1. Symptoms

Dry and hard stool, difficult to pass, pale complexion, palpitations and shortness of breath, dizziness, forgetfulness and insomnia, pale lips, pale tongue, thin white fur, and weak and thready pulse.

II. Governing Law

Many women suffer from constipation. If you have a bad complexion, or a yellowish or bloodless complexion, your hair is dull and dry, your tongue is light in color, and your menstrual flow is light, this type of constipation is caused by blood deficiency, which means that the blood cannot moisten the intestines and is caused by dry intestines. For such people, the most effective laxative is blood-replenishing medicine. If you want to save trouble, it is very simple. Just angelica sinensis can help with the bowel movement, and it can also maintain your complexion while doing so.

There is a saying in TCM gynecology that “nine out of ten prescriptions contain Angelica sinensis”, which means that nine out of ten prescriptions written for women by TCM will contain Angelica sinensis. Angelica sinensis is the main ingredient in famous gynecological prescriptions such as “Siwu Decoction” and “Huangqi Buxue Decoction”. Li Shicai, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, commented on Angelica sinensis: "It can lead all blood to their respective meridians, hence the name Angelica sinensis."

You can go directly to the pharmacy to buy angelica slices, use 10 grams a day, brew it with boiling water like tea, and then add some honey to drink it as tea. The laxative effect is sometimes better than that of rhubarb. And because it relieves constipation by replenishing blood, it is impossible to develop drug dependence caused by eating rhubarb for laxatives. Generally speaking, if you persist for a week, the effect will be very obvious.

By the way, the most commonly used laxatives such as rhubarb, senna leaves, and cassia seeds are "stimulant laxatives". They can help with bowel movements, but the problem they cause is the intestinal dependence on them. For example, with a type of rhubarb preparation, two tablets may be enough to help with bowel movements in the first week, but the number may need to be increased to three tablets the next week, and more thereafter, otherwise it will be ineffective. Therefore, people will take more and more of the medicine, which is a common feature of stimulant laxatives. But angelica does not have this problem, because it treats both the symptoms and the root cause. While relieving constipation, it also replenishes the blood. When the blood is replenished, the intestines are moistened and constipation can be solved from the root.
