🌿 Struggling to pass stools? Sitting on the toilet for a long time with little result?
Constipation is extremely common among adults in KL & Bukit Jalil.

Typical symptoms include:

• Hard stools / pellet-like stools

• Straining during bowel movement

• Bloating & abdominal tightness

• Incomplete evacuation

• Bowel movement only every 2–4 days

• Feeling “blocked” even after passing stool

From a TCM perspective, constipation is caused by Qi deficiency, dry intestines, stress stagnation, food retention or damp-heat accumulation — not just “not enough water”.

💬 From the practitioner：

“Constipation is not solved by probiotics alone.
We must restore Qi movement, strengthen digestion, and support the intestines.
Once the body is balanced, the bowels move naturally.”
