The medical term for dark circles under the eyes is the the Nasojugal Fold. It is often seen in those who are anemic (have an iron deficiency).

While iron supplements are the best and fastest treatment, you can also remedy the problem by improving your diet tremendously. Foods that are high in iron are:
liver
lean red meat
egg yolks
beans
fortified cereals (grape nuts, plain oatmeal, special K)
baked potato
dried peaches
licorice
cinnamon
tofu
walnuts
almonds
cashews
clams
shrimp
salmon
leafy green veggies
sardines
prunes
spinach
broccoli

Hope you are better soon!
