Anyone ever tried TCM for chronic constipation?

Yes, I was mainly referring to the herbs. I found only 2 available online. Looks like you generally have to see a Dr. that specializes in TCM and get them thru the Dr. There are quite a few TCM clinics in my area and I'm considering a consultation. After all, these remedies have been around for thousands of years. Tired of hearing what laxative or fiber supplement to take from my Dr. I've tried most of them with not much luck. Thanks for the reply.

What’s TCM?

Coincidentally, I was looking into this too… I had found a list in a paper somewhere, but I can’t find what I did with it. But like you, I couldn’t locate the named herbs and combinations online very well either.
Sounds like you have a lot of TCM practitioners in your area, and they’d be a good resource. Many acupuncturists also have experience with herbs, but my doctor and I had told her we weren’t comfortable with that just yet.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy might also be something to look into if you haven’t yet, as it’s also meant to address one possible root cause (the brain/gut connection).
Good luck and hope you let us know how it goes or maybe there will be other replies.
