Description
If deficiency of yin is the main cause, the person
experiences small, hard, dry stools, thirst, night
sweats, and a red tongue with very little or no coating
at all. The medicine for this case is Rehmannia
Teapills with the addition of some hemp seed oil. Acute
constipation is comparatively easy to deal with one or
two acupuncture treatments and herbal laxatives. The
most significant acupuncture point for this condition
is Stomach 25 (“Heaven’s Axis”), located on the navel
on either sides.
Herbal laxatives varying in strengths from mild
lubricants to strong purgatives can often bring relief
within a time period up to one day depending on the
severity of the constipation occurs. Chronic
constipation is majorly due to a lacking of one of the
vital substances, making tonifying herbs the treatment
of choice. The herbs and acupuncture points are applied
according to which vital substance needs to be
stimulated or nourished. Fully correcting the
equilibrium of the body and correcting the balance can
take a time period from few days to few months, with a
weekly acupuncture treatment acting to maintain qi
flowing through the intestine.
