Date: July 17, 2006 06:25PM Hey all,
Been raw for almost 1 month now. I'm getting good sleep, however I keep getting pretty bad dark circles under my eyes.. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it a sign of some kind of deficiency? Peace, Jeff Re: Dark Circles under my eyes

* salt * detox. (from mine and other people's experience) Gosia

(Especially to balance out fruit because they have a lot of potassium in them.) I also think you can get dark circles with excessive salt also. It is all a matter of balance. Hope this helps.

Date: July 18, 2006 07:13PM Dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of many things. A possiblity is Vitamin K deficieny.
Putting cucumbers on your eyes is "supposed" to get rid of dark circles (I think this is a myth). However the basis of it, that cucumbers are a good source of Vitamin K is true. 1 whole cucumber (peeled) has about 25% DV (20.2 mcg) of Vitamin K. There is a litle bit more Vitamin K in the peel. To make an unpeeled cucumber easier to eat, it's best to run over the feel several times with a fork to soften it. I can't think of any other good sources for Vitamin K off hand, but there definately are some. However, as I said the dark circles under your eyes could be due to a lot of things.
