In autumn, constipation is mostly dry bowel
Nie Bin pointed out that since entering the autumn, many elderly people have been plagued by constipation, and they have to stay in the bathroom for more than ten or twenty minutes when they get up in the morning, often "fruitlessly". In fact, this constipation symptom is related to the dry weather in autumn. In the dry autumn, in addition to the dry stool, slow defecation or a longer defecation cycle than usual, or even no defecation for many days, are typical symptoms of autumn dry constipation.
Chinese medicine believes that "dryness" is the main qi of autumn. Dry and easy to hurt, the loss of human body fluid will appear dry lips, dry hair, dry skin and other symptoms, the intestines will also become dry due to dry gas damage, many patients who originally had constipation will aggravate the disease due to autumn dryness; some people who originally did not have constipation are also easy to feel that the stool is dry and difficult to solve in this season.
