In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Motley discusses the significance of dark circles and bags underneath the eyes. He explains how these issues are connected to the functionality of the kidneys and adrenal glands.

0:08.0	help transform the way you live, feel, and overcome disease naturally. I'm your host Courtney Burcage along with Dr.
0:15.4	Josh Axe and Dr. Chris Motley. We're so happy you've joined us. Let's dive into
0:20.5	today's episode. Hey friends, Dr. Motley here with the Ancient Health Podcast.
0:25.0	We're going to talk about the dark circles underneath the eyes.
0:29.0	We're going to talk about the bags underneath the eyes and what are the implications that this gives you about the rest of your body.
0:37.0	In Eastern Medicine traditions and philosophy, the bags and dark circles underneath the eyes are associated with the functionality
0:46.3	of the kidneys.
0:47.9	So if you're waking up in the morning and you feel as though you're chronically fatigued,

1:47.8	around the eyes is telling you what's happening to the brain. So if you're tired in the
