Q I have severe constipation and even eating a lot of vegetables doesn't help much — how should I combine Haedokhwan with my diet?
A Eating vegetables and staying hydrated provides a good foundation that supports Haedokhwan's action. Haedokhwan is a supplementary aid taken when bowel movements are not smooth, and the dosage is adjusted based on your bowel condition while you maintain fiber and water intake.
Detailed Answer
Chronic constipation means waste stays in the intestines longer, increasing reabsorption. Haedokhwan resolves this stagnation, while fiber and water maintain a healthy intestinal environment. Combining both stabilizes your bowel rhythm and improves detox efficiency.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
People with severe constipation may need to take Haedokhwan more frequently at first. Once the intestines become more active, a natural bowel rhythm develops, and it is normal for the frequency of Haedokhwan use to decrease from that point on.
