Constipation relief can be solved with food or tea with safe and faster factor. Before suggesting the solution, let’s first understand the different causes of constipation.

Constipation is a common symptom but it can be embarrassing to mention. It refers to less than three bowel movements per week that are laborious, time-consuming, and hard-textured.

Mainly manifested as decreased frequency of defecation and difficulty in defecation. From 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning is the active period of the large intestine meridian.

At this time, the peristalsis of the large intestine is accelerated, so that waste can be excreted from the body. Usually once a day.

Generally based on the rule of three meals a day, defecation should be done at least once a day, preferably between 5 and 7 o’clock in the morning.

Constipation is believed to be caused by disruption of Qi (energy) and blood flow in the body. It is often associated with imbalances in the digestive system as well as other organ systems.

Diagnosing constipation is based on the pattern of imbalance, involving the various organs in the body and the overall balance of yin and yang.

Here are some thoughts on the causes and treatments of constipation.

Constipation relief  solution one – unblock Qi stagnation

Constipation is often associated with qi stagnation, which is an obstruction in the flow of life energy.

This stagnation can be caused by emotional factors such as deficiency, stress, depression, or anxiety.

1. Insufficient heart qi leads to insufficient driving force, which cannot be eliminated in time, and accumulates into constipation.

Usually the group are older people and heart qi weak people, their heart’s rates are usually slower.

2. Liver and gallbladder qi stagnation causes constipation due to insufficient ability to transform.

The secretion of bile significantly helps intestinal peristalsis, especially the peristalsis of the large intestine.

Constipation relief  solution two – solve yang deficiency problem

Constipation can also be attributed to Yang deficiency, which refers to a lack of warmth and energy in the body. Yang is associated with activity and warmth, and its deficiency can lead to a sluggish digestive system.

1. The decomposing ability of the stomach qi is poor, and the food that is not fully digested enters the intestinal tract, which increases the burden on the intestinal tract and causes constipation.

Those people with indigestion often have a heavy breath.

Constipation relief  solution three – break blood stasis:

Blood circulation as vital for overall health, and constipation may be associated with blood stasis, where the blood doesn’t flow smoothly.

1. Due to severe symptoms such as coma, stroke, or cerebral infarction, constipation occurs after those symptoms happened, because qi weak after those symptoms onset.

When coma, stroke, or cerebral infarction happened, all orifices were closed. They needs to be opened the aroma herbs.

No matter where the root cause is, it will eventually act on the intestinal tract, which is directly manifested as the imbalance of intestinal flora, resulting in insufficient processing ability of food at various stages, resulting in constipation.

Constipation relief  solution four – correct yin and yang imbalance:

The balance of Yin and Yang is crucial, and constipation may occur when there is an imbalance between these opposing forces. For example, excess Yang or deficient Yin can contribute to dryness and heat in the intestines, leading to difficulty in bowel movements.

Constipation relief  solution five – adjust dietary factors:

Traditional Chinese therapies places great emphasis on diet. Constipation can be related to the consumption of cold or raw foods, which are believed to weaken the digestive system.

Warm and easily digestible foods, along with adequate hydration, are often recommended to support healthy bowel movements.

1. In order to improve the flora, the commonly used method in Western medicine is to use probiotics as dietary supplements and eat them directly into the intestines.

Or using prebiotics which are substances that help probiotics grow so that they can survive better.

Usually, there is no constipation when taking either of them. However once they were stopped, constipation just occurs at once as before, and the body becomes dependent on it.

We know that we can not live on blood transfusions all the time. We eat food for blood to be created by our own systems.

✨ What Our Clients Say

  • I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.

  • Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.
