5. Experience

Habitual constipation is a common clinical condition, commonly seen in the elderly, caused by gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction or secondary to various acute and chronic diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that constipation can be divided into yin and yang nodules. Yang Jie refers to constipation caused by various diseases such as high fever and reduced appetite. Yin nodes often suffer from various chronic constipation and age-related constipation. Western medicines often use purgative agents (such as guide tablets, glycerin, phenolphthalein, etc.), while traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations are mostly combined with rhubarb, senna, and other purgative and cathartic drugs. Although such drugs have definite efficacy, they are ultimately the method of treating symptoms, and should not be taken for a long time, especially for the elderly and infirm.

Elderly and frail patients often suffer from qi deficiency and fluid deficiency, large intestine dryness, and low activity, which can easily lead to constipation. This medicine contains a lot of oil. Although the properties of Cistanche deserticola in the formula are warm, it is a soft and liquid-rich product. It is highly recommended to be warm but not dry or greasy and is good at promoting constipation. It is combined with cypress seed, Angelica sinensis, hemp seed, and almonds to nourish the lungs and kidneys, moisten the intestines, and dry without harming body fluids; Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Muxiang are used to promote qi circulation and bowel movements, enhancing their ability to lower blood pressure and relieve constipation. The laxative effect of this medicine is mild, while it has a regulating effect on gastrointestinal function, which can improve the nature of stool and avoid the disadvantages of abdominal pain and diarrhea during defecation. Especially suitable for deficiency syndrome and constipation in the elderly, long-term use has no toxic side effects, and long-term follow-up observation shows good therapeutic effects.
