The treatment of constipation in Chinese medicine is based on the principle of "pass down", but it is not purely a laxative. Instead, it should be based on the situation of constipation, comprehensive analysis and consideration of different causes of the disease to give the appropriate treatment, to treat the symptoms, but also to solve the causes of constipation, taking into account the symptoms and the root cause. Today, I will do a very comprehensive and detailed summary of the treatment of constipation of Chinese medicine, in order to deepen our understanding and mastery of Chinese medicine.
