I used to be constipated for a week, sometimes longer.
I took Jiedu Yang Yan Capsule and Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet, but it didn't work. Sometimes it doesn't work immediately with kaisailu.
It was good to use intestinal tea at first.
Make a thick bag, drink it before going to bed and pull it the next day. Later, I heard from a friend who is a doctor that it is a laxative and will be dependent. Indeed, after a period of use, the amount needed is getting bigger and bigger, and the effect is getting worse.
This friend recommended me to use dried tangerine peel (bought by Taobao) and Chinese herbal pieces. It was not as good as intestinal tea at first, and it didn't work. My friend said that this is Chinese medicine, and there is a gradual process, so you can't worry. Indeed, after a period of time, the effect is gradually obvious, and finally the effect is getting better and better. It takes about a month to defecate normally every day.
I've stopped taking medicine for a long time now, and I've been fine, and I've never been constipated again.
