it over the past ten years partying, I am a 27 yr old woman now). Would anyone be able to recommend what to do first? I have heard the first thing to do is a colon cleanse before a liver cleanse, and I was reading about the Dr. Naturas cleanse and to me it seemed great.

I want to also start trying the ACV methods and Oil pulling to help with my candida (my gynecologist has told me I have high amounts of yeast and I did the candida spit test this morning)as well as dark undereye circles, acne, and my joints which pop and crack more than the average persons in my opinion. Is it bad to start oil pulling and taking ACV at the same time as starting a colon cleanse? I tried OP for the first time this morning with one tbls. of Olive oil for 20 min, and subsequently coughed up quite a bit of extra phlegm afterwards.

Sorry this post is so long, I am just looking for some advice on how to get healthy the natural way since I was starting to think I was aging prematurely but I think my body is just really toxic! Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. God bless."

02/17/2011: Msannanola from New Orleans, La replies: "Crachel: You must must must try the water cure and its various aspects. Your sinus / allergies and your aching joints are classic signs of dehydration. I used the water cure successfully to rid myself of most allergy symptoms I even started having asthma symptoms which went away in two days of drinking sufficient water. You need 1/2 your weight in ounces of water and a little unrefined sea salt per day the pink himalayan is great. You also need iodine, I used kelp and then later lugols solution. Magnesium, I use magnesium oil. The rest of what you need you will most likely get from your food. The water has made a huge difference for others who I have recommended it to. One lady is off daily doses of benadryl. Now she only takes it as needed. I am off of zyrtec. I have stopped needing antibiotics 4 to 6 times a year! This has been a huge life change for me! I am about to turn 40 and I am so proud of taking control of my own health! "

04/09/2011: Peggy from Tiffin, Ohio replies: "Hi I am a 35 yr old mom my family and I are suffering from pesticide poisoning... Everyday is a new struggle. I recently started developing slightly puffy dark circles under my eyes and heard that it could be from the toxins in my liver. I am taking livaplex from standard process along with other herbs. Has anybody ever heard if this will work? And will the circles go away?"

04/12/2011: Cb from Blaricum, The Netherlands replies: "Hi, I do not know about livaplex, but you can try to use activated charcoal (with plenty of water) as it binds a lot of toxins! You can also try to do a liver cleanse (look up Hulda Clark)."

06/25/2011: Raquelle from Auckland, New Zealand replies: "Cracheal... You are definatly on the right track with the yeast theory. Yeast is causing so many problems and making the perfect enviroment for disease. Keep researching it as this I believe is where all the other problems stem from. If you like you can add me on facebook as yeast is one of my big issues and I would love to share what I know with you.... Raquelle "

06/25/2011: Andreea from Grimsby, On, Canada replies: "Hello

I would like to learn more about yeast too. Could you please add me as your frins on Facebook? Thank you!"

07/30/2011: Tj from Sturgis, Mi replies: "I have a belief that most candida/yeast problems stem from Gluten intolerance which damages the intestines and therefore the immune system causing yeast to grow unchecked. You might get checked for that as some people are damaging there body and don't even know it. The list of symptoms is too long for me to write down."

WHAT AMAZING STUFF...AND i don't get easily impressed. I LOOK NORMAL..not like I have anemia..anymore!!! I eat 2 tablespoon and apply it under eye like 4 times..."

01/23/2010: Timr from Dover, Delaware replies: "I am very curious about the use of coconut oil for dark sunken eyes. I believe it is hereditary sense my twin sister has the same problem. I have tried just about everything I can think of. I read your feedback about coconut oil and was wondering. What type of oil did you use? Did you injest it also? and how long did it take to see results? Thanks T."

[YEA]  01/23/2011: Linda from Nyc replies: "i have used both nutiva and spectrum topically for my dark eyes and they both have worked. I think nutiva is better since its raw. My dark circles are hereditary and to top it off I suffer from insomnia and sinus issues. I saw a difference in maybe 4 days to a week. It sure does the trick and its natural. Taking it internally wouldn't hurt but it isn't necessary."

07/09/2010: Ann from Chicago, Il, Usa replies: "In response to Melissa, in some cases dark circles can be caused by an iron deficiency. That would explain why the iron-rich BSM worked for you and nothing else did. I have been trying lots of other cures for my dark circles, Oil Pulling, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Virgin Coconut Oil among them. I also have RLS and cold hands and feet, so I started taking the BSM today and I hope it will work for me, too!"
