Beware of panda eyes caused by rhinitis.

Speaking of panda eyes, namely dark circles, most people would think that it is caused by staying up late or not sleeping well last night. However, experts from Wuhan Union Hospital indicate that for some people, the cause of dark circles is not poor sleep but rather pathological conditions in other parts of the body, such as rhinitis.

Chronic rhinitis or sinusitis-induced persistent nasal congestion can lead to blood stasis under both lower eyelids near the nose, resulting in dark circles. Nowadays, it's very common for many office workers to have dark circles due to work fatigue. In this situation, men tend to ignore it while women often spend a lot of money on famous brand eye creams for maintenance.

The main characteristic of dark circles caused by chronic rhinitis is bluish-green veins under the eyes. People with this type of dark circles mainly suffer from allergic rhinitis and sinusitis because inflammatory substances easily appear in their blood vessels, leading to subcutaneous vasodilation and slight blood stasis, causing bluish-green dark circles under the eyes. Patients with chronic rhinitis can eat more water chestnuts, which are rich in starch, iron, and protein. These components help accelerate blood circulation around the eyes. This method is natural and safe without allergy concerns. Specifically, slice the water chestnuts and place them flat on the eye circles. After 15 minutes, wash them off. Do this once a day, and after persisting for a period of time, significant results will be visible.

Experts from Wuhan Union Hospital remind that due to busy lifestyles, the sleep quality of office workers continues to decline, resulting in the appearance of dark circles. Chronic rhinitis triggered by colds should not be overlooked and needs timely treatment along with ensuring adequate sleep.
