Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty, once mentioned the cause of constipation in Treatise on Febrile Diseases: "Stomach dryness will harden stool."

Constipation is one of the symptoms of people with yin deficiency constitution. Constipation means that the frequency of defecation is reduced, from normal once a day to once every two or three days, or longer, which is not only irregular, but also very dry and hard.

Constipation is harmful to our health. It is usually caused by the fact that toxins deposited in the body cannot be excreted. Bad breath is the most typical example, and the most taboo obesity of women is the accumulation of toxins in the body, which leads to edema of the large intestine and slow blood circulation in the lower body. This phenomenon is very easy to form pear-shaped and general belly. Not only that, constipation can also lead to loss of appetite, because it will make us feel full, so we often can't eat food.
In addition to the above symptoms, constipation will also cause acne due to excessive accumulation of toxins, which will precipitate pigments on the face and increase the possibility of stroke. Usually, patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease will have great difficulty in defecation if constipation is serious, which will lead to excessive exertion and even increase the probability of sudden death. In addition, it is easy to cause diseases such as neurasthenia and anal fistula, as well as cancer. Men can also cause sexual dysfunction, and women can cause dysmenorrhea and other symptoms.
