Dark puffy eyes usually is due to lack of sleep. Too many people think they don't need much sleep & then wonder why they have probs. Balance out the water & tea too.

I also have this problem, I think some people are more susceptible to it.
I agree that enough sleep is key. Tea contains caffeine which may be affecting the quality of sleep you get, even if you believe you get enough quantity. Try not to drink caffeinated drinks after noon.
Regarding water, the recommendations are that you drink 1.5 litres of water per day. I have 1.5 litre bottles and basically keep a bottle on my desk and keep my cup topped up throughout the day.
Dark circles under the eyes may also be indicative of poor kidney function (water should help), vitamin K deficiency or food intolerances. Look carefully at your diet to see if there is any link between the dark circles and what you eat or drink. Dark berry fruits (red or black) are supposed to help.
I found the best product to use to be 'circle clear' by Skin Doctors. You can get it in Boots, but it is a bit cheaper on the net.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to drink a few glasses of water in addition to the tea you are drinking. But since we are talking about tea not drinks like soda or the like, I think you are probably getting plenty of healthy hydration with the teas. They don't dehydrate you.
That said, No I do not think tea is the problem. Although not enough sleep can contribute to the problem it is usually not the full cause of the problem you describe. It may be a combination of things.
The skin under our eyes is thinner than on any area of our body. Because of this the dark circles are usually caused by seeing the bluish tint of the circulatory system (capillaries, veins, etc). Sometimes it is darker with allergies or lack of sleep. Allergies can also contribute to puffiness. There are a number of causes. I would start with an over the counter cream made especially for the eye area. There are many good ones on the market. Most will help more with puffiness than the dark circles. The best thing you can do for dark circles is a expensive product called hylexin. There are generic versions of this product as well. I would start with a general over the counter eye cream, if the circles are severe then you may want to consider hylexin and/or cover up.
You can also place cool compresses on your eyes, they make reusable kinds that are available at most drug stores.

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles are swollen veins around the anal opening or the anal canal. They can be painful and linger on for a long time causing distress. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that are as effective and provides fast relief https://tr.im/jO8nX
The main symptoms include bleeding during the bowel movement and itching. The first thing that people do to cure hemorrhoids is get an OTC medication, without knowing their possible side effects.

You must drink water! Is your urine very dark? If it is, I'd suggest apple juice if you cannot tolerate water on it's own, but you must drink, it's vital to your health! If you suffer kidney breakdown in later life then there is no turning back! Another product on the market which would help you is Urea, individual little packets of granules that you take with a glass of water and they wash your kidneys out! Pop into your local pharmacy and see what they have on offer! Have a good day!

I always had the same problem.
It has nothing to do with water, more with sleep,when I don't sleep or I diet, I get like that.
You do drink,it is said 2 litres a day, including tea or supe,or juice.
But I saw on tv a beauty clinic that gives a treatment for that, not just cream, but it's a technical procedure. I wanted to try it but I guess I'm kind of laisy I didn't go.yet.
could be also medical problem in your case, go check with the doctor,it could be retain of water if you eat too salty.
could be from liver if it gives you a yellow complexion too.
but hopefully it's nothing serious.
probably it's just luck of sleep, please don't panic

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/wmf8L
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

Most doctors and health books recommend 8 glasses of water per day.
Puffiness or skin discoloration under the eyes affects just about everybody at some time or another. For some of us, however, these “bags” or “dark circles” are a near-constant bother. While these conditions are occasionally symptomatic of other illnesses, the usual cause is allergies, tiredness, or,lack of sleep(recommended amt of sleep is 7-9 hours per night )Vit K deficiency, old age, and unfortunately, heredity. No matter what the cause, you can still reduce the appearance of puffiness or dark circles, and in some cases, you may be able to get rid of them altogether.
Treat your skin while you sleep. There are overnight facial masques available that may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or discoloration, but you can also make your own. Just before you go to bed, take a washcloth and wet it just a bit with cold water. Then squeeze out any excess water and place it over your eyes as you sleep.
Cucumber TherapyApply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth, or cucumber slices to your eyes daily. The tannin in tea bags has been shown to reduce swelling and discoloration, and cucumber slices have long been used to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of skin around the eyes. Lie down, preferably in the morning, and leave fresh cucumber slices or cool, damp caffeinated tea bags (you can refrigerate them overnight so they’ll be ready) over your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. Keep your eyes closed.
Wash your face with cool to somewhat cold water in the morning or when puffiness occurs. The cold water will cause blood vessels to constrict, and thus reduces swelling.
Try to relax the space. You can do this by wetting a Q-tip and then freezing it for a little while. Then you should gently wipe under your eyes in the areas where the circles are occurring. When wiping, close your eyes and try not to flinch.
Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol. Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. Regardless of the cause, however, recent research has shown that skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many patients. Long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect.
Avoid rubbing your eyes. Usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always. Regardless of the reason, stop doing it. The rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.
Eat a healthy, balanced diet and drink plenty of water. A whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often attributed to lack of vitamin K or inadequate antioxidants. Be sure to get plenty of fruits and vegetables—especially cabbage, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables—and take a daily vitamin supplement if necessary. Get adequate fluids to improve circulation.
Reduce salt intake. Excess salt causes the body to retain water in unusual places, and this can result in puffiness under the eyes. Too much salt can also impair your circulation, and cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.
Quit smoking. Smoking causes vascular (blood vessel) problems that can not only threaten your life, but also make your blood vessels appear more prominent and bluer beneath the skin.
Cover the problem up with cosmetics. If all else fails, use a yellow or flesh-toned color which will camouflage the problem.
To do away with the unsightly swelling, use a little Preparation H or hemorrhoid cream. Just be careful not to put it too close to your eyes. It will shrink the skin if it is swollen, but won't make the dark circles go away.
Cutting onions will help you cry out some of the moisture under and around your eyes , however it isn't recommended you carry out this procedure daily .This will reduce the darkness under the eyes somehow . Using tea bags under your eyes straight afterwards also helps . Puffiness may not reduce immediately but will shortly afterwards
Tips
Food allergies and sensitivities play a major part in under-eye circles. Processed foods with artificial colors and preservatives as well as milk allergies can cause this problem.
You could also consult a Chinese medical practitioner, who may be able to alleviate the condition.
The Internet abounds with home remedies. While the most common are cucumbers and tea bags, there are a number of others. Feel free to test them out, as some may work for some people, but use common sense.
Warnings
Be careful about what type of teabag you use. If you have allergies a tea bag like chamomile might swell your eyes.
Do not apply ice or extremely cold water directly to the skin around the eyes for more than a couple of seconds.
Exercise caution when using a new cosmetic product or trying a home remedy. If the condition worsens, or if you exhibit other symptoms, discontinue use immediately and contact your primary care physician or dermatologist for severe or persisting symptoms.

You need to drink plenty of water, I should say 2 litres a day, go buy one of the bottles you can drink without removing the cap, and when it's empty, keep filling it up, this is what I do, and I put it in the fridge so it's nice and cold. You also need decent sleep
