Is constipation caused by kidney yin deficiency or yang deficiency

Modern people are often troubled by constipation. Their diet is usually normal, but their bowel movements are abnormal, which makes them afraid to eat more. Some people use laxatives because they feel constipation is really uncomfortable. Sometimes, taking medicine without determining the cause of the constipation can easily worsen the constipation. Kidney yang deficiency may also cause constipation. This article introduces constipation caused by yang deficiency. If you want to know more about it, please read it.

Many people are troubled by constipation. Most people may think that taking some laxatives will solve the problem. However, for some people, laxatives are ineffective for constipation, and may even make the condition worse. Not long ago, an old man named Ma was treated for his constipation. He had tried rhubarb, panxie leaves, hemp seed pills, etc., but he became more and more constipated. In fact, it is because the root cause of constipation is not clear, because some constipation may be caused by kidney deficiency.

A very important function of the kidney is to "control defecation and urination", which means that the body's defecation and urination are controlled by the kidney. If the kidney yang is weak and there is no strength to push the stool downward, constipation will occur. This type of constipation is called "deficiency constipation", and the main manifestations are inability to defecate, fear of cold, clear and long urination, lower back pain and fear of cold, sometimes cold and painful stomach, and the tongue is paler than normal people, with a white tongue coating.

This type of constipation is caused by kidney deficiency, which is because the kidney yang deficiency cannot push the stool downward. Treatment requires warming the yang and tonifying the kidney to promote bowel movements. You can also use dietary therapy: 30 grams of walnuts, 30 grams of Cistanche deserticola, and 250 grams of japonica rice. First, boil the Cistanche deserticola with water to obtain the medicinal juice. Grind the walnuts into powder and add them to rice. Use the medicinal juice to cook porridge for consumption.

There is another type of constipation caused by kidney deficiency, which is kidney yin deficiency. Kidney Yin is the foundation of the human body's Yin fluid. If the kidney Yin is weak, the body will not have enough water to nourish the intestines, and the stool will be dry and difficult to pass. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this constipation "a boat that has no water."

The symptoms of this type of patient include: dry and hard stools like sheep dung, emaciation, dizziness, tinnitus, fever in the five hearts, hot flashes and night sweats, soreness in the waist and knees, a smaller tongue than normal, a red tongue, little or no tongue coating, and a very thin and fast pulse.

To treat constipation caused by kidney yin deficiency, you need to tonify the kidney, nourish yin and promote bowel movements. Prepare 30 grams of black sesame seeds, 30 grams of mulberry seeds, and 250 grams of japonica rice. First, boil mulberry seeds with water to extract the juice, then cook black sesame and rice into porridge with the juice. You can add appropriate amount of honey.
