Constipation is related to the internal organs
Many people think that constipation is the "unreasonable" intestinal tract. According to Chinese medicine, constipation is not only related to the large intestine, but also related to the dysfunction of the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys.
The "Lingshu·Benshu" article says: "The lungs are combined with the large intestine, the large intestine, the organ of the preacher." The lungs and the large intestine are on the inside and the outside, the lung qi is not known, and the lung qi is blocked, which will cause the large intestine to be blocked and cause constipation.
Liver regulates drainage, which is accomplished by coordinating the lifting and lowering of spleen and stomach qi. If liver qi is uncomfortable, it is easy to cause intestinal qi disorder and cause constipation.
The spleen governs the transportation and chemistry, and the spleen’s transportation and chemistry are out of balance, and the body fluid cannot be used for the stomach, and the body fluid cannot walk the large intestine, causing the intestine to lose moisture and dry stool.
The kidney is sealed, and the resuscitation is in the second yin. Insufficient kidney yin can cause intestinal fluid to dry up, intestinal immobility and constipation.
Therefore, in the treatment of constipation, it is also necessary to differentiate and treat from the viscera. According to different reasons such as liver depression, spleen deficiency, and unexplained lung qi, targeted conditioning treatment is required.
