“以补达通”反治法在老年虚秘中的运用

“Reinforce to Free” Applied in the Old’s Constipation of Deficiency

老年便秘多因年老体弱,气血两亏,从而致大便秘结,此时若一味采用泻药,则愈伤津液,不仅大便难通,而且更加秘结,反之,若补其不足,则肠道得通。此外,尚可配合一些食疗,养成良好的排便习惯。

The old＇s constipation is mostly because of senility and weakness, Qi and blood deficiency, so that leads to constipation. Now, if we only use draining medicine, body fluids will be damaged further. Stool will be not only difficult to free, but also even drier and harder. On the contrary, if treating its deficiency, then it can moisten the intestine to relieve constipation. Otherwise, it can still cooperate with some food remedy. And aged people should form good habit of defecating.
