Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hi Diana! Welcome to our group I'm sure all are happy to have such a dedicated practitioner as a part of our group. It sounds like your patient has an urapting liver that has been bothering her very weak Spleen! Also yes there is lack of blood but take into account there might be heat in the bld system as well (who knows what came first-sometimes when we have blood stagnation heat is created and sometimes the heat creates stagnation) in any case I don't believe it good to give herbs that will only solve the constipation, especially since it's a very chronic problem, if it were acute it may be different! I think you need to give more spleen tonifying and strengthening formulas there are some that take care of the Liver invading spleen or the heat pattern.. ALSO OIL massage could prove soothing and helpful. All the external intake of diuretics is making the body use to not fighting the constipation on it's own! Good Luck!
