I will suggest you both causes and Herbs that remove Dark circle-

It is a known fact that aging causes dark circles under the eyes. This is partly a result of the thinning of the skin which surrounds the eyes and causes the veins to show through. Aging also causes loss of fat and collagen around the eyes, eventually leading to dark circles under the eyes.

Heredity is one of the causes for dark under eye circles. It might be surprising to know, but this problem is sometimes passed on from one generation to another.

The structure of the bones is another cause for dark circles. Deep-set eyes might have a shadowed appearance which resembles under-eyes circles.
Hyperpigmentation is also another reason that might cause dark circles under the eyes. Since the skin around the eyes is very sensitive, too much exposure to the sun might lead to under eye circles; as a result of excess pigmentation.

Certain lifestyle factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, excessive smoking or alcohol consumption, etc might also lead to dark circles.

Certain medical conditions like allergies, asthma, nasal congestion, circulatory problems, vitamin K deficiency, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, or kidney and liver disorders might also cause dark under eye circles.

Herbs such as parsley, sage, chamomile and mint provide effective treatment for dark under eye circles.

Extract fresh mint juice and gently dab it on the eye area and then allow it to dry.

Mix finely chopped parsley and sage along with two tablespoons of sour cream and then apply this mixture under the eyes. Allow this to stay on for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Cover the eye area using chamomile tea bags that have been soaked in cold water for a couple of minutes. Keep these tea bags over the eyes for around 10 to 15 minutes.

Mix a tablespoon of milk and nutmeg and stir it well. After this, apply the blend to the eye area prior to going to sleep at night. Don�t wash off the milk and nutmeg.

2. Wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 under the eyes to prevent skin weakening caused by sun damage.

3. Get plenty of rest.

4. Apply plain cool teabags over closed eyes. Don�t use herbal teabags, because most aren't as effective.

5. Apply cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes.

6. Be careful not to consume too much dietary salt. Start by learning about sources of sodium in the diet.

7. Apply vitamin K cream. Although studies haven't looked at the use of topical vitamin K for dark circles under the eyes, preliminary studies have found that vitamin K may help with bruising.

8. Vitamin C helps to strengthen blood vessel walls. Quiz: Are you getting enough vitamin C?

9. The dietary supplements grape seed extract and pycnogenol contain antioxidant pigments that may help to strengthen blood vessels. They should be used under medical supervision by people on "blood-thinning" drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin) and aspirin.

Certain foods, such as cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, tea (green and black), black currant, onions, legumes, and parsley also contain these antioxidant pigments.

10. Eat kidney-balancing foods. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a bluish cast under the eyes are due to an imbalance in kidney energy. Learn more about kidney yang deficiency and foods to eat.

I tested positive for protein s during pregnancy, what are the chances it could be a false positive?
Q. My grandmother recently passed away. She had blood clots in her legs, lungs, and arms due to Protein S. SO far the only family members i know who have tested positive are: a second cousin, my grandmother, my great grandmother, and me. How likely is it that I could have inherited protein s?

A. Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. So, I think you're talking about Protein S deficiency. That's a rare disorder that can lead to clots. It's of course likely that you could inherit it. There are a few different hereditary forms, but it can also be caused by vitamin K deficiency or treatment with warfarin, systemic sex hormone therapy and pregnancy, liver disease, and some chronic infections. If you do have an inherited form, it is a dominant, which means you have a 50/50 chance of passing it on.
