Herbal Constipation TreatmentIn a Bath I always look for different constipation treatment which I do not have to swallow. So I am willing to try out this "bath treatment". This is actually using seeds of the morning glory flower in a bath.
You can get all the ingredients from a decent Chinese medicine shop. The proper name for morning glory seeds are: Semen phrbitidis, I bought about 20 grams here.
Other ingredients I need are 20 grams of Chinese rhubarb.
20 grams radix kansui.
20 grams sodium sulfate.
All the ingredient goes into the pot. I decoct these for 45 minutes because I was so free. :-) I must say the smell of this decoction is not as nice as argy wormwood leaf.
The decoction also does not look as nice as argy wormwood leaf. As I pour the decoction into the bath tub, it looks as if I peed into the tub. :-) Nevertheless I like not having to massage myself with a towel. All I have to do is soak myself in the herbs for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, I just relax and read. Well I got up less than the stipulated time because the water was getting cool. The next day, my BM is fine. Yay!
