Sleep deprivation can cause the skin to become dull and paler. The dark tissues and blood vessels beneath the skin can start to show. Lack of sleep may also cause fluid to build underneath your eyes, causing them to appear puffy. Staring at the television or computer screen may cause strain on your eyes. This strain can enlarge the blood vessels around your eyes. As a result, the skin surrounding your eyes can darken.

Dehydration is also a common cause of dark circles under the eyes. Sun exposure can cause your body to produce an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives your skin color. An under-eye mask is applied made using various Ayurvedic ingredients to help relax the tension on the under eyes which helps to reduce the pigmentation and puffiness. Depending upon the skin type and reason for dark circles, a therapy suitable for curing it is performed.

For eye strain or stress, Netradhara is performed. This is a unique form of eye therapy that uses therapeutic oils or decoctions. During this procedure, an oil mixture containing medication is used to wash the eyes. In this unique cleansing method, a stream of liquid herbal concoction is continuously poured over the eyes for around 30 minutes while the head is resting comfortably.

This procedure involves washing the eyes with Triphala water, which both cleans the eyes and treats several eye-related issues.
