Constipation is a common occurrence among elderly people, and although it is not a serious illness, it can be very distressing. It is common for many people to purchase clear tea, Maren pills, senna leaves, etc. from pharmacies due to constipation. If constipation is caused by excessive heat, it is okay, and there is no major mistake. If it is caused by deficiency, it often starts to work, and the more it is used, the less effective it becomes.

Constipation in the elderly is often caused by deficiency, and it is particularly common for those who experience excess due to deficiency. Elderly people have weakened vital energy, unstable roots and clitoris, liver and kidney yin deficiency, insufficient middle qi, lack of clear qi, and stagnation of turbid qi, which can lead to constipation.

Today, I will introduce a medication that can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation: Cistanche deserticola. Let's take a look at Teacher Ni Haixia's explanation of Cistanche deserticola.

Cistanche deserticola is a good medicine for tonifying the kidneys and anti-aging. It is recorded in the "Shennong Bencao Jing" that it can "nourish the five organs, enhance essence and qi, and take it for a long time to lighten the body." The famous Tang Dynasty doctor Zhen Quan said, "Cistanche deserticola benefits the marrow, brightens the color, and prolongs life." Some doctors also refer to it as an essential medicine for nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence and blood. The people in the Cistanche-producing areas often eat it as food. The famous medical expert Miao Xiyong of the Ming Dynasty discovered during his clinical practice that Cistanche deserticola also had the function of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, which was adopted by later medical practitioners.

It is said that an old man surnamed Tang invited Dr. Miao to treat his illness. The old man had white hair, a thin body, and a haggard appearance. He complained of chest tightness and poor bowel movements. After seeing Dr. Miao, he said that your illness was caused by dry blood and constipation, which was effectively treated with Cistanche deserticola. After taking it, Mr. Tang's bowel movements were indeed smooth, his chest was full of energy, and his spirit was vigorous.

After some more days, Mr. Tang's old illness recurred and he invited another doctor to treat him. He also showed Dr. Miao's prescription to him. After reading it, the doctor shook his head and said, "Cistanche deserticola is a warm and dry product that helps with the harm of fire and yin. How can it be defecated?"? So he switched to using other medications for treatment, and the symptoms not only did not improve but also worsened. Mr. Tang felt that something was going to happen, so he quickly took Dr. Miao's prescription again and it quickly improved. Afterward, the doctor consulted Dr. Miao, who said that Cistanche deserticola is a good medicine for nourishing essence and blood. Ancient books have long recorded that Mr. Tang's physical strength declined at old age, his essence and blood were insufficient, his circulation was abnormal, his intestines were dry and his stools were blocked, his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, and he used a large amount of it to replenish essence and fill deficiency, nourish fluids and moisten dryness, so the medicine was able to cure the disease.

The doctor couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: Some doctors cannot cure common diseases because they haven't read books well.

For elderly constipation, the famous contemporary Chinese medicine practitioner Dong Jianhua is also skilled in using Cistanche deserticola for treatment. The ancients said that the old people were dry and should cook Congee with cistanche.
