In most people's understanding, constipation must be the lack of water in the body. I think that if there is a lack of water in the intestines, the stool will be dry, so it will be difficult to defecate. But what I want to tell you is that there are many patients with constipation. What they lack is not water, but ischemia.
Some people's constipation is habitual constipation. Because the symptoms last for a long time and the bowel movements are separated for a long time, it is chestnut-shaped, and it is painful to defecate. It may also be accompanied by bleeding from hemorrhoids , as well as abdominal distension and dry mouth. The whole person is extremely annoying and hot, complexion is chlorosis , always sweats, the pulse is small and weak, and the tongue is reddish. If you encounter more serious patients, even if they use some diarrhea medicines, it may be counterproductive, but it will become more and more serious.
What is this again?
The above symptoms are typical constipation caused by deficiency of Yin and blood. First of all, the patient showed a small pulse, which is an obvious sign of blood deficiency. Secondly, it is red tongue, which is also a manifestation of blood deficiency and heat generation. The complexion is chlorosis, and it is also a manifestation of blood deficiency. Dry mouth, always sweating, but also blood deficiency and internal heat. Therefore, the above symptoms are typical yin and blood deficiency.
In traditional Chinese medicine, blood deficiency often leads to body loss. In other words, our body and blood are of the same origin. Because body fluid can be biochemically derived from blood, and blood is also a component of body fluid. The two are mutually biochemical, so blood deficiency often leads to body loss. The Jin mentioned here is basically equivalent to what we call moisture.
Know the problem, how to treat it?
Conditioning thinking analysis: nourishing essence and blood.
Because nourishing essence and blood can increase body fluid, and this is the fundamental solution to the problem.
In general, we often use angelica to replenish blood, and use to produce Shouwu to replenish essence and blood and moisturize the intestines. Then use red peony to remove blood stasis and hemp seed to moisturize the intestines. On this basis, use raw land , scrophulariaceae, Ophiopogon to nourish yin and clear heat, and use sophora rice , 丹皮 cools the blood to stop bleeding to regulate hemorrhoids, Codonopsis can replenish qi and increase the power of the spleen and stomach.
Of course, it can also be improved by simple methods. For example, using angelica and baiziren as a substitute for tea can nourish blood and moisturize the intestines.
Generally speaking, if it is constipation, we must consider whether it is caused by deficiency of Yin and blood. For example, constipation, pale complexion, upset, thirsty, hot flushes, and often palpitation palpitation, dry mouth, reddish or pale tongue, and less body fluid. At this time, you can't use the diarrhea medicine, but you should give yourself blood.
