Constipation is a condition where bowel movements are infrequent or incomplete. It is a prevalent problem, with one out of seven people experiencing symptoms of constipation. The accumulation of toxins and poor nutrient absorption can result in tiredness, dull skin, emotional instability, bad breath, increased blood pressure, or increased eye pressure caused by strong pushing of stool. In this article, we will discuss a set of methods that can treat constipation, even for stubborn cases.
The Three Keys: Blood, Nerves, and Lubrication
There are three keys to solving constipation: blood, nerves, and lubrication. When the blood circulation in the intestines is impaired, this area can shrink and dry up due to a lack of nutrients, making it difficult to pass stool. Through exercise, we make the blood vessels in the pelvic cavity have sufficient blood and pass the blocked blood vessels so that the intestines are nourished and elastic, which is helpful for defecation.
Nerves also play an important role in the smoothness of nerve conduction, affecting the peristalsis of the intestine. Acupuncture points can be used to stimulate and restore elasticity, which is helpful for bowel movements.
In patients with chronic constipation, or stubborn cases, the intestines are dry, not very peristaltic, and the stools are also dry and hard. It is important to have enough and appropriate fluid to the intestine. Use the specific movement through vibration to shake it, helping the water easy going between dry stool and intestine wall.
The Three Movements:
- Blood Vessel Sweeper Exercise: The first movement involves placing the joints of the two fingers on the buttocks, where the sciatic nerve is abundant and strongest. The sciatic nerve passes from the pelvis to the foot, not only exciting the pelvis but also communicating with the legs and feet. Start slowly to warm up, and then move faster, feeling the blood rushing to the head. Do the faster movement at least three rounds in a minute.
- Palms on the Ovaries or Prostate Area: The second movement uses the energy from the center of the palm, which not only treats constipation but also supports the prostate or ovaries to balance out hormones. Place both palms on the ovaries or prostate area, building up the foundation for the next movement. Do them twice a day, one minute each time.
- Help the Colon Moves Exercise: In the sitting position, cross the left knee over the right knee, clasp your hands over the knee, press the crown of the head up, elongate the spine, raise the pelvic floor, bring the torso forward, and strongly pull the knee toward the body, which works on the lower part of the descending colon. Repeat on the other side.
Conclusion:
Constipation is not just a problem of the digestive system. The accumulation of toxins and poor nutrient absorption can cause various other health problems, which is why it is essential to take it seriously. The above set of methods can treat constipation, even for stubborn cases. Ensure to do them regularly to achieve the desired results.
