how to manage chronic constipation according to traditional chinese medicine?
Effective Remedies, Diet Adjustments, and Natural Strategies to Enhance Digestion
Chronic constipation is not merely a question of discomfort—it is a fundamental health concern that can diminish one’s overall well-being. Understanding the mechanisms of the digestive system and identifying habits that contribute to sluggish bowel movements is crucial. Rushed meals, inadequate fluid intake, and a sedentary lifestyle often exacerbate digestive stagnation. A mindful approach to dietary habits and lifestyle modifications forms the cornerstone of effective prevention.
INTRODUCTION
Left unaddressed, persistent constipation can pave the way for more severe complications, such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. This is why it is vital to approach the issue holistically and integrate time-honored principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into treatment plans. In this article, we will explore potent therapeutic methods, nutritional recommendations, and natural remedies that can support digestive health and promote regularity.
Chronic constipation is a prevalent condition that can lead to significant discomfort and even long-term health risks. Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a comprehensive approach, focusing on restoring the body’s energetic equilibrium rather than solely alleviating symptoms.
WHAT EXACTLY IS CHRONIC CONSTIPATION?
Within the framework of TCM, gut health is regarded as a linchpin of overall vitality. Gastrointestinal imbalances are often seen as manifestations of deeper disruptions in the body’s Qi, Yin, and Yang dynamics. Instead of merely suppressing symptoms, TCM aims to identify the root disharmony and restore balance.
From a clinical standpoint, constipation is characterized by infrequent bowel movements—less than three times a week—or difficulty passing stool. The causes are multifaceted, ranging from a fiber-deficient diet to hormonal fluctuations, high stress levels, and insufficient physical activity. Given that every individual’s constitution is unique, recognizing and addressing the underlying causes is key to long-term relief.
TCM’S APPROACH TO DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
A deficiency in Spleen and Stomach Qi is particularly noteworthy, as these organs are responsible for processing nutrients and facilitating digestion. Individuals with Qi deficiency often experience fatigue, sluggish digestion, and bloating. Strengthening Qi through dietary choices—such as consuming warm soups, grains, and nourishing teas—along with moderate physical activity, can aid peristalsis and restore digestive efficiency.
According to TCM, constipation frequently stems from the stagnation of Qi, depletion of Yin, or excessive internal heat.
Qi stagnation can result from emotional stress, disrupting the smooth flow of energy within the body.
Yin deficiency dries out the intestines, leading to hardened stool and discomfort.
Excess internal heat, often linked to a diet high in spicy or greasy foods, contributes to dryness and digestive sluggishness.
ROOT CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION IN TCM
Liver Qi stagnation is closely tied to emotional turmoil, particularly stress and frustration. In TCM, the Liver governs the smooth circulation of Qi, and blockages in this system can lead to digestive sluggishness. To counteract this, stress-relief practices such as meditation, breathwork, and relaxation techniques can be invaluable. Herbs like Chai Hu

I believe I've kept the forum up to date with most developments in relation to my digestive issues. When I was referred to a consultant at a top London teaching hospital several years ago, I became his pet guinea pig. He carried out several very extensive test, including an intestinal MRI and we both learn't that I had an asynchronous peristalsis in my bowel causing CIPO with secondary cholelithiasis, and also a spontaneous lateral ventral hernia. Leading on from that, my name was put forward to a study on connective tissue disorders at the same hospital, and I am currently being studied by them.

I should mention that I was only guessing, or going by "gut feeling" (no pun intended!) that my peristalsis was not working correctly. There may very well be a better explanation, because it might have been working correctly, as in the innervation, but still constipated due to more superficial reasons.
These days I'm doing better, but I've had to cut way down on the junk food, as well as 'drying' foods such as carbohydrate-rich breads, pastas, cookies, etc.
Hope you've found something that works for you.

I am not a doctor or medically trained, therefore you should check multiple sources to verify the safety of anything that I mention.
Secondary hypertension can be caused by Hypothyroidism.
Secondary HTN by definition results from an identifiable cause. This type is important to recognize since it is treated differently than essential HTN, by treating the underlying cause of the elevated BP. HTN results compromise or imbalance of the pathophysiological mechanisms, such as the hormone-regulating endocrine system, that regulate blood plasma volume and heart function. Many conditions cause HTN. Some are common and well-recognized secondary causes such as Cushing's syndrome, which is a condition where the adrenal glands overproduce the hormone cortisol.[20] In addition, HTN is caused by other conditions that cause hormone changes such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and adrenal gland cancer. Other common causes of secondary HTN include kidney disease, obesity/metabolic disorder, pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, the congenital defect known as coarctation of the aorta, and certain prescription and illegal drugs.
You will need to thoroughly check out anything that I list because I cannot check whether they could potentially cause problems or interact with something she is already taking. It would be worth determining what is actually causing the HTN because the treatment necessary could be different.
Hawthorn Berry/flowers - The effect is fairly mild but in combination with other herbs it can provide benefit. It does also provide anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins which can benefit the circulatory system. Other berries can also provide benefit.
Pycnogenol (pine bark extract) - Affects only systolic, reducing Stage One hypertensives (140-159) to about 133 mm Hg.
Stevia (stevioside) - Reduces systolic by 10-14 mm and diastolic by 6-14 mm.
Cat’s claw (There are a number of different varieties of this herb, Traditional Chinese Medicine was mentioned where I read this so the Chinese variety is probably the better option - Another herb used in TCM, cat’s claw is traditionally used to treat high blood pressure as well as neurological health problems.
“Cat’s claw has also been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and blood clot formation. This means that cat’s claw could likely be helpful in warding of heart attacks and strokes by not only decreasing blood pressure and increasing circulation, but by also inhibiting the formation of plaque and blood clots in the arteries, heart and brain.
Clinical studies indicate that cat’s claw may reduce blood pressure by acting as a calcium channel blocker. Calcium channel blockers widen and relax blood vessels themselves, which helps blood flow in a healthy, smooth manner.There are a number of different natural Calcium Channel Blocking herbs available and empolying different herbs might be helpful.
1. Celery seeds
2. Garlic
3. Hawthorne berries
4. Cat’s claw
5. Lavender flowers
6. CinnamonA 2006 study demonstrated that cinnamon reduces high blood pressure in diabetics. The researchers noted that cinnamon reduces systolic blood pressure in people without diabetes as well. Scientists are not yet sure how cinnamon lowers blood pressure.
“... it does seem that cinnamon reduces the amount of circulating insulin, which may explain why it's effective for those with diabetes. It was found that a half a teaspoon a day is enough to reduce your blood pressure levels.Warning: For some people, using large amounts of cinnamon can cause flushing and irritate their GI tract, the lining of their mouths, and even cause gingivitis. So, start with a very small amount and slowly increase your intake until you are consuming 1⁄2 teaspoon per day. Also, avoid Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum) for medicinal use. The cassia plant contains Coumarin, which is toxic in large doses.
7. Yarrow
Yarrow is legendary for its ability to heal wounds, but clinical research studies have proven yarrow’s ability to lower blood pressure as well. A study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research proved yarrow lowered blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator.
“These results indicate that Achillea millefolium exhibits hypotensive, cardiovascular inhibitory and bronchodilatory effects, thus explaining its medicinal use in hyperactive cardiovascular and airway disorders, such as hypertension and asthma.Indian Snakeroot
This herb has been used for years traditionally to treat many problems related to the heart. Indian snakeroot (rauwolfia serpentina) does improve cardiovascular health by lowering the blood pressure. This herb has high levels of alkaloid reserpine, a powerful compound that regulates heart function in the body. This is extremely helpful when heart issues or blood pressure is due to stress or high levels of anxiety. - I would urge caution with this herb because it can also affect a persons mood causing depression. It does have some powerful effects on Bacterial Efflux Pumps and that is the only reason that I would use it. It also causes Bradycardia which another herb I take can also cause therefore I would use this very cautiously possibly with a heart and circulatory stimulating herb.Vitamin K2-MK4 & MK7 to help keep calcium where it is meant to be rather than the arteries. Vitamin A is also involved in calcium usage and it does help remove/remodel calcium. The higher end of normal might be helpful but blood levels need to be checked to make sure they do not get too high.
Garlic which lineup has already mentioned.
Garlic is a very powerful herb that is well-known to be highly effective for a number of physical ailments. In fact, many of the benefits of garlic are still being discovered. Recent research done at the University of Berlin found that garlic can remove nanoplaque. Nanoplaque is a compound that gets deposited on the walls of cells, which leads to clogged arteries and atherosclerosis. Garlic is known to stop blood clots, lower overall cholesterol levels, which will stop high blood pressure.Ginkgo Biloba - I avoid this because it does tend to lower/reduce Glutathione levels and there were other effects which I did not like the sound of but I cannot remember what that was.
Ginkgo biloba can thin the blood while dilating your blood vessels, which allow the blood to circulate more easily, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. This popular herb is also high in important antioxidants, terpenoids, and flavonoids, which are known to lower blood pressure, which improves the health of your heart.Buchu is a South African medicinal plant that has also been scientifically proven to be effective in lowering blood pressure. It’s a natural diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent, making it a safe and effective treatment for high blood pressure. Early Dutch settlers used buchu to make a brandy tincture, which is still used today to treat many disorders.
You can find buchu supplements online in the form of capsules or dried leaves which can be used to brew a tea. There is no proven safe dosage recommendation, though you can try
1-2 gms taken in capsule form thrice a day
125-0.25 fluid ounces, if you get the fluid extract
Use 1-2 teaspoons of buchu leaves to brew a tea by infusing in a cup of water for 5 minutes. You can have this tea twice a day.
10-20 drops of tincture in a glass of water, thrice a day
Caution: If you want to use buchu as a medicine to treat hypertension, increase your intake of potassium rich foods like green vegetables and bananas. Pregnant women are advised not to take therapeutic amounts of buchu as it may work as an abortive.Bacopa monnieri (Bacoside A)

Help! Constipation under the Candida Diet
Hello! I’ve been on the Candida Diet to eliminate my eczema and so far, with the supplements that I’ve been using, it’s working! My only problem is that I can’t seem to go to the bathroom to do a #2....
Anyone else have problems with constipation? I’m also concerned that maybe I’m not eating enough since I omitted carbs from my diet. (My eczema is practically all over my body so I chose not to eat carbs to further expand my candida.) I have the tools to do an enema, but according to my holistic dermatologist (he retired, unfortunately) I should be going to the bathroom every day.
That said, does anyone have any advice? I’ve also tried to use castor oil which is usually what helps me go but it hasn’t been working.... - First
