Let's first talk about why people are constipated~~
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of constipation is related to the spleen, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, lungs, kidneys, etc. In the process of the transmission of food and water, the stomach is accepted, which is equivalent to a large container, which accumulates food and makes it rotten; The spleen is mainly transported, that is, the rotten water valley in the stomach is digested into subtle substances that can be absorbed and utilized by the human body; The small intestine carries out "secretion and turbidity" treatment for the digestion of the water valley after the action of the spleen and stomach, further digests it, and separates the useful essence from the useless dross; Finally, the dross is excreted through the large intestine.
It can be seen that abnormal decay of the stomach, loss of movement of the spleen, negligence of the small intestine, and abnormal conduction of the large intestine may cause abnormal stool. The main fluid of the kidneys and the main qi of the lungs can also cause constipation when the kidneys are deficient and the lungs are dry.
The reality of constipation, some people don't understand~~
According to the characteristics of the etiology and pathogenesis, constipation can be divided into two categories: partial solid and partial deficiency.
Partial solidity
There are two kinds: dry heat internal junction and qi stagnation. The internal knot is mostly manifested as body heat, polydipsia, bad breath, and burning sensation in the anus, which is called heat constipation;
Qi stagnation is mostly manifested as abdominal distension or abdominal pain, frequent nausea, and decreased diet, which is called qi constipation.
Metadeficiency
There are two kinds of qi and blood weakness and cold condensation. Weakness of qi and blood is mostly manifested as paleness, dizziness, palpitations, fatigue and timidity, which is called constipation;
The condensation of yin and cold is mostly manifested as cold pain in the abdomen, liking heat and chills, which is called cold constipation.
The function of drugs for treating constipation is nothing more than to promote intestinal peristalsis, and they cannot treat the symptoms but not the root cause of different types of constipation, so they are not suitable for long-term use.
