Eye Brightening Paste

Available in spring, this potion balances the liver through the eyes, working to lighten, detoxify, and clarify one’s vision for the rest of the year. 

Dark circles under the eyes can stem from a dehydrated system that is running off of adrenal fatigue, stress, and too little sleep. Obviously through stress-relieving techniques and proper nutrition this can be rectified but this paste can also slowly rebalance any dehydrated skin or fine lines around the eyes, and the face in general. It is loaded with liver loving, skin quenching botanicals that slow down the aging of the skin.

Spring

Time of day: Dawn

Organs: Liver & Gallbladder 

Movement: Rising

Portal: Eyes 

Spring practices begin the active external participation premised upon the internal alchemical practices of autumn and winter. Understanding divinity through each plant, tree, and species, allows the same benevolent forces to flow through oneself. This season harnesses the planting cycle that is governed by the moon. Its energy is a quickening of going out, as the light in the sky rapidly increases during the spring equinox. This energy is used to begin new projects, to plant seeds, and to quickly get things going. The inner urge of outer movement in spring pumps the lymphatic system to ensure the stagnancy of winter moves out and does not turn into illness. The liver governs the tendons and joints, the eyes, and the vision towards the future.
