White radish treats constipation

Many people know that white radish can be used to treat cough, but people are not very familiar with the idea that white radish can treat constipation.

White radish is known as small ginseng. It has many functions such as ventilating and promoting qi, strengthening the stomach and digestion, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, detoxifying and relieving blood stasis. But although white radish is good, it is not suitable for everyone at all times. If people with qi deficiency or yang deficiency constipation eat it, the symptoms may be aggravated.

According to Chinese medicine experts, the main symptoms of Qi deficiency constipation are sweating and shortness of breath when trying to defecate, fatigue after defecation, pale face and fatigue, tired limbs and laziness to speak, pale tongue with white coating, and weak pulse. People with yang deficiency have cold limbs, cold pain in the abdomen, or sore and cold waist and knees, a pale tongue with white coating, and a deep and slow pulse. For these people, radish, which can promote the flow of qi, should be avoided, otherwise it may aggravate constipation. Because excessive movement of Qi will consume and disperse Qi, it is good for Qi stagnation but not good for Qi deficiency. In addition, bergamot, almonds, mustard greens, oranges, etc. should also be used less. You can eat more yam, lentils, figs, walnuts, taro, etc. Cooking porridge with carrots, Atractylodes macrocephala and sweet potatoes is not only a sweet and delicious meal, but also a great product for invigorating qi and moistening the intestines.

The above is an explanation of the relevant issues about using white radish to treat constipation. This method of using white radish to treat constipation is not suitable for everyone. If you have qi deficiency or yang deficiency type constipation, do not use this method!
