My constipation has become so severe with age that I can't have a bowel movement without an enema.

Geriatric constipation is characterized by dry intestines (due to a deficiency of body fluids) and a lack of propulsive strength (due to a deficiency of vital energy), which is known as atonic constipation. Laxatives that forcibly expel stool will further weaken the intestines; therefore, it is recommended to undergo <i>Yunjang</i> (moistening the intestines) therapy.

토끼 똥처럼 변이 딱딱하고, 힘을 줘도 잘 나오지 않는 증상입니다.

  • 위험: 과도하게 힘을 주면 혈압이 상승하여 뇌졸중의 위험이 있을 수 있어 주의가 필요합니다.
  • 치료: 당귀, 참깨(마자인) 등 기름기 있는 약재를 사용하여 딱딱한 변을 부드럽게 만들어 줍니다.
  • 물: 갈증을 느끼지 않더라도 하루 1.5리터 이상의 물을 충분히 마셔야 변이 묽어집니다.
