基于通调三焦法论治功能性便秘
Treatment of Functional Constipation Based on the Method of Harmonizing the San Jiao

三焦作为通道，与全身津液输布运行密切相关，是维持人体水液代谢活动的关键。以三焦为通道，在肺、脾、肾等脏腑的共同作用下，在上、中、下三焦的协同运行中，全身津液得以输布和排泄，人体水液代谢得以平衡。功能性便秘的发生以大肠传导功能受阻为主导，以人体水液代谢失调，脏腑功能紊乱，元气通行受阻为病因。结合三焦与脏腑的关系，若三焦通调不利，则元气不通，气血津液代谢失衡，容易造成热结、寒凝、气血阴阳亏虚等，最终造成功能性便秘的发生。基于此，可以从通调三焦出发，通达调和气血津液代谢，使其运行规律通畅，致便秘则愈，达到天人合一、阴阳平和的正常状态。
The San Jiao, as a channel, is closely related to the distribution and circulation of bodily fluids throughout the entire system. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of water and fluid metabolism in the human body. Acting as a conduit, the San Jiao coordinates with organs such as the lungs, spleen, and kidneys to facilitate the distribution and elimination of bodily fluids across the upper, middle, and lower regions. Functional constipation primarily occurs due to obstruction of large intestine’s transit function, with underlying factors including imbalance in bodily fluid metabolism, disruption of organ functions, and obstruction of Promordial Qi flow. Combining the relationship between the San Jiao and the internal organs, if the San Jiao’s communication is hindered, Promordial Qi flow becomes obstructed. This imbalance in the metabolism of Qi, blood, and bodily fluids can lead to conditions such as heat accumulation, cold stagnation, and deficiencies in Qi and blood. Ultimately, this disruption contributes to the occurrence of functional constipation. Based on this, we can start by harmonizing the San Jiao, ensuring the smooth metabolism of Qi, blood, and bodily fluids. By promoting regular functioning, constipation can be alleviated, leading to a state of balance between heaven and humanity.
