Many doctors tell patients that you have phlegm-dampness and should eat less fruits, because fruits are easy to hinder the spleen and stomach and breed phlegm and dampness, but what should you do if you don't eat fruits and are easily constipated?

People with cold and damp constitution eat fruits for laxatives, which itself is a way to treat the surface but not to treat it, because the cold and damp constitution itself is not suitable for eating cold fruits, and he can only use the cold and damp constitution to restrain cold fruits, so the food can not be metabolized and absorbed normally, and it seems to play a laxative role, in fact, it is no less than drinking salt water laxative. This leads to a vicious circle. Many patients with gastritis and stomach cancer are formed in this way.

So how can I have a laxative process without eating fruits and only eating staple foods? This is to raise the grain. Five grains, the five kinds of grains referred to in ancient times. One refers to rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean; The other refers to hemp (liver), wheat (heart), millet (spleen), millet (lung), and bean (kidney). The sound of the word grain comes from the sound of the shell. Five grains were originally called five kinds of grains in ancient China, and later generally referred to grain crops. Here we will focus on hemp, the first of the five grains, including hemp seeds, flax, black sesame seeds, etc. Ancient books record that hemp "long-term service, through the gods, light body, the main tonic in the qi, fat and healthy immortal", as the name suggests, taking hemp laxative, is from the inside to the outside, rather than through the body's resistance to produce xenophobia. For example, black sesame seeds can "nourish qi, grow muscles, and fill the essence", and hemp seeds can "nourish the spleen and stomach", all of which can be taken appropriately to laxative.
