The climate in autumn is cool and dry, and the air humidity gradually decreases, which is considered as "dry season" by Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine in Zhang Wenxin says that lung qi corresponds to autumn, and lung governs fur and breathing. When excessive dryness damages body fluid, it is prone to more skin and respiratory symptoms, such as dry mouth, sensitive skin or redness and tightness, dry nasal mucosa, dry throat, etc., but besides, constipation should not be underestimated!

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mentioned that "lung and large intestine are exterior and interior", and the meridians and viscera of lung and large intestine interact. When dry qi is transmitted to the large intestine through the lung, the intestinal tract lacks the water of body fluid, which will lead to abnormal defecation and make people feel dry stool.
