Discussion on the Treatment of Functional Constipation of Damp-Heat Type from the Theory of"Division and Elimination of Leakage"
Functional constipation(FC)is a common clinical digestive disease,the prevalence of which is rising year by year,seriously affecting the quality of life of patients.Currently there are fewer treatments and discussions mentioning damp-heat type FC in the clinic.The method of distributing and eliminating away and draining is mainly used for damp-heat symptoms,which has a long theoretical origin and is a characteristic method for treating damp-heat diseases.In this paper,we analyze this method and apply it to damp-heat FC.The mechanism of this disease is based on the intersection of dampness and heat,and the diffusion of the triple jiao is the main cause,so the treatment should be to open the upper part of the body,smooth the middle part of the body,and penetrate the lower part of the body,so as to eliminate damp-heat evils,and according to the severity of the"dampness"and the"heat,"we choose the drugs to reasonably eliminate the dampness and heat,and then choose the drugs to e-liminate them.According to the severity of"dampness"and"heat",we should choose the medicines that can reasonably elimi-nate dampness and heat,and we should take into account strengthening the spleen to help transportation and regulating qi stagna-tion in order to help dissipate dampness and heat,so as to provide theoretical guidance and diagnostic ideas for the treatment of dampness-heat type FC,and to improve the clinical efficacy.
