Yesterday, I was still complaining to a friend, saying that people nowadays sit on the toilet for half an hour, and their cell phones are wiped out, but the urge to shit is like a scumbag who never comes. In fact, what is intestinal laziness? It is because we live too tight a life.
In the past few days, I have read a lot of information and tried many complex methods. I found that treating constipation is not as simple as the "banana honey war" that some people often say. Those methods are too superficial. The real key secrets are hidden in those corners of your heart that you have never thought about and imagined.
Don’t fight with shit, talk to your lungs
Particularly interesting, I read a story. Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was unparalleled in power in the court, but he was eventually tortured to death by a piece of shit - of course, this is an exaggeration, but in fact, he suffered from extremely serious constipation. The imperial doctors were worried that his body was too weak and did not dare to use rhubarb to treat him, so there was nothing they could do. As a result, a new doctor, Shi Kan, asked him to spend 20 yuan to buy a blind aster, grind the aster into powder and drink it with water. After drinking it, he "quickly became smooth".
Why is this happening? The reason is that there is a relationship between the lungs and the large intestine. What you are facing is not simply intestinal blockage, but actually lung qi becoming turbid. If the air in the upper airway fails to flow downward, how will the passage door at the lower position be opened? At that moment, I felt like I was enlightened.
It turns out that we always look at our belly, longing to give it a massage, but in fact we miss the key points. Sometimes, you have to raise your head, take a deep breath, and exhale the depressed air in your chest, so that your lower body will naturally feel smooth.
What to eat? Eat some "slag" and "slippery"
Don't believe those who tell you to eat bananas. Raw bananas have a lot of tannins, which will make you more clogged.
The real things that are useful are the seemingly crude things. Corn grits, oatmeal, brown rice, these whole grains will irritate your throat when eaten, but in the intestines, they are like countless small brushes, rubbing away the old garbage stuck to the intestinal wall.
There are also those with "slippery" qualities, such as okra, fungus, and kelp, especially kelp (which is one type of kelp). There is a recipe that mentions 60 grams of kelp. After cooking it, mix it with some green onion, ginger and vinegar, and eat it as a dish. The slippery mucus it possesses seems to have given the dry river a layer of lubrication, allowing the boat named "Poop" to sail smoothly.
Get moving, but not asking you to lift weights
Don't rush to the gym to lift weights as soon as you hear about exercise. This will make you exhausted, your sympathetic nerves will become more excited, and your intestines will become more tense.
Try the simplest one: lie on your back, bend your legs, and then pedal in the air as if you were riding a bicycle. This action is extremely obscene and extremely comfortable at the same time. You can do it while lying flat on the bed and scrolling through your phone. Another method is to drink a cup of light salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning, and then rub the belly in a clockwise direction, starting from the navel and spreading outward in circles. The intensity should be steady, and you can feel that the intestines under the palm are slightly warm and in a peristaltic state.
Emotional shit also needs to be expelled
There is a word called "gut-brain axis", which is very mysterious but also very true.
You are in a state of anxiety, you are in a state of depression, you are sulking, these emotions will not go away, they will turn into "qi stagnation" in your body, causing your intestines to become tangled, so you see those people who are open-minded often have smooth bowel movements, and it is not without reason.
I have tried it before. When I feel depressed, I feel like getting angry but I have to hold it back. In this situation, when I go to the toilet and squat down, of course I can't pull it out. Later, the method was changed to walking downstairs twice, taking deep breaths, and exhaling the bad breath. After returning home, the feeling of going to the toilet unexpectedly appeared. The body is more honest than you. What it doesn’t want, it simply doesn’t want.
Finally, let’s talk a little bit crudely.
If you have tried various methods but still have no effect, then don’t force yourself to endure it. Go see a Chinese medicine doctor and find out whether you are suffering from “yin deficiency and blood dryness” that can be compared to a dry riverbed, or from “yin-cold internal excess” that is like a frozen pipe.
For example, if the stomach is cold, the hands and feet feel cold, but the stool is dry and hard like sheep dung and eggs, it may be due to a deficiency of yang energy, and it is necessary to use drugs with warming effects such as Cistanche deserticola and Aconite. As for the situation where the mouth is dry, the tongue is red and the tongue coating is less, it means that there is a loss of body fluids, so you have to use angelica, hemp seeds, almonds and other moisturizing agents.
Oh, by the way, there is a folk remedy that I have been hiding for a long time. My friend has tried it personally and it is really effective: use a handful of corn kernels every day, add a few walnut kernels, cook it until it is very soft and eat it as a meal in the morning. If it lasts for a month, you will find that you can have a bowel movement smoothly, and the whole body feels relaxed and happy, which is no worse than the feeling of falling in love.
Fundamentally speaking, constipation is not a disease, but a time and time again indifferent attitude towards the distress signals sent by your body. Stop using tough and rough methods like Kaisellu, which can only solve superficial problems but not fundamentally solve them. Sit down and listen to what your belly is actually expressing.
It may be saying: I also need to be treated gently.
