中醫治療上，不單純使用瀉劑藥物，而是先辨別身體上的寒熱虛實，瞭解並依個人體質、病狀，以通氣補血、清熱潤腸、溫通腸胃等方法，來達到通便的目的。用於醫治便秘的藥物，依便秘常見的體質分為「攻下藥」和「潤下藥」兩大類。
• 實熱型／病患多出現口乾舌燥、煩躁不眠等交感神經過度處於壓力下的情形。治療上以大黃、番瀉葉這類「攻下藥」為主，但避免過於刺激，建議合併可緩解腸道痙攣及止痛作用的理氣中藥，像是厚朴、枳實等藥材。

做夢是人在睡眠過程中產生的一種正常心理現象。可是有不少人有這樣的苦惱：入睡後，常常做噩夢，甚至被驚醒。有的還擔心噩夢會給自己帶來厄運，造成心理上的恐懼和不安。其實，據一些科學家研究，夢的內容是受個人動機、思維、記憶和性格的影響，它與人的心理活動、工作和生活經歷、身體狀況及自然環境等因素有關。
Thoughts on education and the burgeoning trophy shortage
It's graduation season, so a few relevant links about school, students and our future:
Here's the audio of an interview I did with PlayBuffet
My TEDx talk about education
And a reminder about Stop Stealing Dreams, a free manifesto that asks, "what is school for?" I hope we can ask this question more and more often...
Self service requires information, which requires design
Consider travel as an example:
If you've arranged the flights on the monitor in order of flight time, not destination, requiring me to stop and take out my ticket, you have failed.
If you've hidden the room numbers (or given them fancy names) so that only an employee can find the right spot, you've failed as well.
The label on prescription drugs, the instructions post-doctor visit, the manual for using software or putting together furniture--if we're getting rid of service and turning it into self-service, we owe it to our newly deputized employees (our customers) to give them the tools they need to not need us.
