Lungs are related to the large intestine. Obviously the lungs are associated with taking in oxygen and creating energy. The lungs have to do with taking in, and the large intestine have to do with letting go, both physically and psycho-emotionally.
In my experience, pooing daily is the key to health and happiness. Seriously. My AD causes constipation, and on a day I don't go in the morning I just feel off and tired. I take mag citrate at night and along with its actions on relaxation and energy, it helps move things along. Too much heat and overall deficient yin will obviously cause dehydration and dry out the stools. There are formulas for constipation that lubricate the intestines and help peristalsis. I haven't tried them yet. I do want to try Triphala, which is a natural cleanser. I'll try to remember to look for it next time I go to Little India.
