Constipation is an affair that confuses many people. The question of what to eat with constipation is also varied. Some people say that drinking honey, some people claim to drink Coptidis, and others have nothing to offer and even propose to eat croton. Peng Yuqing, director of the sub-health department of the East China Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded people that constipation should not be blindly treated. It is necessary to first distinguish the type of constipation and then treat it.
Peng Yuqing told reporters that Chinese medicine generally divides constipation into four types, and different types of constipation are also different in their dietary methods. The first manifestation is the dryness of stools. Most of these patients have a particularly dry and hard stool, and the body tends to be more sturdy. Patients with this type of constipation should preferably drink with raw radish juice on an empty stomach.
The second manifestation is stool stickiness. This kind of constipation patients often feel that the stool is not clean, and it is difficult to wipe clean afterwards. This type of constipation is caused by the body's dampness and heat. It is best to drink brewing water or boiled with water. Get up early and take it on an empty stomach.
The third manifestation is the stoollessness. This type of patient may not have dry stools, but it is difficult to defecate, and it is usually older people. The key to the therapeutic treatment of this type of constipation patients is qi supplementation. You can choose Atractylodes pulverized powder and take 30 grams orally daily. You can also add some jaundice after boiled water.
The fourth kind of constitution is deficiency of blood and lack of blood. Patients with this kind of constipation are often thin or young, and the therapeutic method is to mix the raw shouwu into powder and black sesame and paste it into a paste. Taste add honey or sesame oil, if it is the best choice for diabetics add sesame oil instead of honey.
