The Chinese medicine believes that whether the conduction function of the large intestine is normal or not depends on whether the elevation of qi is in order. If the clear qi is ascending and the turbid qi is descending, then the large intestine will be able to conduct normally, so that the dregs will go down and the bowels will be smooth. Otherwise, stagnant qi will not be able to push the feces out of the large intestine, and constipation will result. Therefore, the treatment of qi stagnation type constipation should be based on the principle of smoothing qi conduction and stagnation, and the patient should choose the drugs with the effect of qi conduction and stagnation.
