Hu
Huo Ma Ren (Ma Zi Ren)
Role in
The chief moistening agent of the formula. Rich in oils, hemp seeds lubricate the intestines, soften dry stools, and promote gentle bowel movements. Used at the highest dose, it directly addresses the core problem of intestinal dryness.
Ta
Tao Ren
Role in
Peach kernels work alongside hemp seeds to moisten the intestines with their oily nature while also invigorating blood circulation. This addresses the blood stagnation component of the constipation, helping to break up 'blood binding' that contributes to blocked bowels.
Da
Dang Gui Wei
Role in
The tail portion of Angelica root is specifically chosen for its stronger blood-invigorating action (compared to the whole root or head). It nourishes blood to address the underlying blood dryness and activates blood flow to resolve stasis contributing to constipation.
Da
Da Huang
Role in
Rhubarb root purges accumulated heat from the Stomach and intestines and promotes bowel movement. Wine-baking softens its harsh purgative force so that it drains heat without causing cramping or excessive fluid loss, working in concert with the moistening herbs rather than overpowering them.
Qi
Qiang Huo
Role in
An unusual inclusion in a constipation formula, Qiang Huo disperses wind and directs the formula's action. Li Dongyuan's original indication includes 'wind binding' constipation, where pathogenic wind lodged internally contributes to intestinal stagnation. Qiang Huo addresses this wind component and helps lift and regulate the flow of Qi, assisting the downward-moving herbs to restore proper intestinal transit.
