CLINICAL APPROACH

Constipation often includes skin problems such as pimples and spots, psychological symptoms such as irritability and insomnia, exacerbation of hemorrhoids due to perianal congestion, and other unexplained direct causes such as bad breath and stiff shoulders. There are various symptoms. In oriental medicine treatment, we not only relieve constipation, but also identify and prescribe the constitution by combining these various concomitant symptoms and physical and mental conditions.

According to Professor Kobayashi of Juntendo University School of Medicine, constipation does not go away well even if people with constipation try various improvement measures, no matter how much they eat or exercise consciously if the autonomic nervous system remains unbalanced. It is difficult to improve radically, and even if it is given temporarily, it will cause constipation again. This balance of autonomic nerves has a lot to do with the "stress" you feel in your daily life. When psychological stress builds up, the autonomic nerves are out of balance, resulting in poor bowel function and constipation.

It was also found that people with constipation are more likely to have dry skin, dullness, firmness, age spots, pores, severe acne / pimples, makeup paste, wrinkles, etc. than those with good stools. I have. It has been shown that constipation has about 6 times more effect on rough skin than mental stress.

According to Professor Kobayashi of Juntendo University School of Medicine, people with constipation have a poor intestinal environment, and waste products accumulated in the intestines are also taken into the blood along with nutrients, resulting in poor blood quality. As a result, nutrients are not absorbed well into the cells, and nutrients are accumulated in the fat around the cells, resulting in subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. In addition, if nutrients are not taken up by cells, the energy metabolism of cells deteriorates, the body becomes tired easily, and fat does not burn easily, leading to further obesity. People with constipation have poor quality blood produced by the intestines and are sick. For this reason, the blood circulation around the whole body deteriorates, and waste products accumulate, making it easy to get tired, and it also tends to cause shoulder stiffness and back pain.

As it is said that constipation is the cause of all illnesses, if you put up with painful constipation and leave it alone, it will lead to various physical disorders.

In this TTMA-independent experiment, we examined whether a 90-minute abdominal massage with Chinazan would excrete stool in a client who had been constipated for a week. While using a warm herb ball, I warmed the abdomen and loosened the deep part. Chinazan is "Ki visceral therapy" if written in Chinese characters. In other words, it is an approach to the abdomen, but it is characterized by taking time until pressure and energy reach deep in the abdomen. The experiment was conducted on 10 subjects, and 3 had bowel movements on the day and 5 on the next day. The two had no effect within 48 hours.
