under-eye bags can be influenced by thyroid imbalance, diabetes, sleep, and stress. gentle Ayurvedic oils like Kumkumadi Taila or aloe vera gel can be applied lightly at night. Along with proper sleep, hydration, and balanced diet, this can help nourish and brighten the under eye area naturally. consult Ayurvedic doctor for personalized care.

Cream is not the solution. The skin darkness is due to vata and pitta aggravation. Follow HAIP DIET. It will reduce gradually

Dark circles, dark eyelids and under eye bags are not going to cure from an external application or any Ayurvedic cream. As per Ayurveda, you are suffering from rasa kshaya condition, your hypothyroidism is confirming it also.
Next Steps
You can consult us personally through this platform for your proper treatment and care from root cause, which ensures non-occurrence of the symptoms.
Health Tips
Taking Nasya karma with Kumkumadi oil, cow ghee or almond oil, take proper sleep, correct your indigestion, cool compress like cucumber, carrot, or rosewater can help you.
But if you want to treat it from root cause, you should consult us personally.
Thank you
