Does the Chinese herbal navel patch treat constipation?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 35 years old this year, and my body doesn't have too many problems, but I often experience constipation again. Sometimes I can't go to the bathroom for several days. I want to ask, can the method of using traditional Chinese medicine patches on the navel to treat constipation be used?

Doctor's answer:

Constipation, although not a very serious illness, can interfere with a patient's quality of life. If constipation is a frequent issue, it is essential to regulate one's lifestyle. If the constipation is severe, many aloe vera capsules can be taken for treatment. Many laxatives can also be used. The method of treating with traditional Chinese medicine patches on the navel is also acceptable. Patients should ideally consume more roughage-rich foods in their diet, eat at regular intervals, and avoid being either overly hungry or overly full.
