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.”
