Exploring the Prevention and Treatment of Functional Constipation on the Basis of"The Communication Between Liver and Large Intestine"
Functional constipation is a common clinical disorder with an increasing prevalence,a long and prolonged course,and often accompanied by emotional abnormalities.Emotional factors have become an important influence on the onset and recur-rence of functional constipation,emotional anomalies to liver qi stagnation,Qi mechanism drainage is not normal,the large intes-tine viscera qi does not pass,thus causing functional constipation occurs.However,constipation for a long time,its root in the spleen deficiency,spleen loss of healthy transportation,ascending clear and descending turbid disorder,and spleen disease and liver,liver loss of excretion,qi stagnation,emotional anxiety,depression and so on.Therefore,"when one sees a disease of the liver,one knows that the liver transmits to the spleen"not only includes the connotation of liver disease transmitting to the spleen,the prevention of transmission by the actual spleen,spleen disease and liver,and the interaction between the liver and the spleen,but should not lack the new connotation of"the liver and the large intestine are connected".Western medicine be-lieves that the liver and the gastrointestinal tract are intrinsically linked anatomically and functionally,and that the"intestinal-liver"axis provides objective evidence to support the idea that the liver is connected to the large intestine.This article attempts to discuss the theory of"the liver is connected with the large intestine"from the aspects of traditional Chinese medicine theory,modem medical research,and clinical application,and the treatment of functional constipation with the method of"the liver and the spleen are adjusted together"under the guidance of this theory.
